New install of older version on new machine questions (2008 R2 Express)

November 6, 2014, 2:15 pm

Hi,

I want to setup SQL Server 2008 R2 Express to an i5 machine running window 8.1. This should include ssis, ssrs, ssas, and the management studio. The instructions say to:

Step 1: Install Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or later from theDownload center

Step 2: Download SQL Server Express by clicking the SQLEXPR.EXE or SQLEXPR32.EXE link on this page. To start the installation immediately, click Run. To install SQL Server Express at a later time, click Save.
Note: SQLEXPR32.EXE is a smaller package that can be used to install SQL Server Express on 32-bit operating systems only. The SQLEXPR.EXE package supports installing onto both 32-bit and 64-bit (WOW install) operating systems. There is no other difference between these packages.

Step 3: Follow the installation instructions provided in the Readme. Known issues may be found in the release notes.

How do I do this on a new operating system without messing up the operation of other programs?

Is there any downside to loading the 64 bit version?

There are 9 files in the download section, none exactly the same name?

Does this also require installation of Visual Studio? If so which ver.?

I could not find a way in 8.1 to see the version of .net framework but is it likely higher than the required 2.0?

Sorry for my lack of understanding these basics, I have been siloed doing VBA for Access and Excel. The last I wrote any T-SQL was ver. 2000 about 8 years ago and need to expand my skills for a new assignment.

Thanks for any assistance,

What is the choice of predicate in the ON or WHERE caluse?

Hello,

Can anyone tell me what is the choice of the side (left/right)  of predicate in ON or WHERE clause?

Suppose there is a select statement

select * from table1 t1

inner join table2 t2 on t1.column1=t2.column1

left join table3 t3 on t3.column1=t2.column1

On what scenarios should we change the left/right side predicate order.

i.e when should we put the order of predicate the other way

1) t2.column1=t1.column1 

2) t2.column1=t3.column1

Does it affect performance of a query in any way?

Regards

BCP Utility Comma

I have the following problem. I need to create a .csv file with SQL (with the bcp utility). I can create this .csv file and the following data is inserted:
1","ad","dsa","333","","2","0","","","","""

I want to avoid this double quotes. I want only double quotes if there is a comma in one field. For better understanding, the following 3 cases must be done.

Fields containin commas can be surounded by quotation marks, these must be double quotation marks (“ ”) and not single (‘ ’) e.g.

“a, b, c” would be accepted as 1 single field but a, b, c would be 3 separate fields.

In adition, any double quotation marks which need to be displayed in a field must also be surounded by double quotation marks e.g.

If an address should display as “The Street”, this should be sent as ““The Street””

Apostrophes can be sent in the file e.g.
A client with surname O’Clay and forename Jenny with a free text field holding “comma, example” would be sent in the file as O’Clay,Jenny,”comma,example”.


This is my code:
bcp TESTPROJECT.dbo.table out c:\aa.txt -c -t"\",\"" -r"\"\n\"" -S .\sql2014 -U username -P password

So the problem is in the -t"\",\"" -r"\"\n\"" part but how I can do this?

Intellisense Stopped Working

A day or two ago, IntelliSense stopped working on my computer. Specifically, it doesn't capitalize built-in function names and it doesn't list the available tables in the same way. I am using MS SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2. I've tried the following fixes:

  • In Tools > Options > Text Editor > Transact-SQL > IntellisSense, every box has a check in it and "Casing for built-in function names" says "Upper case".
  • IntelliSense is enabled (Query > IntelliSense enabled).
  • I ran Edit > IntelliSense > Refresh local cache several times.

Can anyone help me? Thanks!

How to find what app server the database is connected to in Mgmt Studio

Hi all,

First time using this forum...I have question for SQL Mgmt Studio...forgive my ignorance I know nothing about SQL other a few basics.  Anyway, I have been tasked with setting up documentation to show which database is connected to which application server.  Some of these my DB admin does not even know as it was there before them.  So my question is...is there a way within the Mgmt Studio gui (which I DO have proper access) to find this out?  When I click on a DB and go to properties it tells me alot about the db itself but there is nothing about where the front end is that's connecting to it. 

Any help would be great, thanks!  BTW using SQL server 2008 Mgmt Studio version 10

Software Assurance is required

My customer has a private windows domain with 2 locations, main and the branch. The main office has 2  VMWare host servers that are utilizing shared storage. It is hosting a virtual domain controller, virtual file server, virtual email server and a Virtual SQL server.  On physical host “A”, They have a domain controller and SQL server. On physical host “B”, They have a file server and email server. They have the high availability capacity in VMware to move all virtual servers from host “A” to host “B” in the event of a hardware failure. They have to purchase SQL 2014 Standard Edition. I am told I have to purchase software assurance for their scenario. Is this correct?

Able to Restore DB through GUI even the DB is in offline state.

Hi,

I made the DB offline and right click on the database and found the restore option greyed out and it wont allow to perform the restore operation.

But before making the database offline if I launch the restore operation and donot hit run (Right click on the DB--Task--Restore--selected the option to restore) and minimize the Restore GUI and then put DB offline and bring up the minimized restore window and hit OK,I am able to restore the DB.

So is this a bug that when we make the DB offline and look for the Restore option on GUI,the option is greyed out and doesnot allow us to restore where as before making the database offline, launch the restore operation and donot hit run (Right click on the DB--Task--Restore--selected the option to restore) and minimize the Restore GUI and then put DB offline bring up the minimized restore window and hit OK,I am able to restore the DB?

Thanks,

Deepak Sahu.

My problem is a simple one. When I create a new column and give it a Data Type, my options do not inlcude the "time" type. I found the documentation about available data types, and time is listed as one for SQL 2014. My desire is to have a data type that fits the HH:MM:SS format, excluding the date part that datetime offers. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Decommissioning SQL Server 6.5 -- ODBC drivers, etc.

I'm a software consultant who's been hired to extract the data from a SQL Server 6.5 database and put it into something...anything, more modern, just so they can look at historical data once in a blue moon. It's been a very long time since I've worked with a SQL 6.5 version server. As an Action Pack subscriber I've got access to all of the modern SQL Server tools.  Is DTS even an option? I'm guessing I might need to have that version of ODBC driver to work with this version of server, or would the newer ones be backward compatible? If I need an old ODBC driver, does anybody know where I can get one? Some insight of what I might be up against would be helpful.

Hi,

i have loop like printing number from 1 to 5.

But i want to print those output in the same line. What i am getting is 1 and on next line 2 and goes on.

Sample:

while @i<5

begin

print @i;

set @i=@i+1;

end

I know that it can be done like concating the data in a string variable. and finally to print it. But i am eager to know is there any function to achieve this.

Thanks in advance.

I wanted to create a view from ms. access. So I used the following code

CREATE VIEW  Teaches (DayId,DayName,Period,SubName) AS
SELECT D.DayId,D.DayName,P.Period,S.SubName
FROM Day AS  D,Period AS  P, Subject AS  S,Teaching AS  T
WHERE T.DayNo=D.DayId AND T.PeriodNo=P.PerId AND T.SubNo=S.SubId
ORDER BY D.DayId ASC;

But its saying that there is a problem at the FROM statement. Can anyone tell me why this doesn't work?
