I need to remove self signed certificates from a 2 node cluster that was used for testing SQL Server 2012 encrypted connections. I did a similar test on my desktop and SQL Server would not restart after removing the self signed cert there, complaining about not being able to find the certificate. I set Force Encryption to no with the SSConfig Manager and dropped the cert with MMC.
The cluster is going to turn into a QA SQL installation and I can't afford to have SQL not restartable.
Thanks, joe
Hi
So is there any architectural possibility of making a DBMS with user defined DML capabilities?i.e., Other than SQL server.
Thank you

There is a strange problem on some of new upgraded sql server 2012 servers,for example:
use testDB
go
select partition_id,object_id,index_id,partition_number,rows
from sys.partitions
where object_id = object_id ('testtable')
order by index_id
select partition_id,object_id,index_id,partition_number,row_count
from sys.dm_db_partition_stats
where object_id = object_id ('testtable')
order by index_id
-- query results as below
Index 2 and index 11 index columns are:
indexid 22: Hotel(int), onlineDisplay(char(1)), CloseFlag(char(1))So the question are:
1st: Why the two queries got different results?
2nd: Why the two indexes (indexid =2 and indexid=11) have multiple rows from sys.partitions
3rd: And the two indexes (indexid =2 and indexid=11) have different rows?
Many thanks.
I've done a lot of reading over the past about SQL and database structures. One of the most helpful being:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4048151/what-are-the-options-for-storing-hierarchical-data-in-a-relational-database
which does an overview on many types with links to more information. However, after reading it has brought up several questions. Currently, I'm looking to build a database, and am trying to choose the best structure for an extremely large
number of sets. It will be leaf heavy, but also a moderate number of middle nodes. It will initially have several inserts, but few inserts, and removes after insertion. However, there would be frequent updates to information within all of the
nodes, hence navigating to specific items through their lineage is important. Lets use a business employee model to represent my case which has 4 tables. They link as follows:
Region Manager
\ /
Store
|
Employees
Now I've seen the examples on msdn which reference a join statement to link tables, but I assumed that when one uses join that it linearly goes through all elements in a table binding and checking whether the condition (if where is used) is satisfied. Is my assumption correct? This is what I understand to be a type of adjacency set and to me would be way too slow for my application and I would need to use something with fast queries for a large dataset.
The following methods as I understand it don't partition into separate tables and instead contain all information in one table.
Nested sets is another option, but I dislike how intensity of the insert/move/delete procedures. I also read that recursive procedures can incur major costs, but since I'm using SQLite is that still true?
I saw materialized path/lineage column which sounds pretty great, but requires string analysis. Plus, I don't have a single lineage. I figured I could fix the initial issue by referencing positive or negative values of lineage (region would have a negative id while manager would have a positive).
The last method described was multiple column lineage which has a maximum number of nests, but in my case this is of no issue since I have a finite number.
I like the last method the best, however I'd rather just store everything in 4 different tables and have a parent/child id like we have for adjacency lists. However, I don't want to linearly search each table as that would be expensive if queried on the employee table. Is it possible to linearly search regions (there would be a lot less of them) and find its children (potentially multiple) in store and find all the employees of store without linearly searching each subsequent table for matches? Or is it silly to not just use a join/where query to get the information?
I guess I'm still quite lost when it comes to building/querying my database. If I could just get some more information regarding how these techniques iterate through the tables and suggestions of how to setup/query for this table setup I would be greatly appreciative! Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Hello Experts,
We have a Sharepoint farm where we are receiving OS Error 170 for many days. It results in database shutdown/Start because required transaction file is not available.
The operating system returned error 170(The requested resource is in use.) to SQL Server during a write at offset 0x0000029495e000 in file 'F:\MSSQL10_50.INST1\MSSQL\DATA\****.***. Additional messages in the SQL Server error log and system event log may provide more detail. This is a severe system-level error condition that threatens database integrity and must be corrected immediately
Write error during log flush.
Error: 9001, Severity: 21, State: 4.
The log for database 'DBNAME' is not available
We have checked the Anti Virus but all data files are excluded. We have also disabled the anti virus for some time but still issue persist.
This is a Virtual Machine and no VM snapshot backup is running during the time window.
Please help!
Thanks in advance.

Hello, I searching for information about best practices to implement or parameters to configure before or during the installation under VMware / ESX environment / vSphere and SQL Server 2012 and Sharepoint 2013 (including a tabular SSAS server, a data warehouse and ETL SSIIS server, server, SSRS to generate reports, a Sharepoint Server for broadcast of PowerPivot reporting and PowerView)
Can you help me please.
Thanks for advance.
I need to restore many DBs to the same point.
I know I can restore them with stopAt time, but I'm afraid I could lose some transaction that would happen in that exact time.
I think using the STOPATMARK = 'lsn:xxx' is more reliable.
My question is if I can use on LSN for all DBs, meaning, the LSN is global to instance and not per DB. right?
if I restore all the DBs to the same LSN, this means that I get all the transaction that occurred all over the instance in all DBs before this transaction, right?
Hi team,
I have one big production database; under this production database one very important table is there.
Here I am updated the table wrongly, but I have table backup before updating the table.
Here how we can restore the backup table into old backup table.
Hi,
I'm not sure when this started happening but today, none of us using SSMS 2012 connected to SQL server 2012 SP1 were able to script any objects. we are presented with the message
Failed to retrieve data for this request. (microsoft.sqlserver.management.sdk.sfc)
Invalide column name 'xml_index_type'.
see screenshot.
wondering if any ran into this before and have a fix?
Thanks

Hi all,
1) I scheduled full backup on Sunday.
2) Differential Backup every day twice for every 12 hours.
3) And Log backup every hour.
But , i will be taking a full backup of necessary database (to place from application server to test server )in between as per the request from the teams.
Does taking a full backups in between affects a scheduled plans .
Please , do me needful. And the scheduled plans what i implemented is good or not (if it is not good please suggest me )
Thanks All....
Hello,
I have SQL Server 2012 instance installed on 2 different machines, one is my local machine (Development) and other on a Staging environment. The server version's and editions are all same.
When I execute a stored procedure, the Staging server takes 3 times (takes 3 seconds) as much as my local machine (takes 1 sec). The databases are same, as I backed up the DB from Stage to my local machine. The execution plans are same, the reads and writes are same. Running profiler, the only thing I am seeing different is the CPU time. The CPU time is also 3 times on stage vs on development.
My local machine has a Intel i7 processor 3.4GHz, where as the stage server has Intel i5 2.7GHz. Also the stage server is a Virtual server having Windows Server 2012. My local machine is Windows 7. Could processor make such a difference? (3 times execution time).
Indexes are same, I rebuilt them on both machines. I tried DBCC freeproccache on both before running them. The recordsets are same. Could processor could really make such a difference on Sproc execution time?
Greatly appreciate any/all comments/thoughts.

USE Master
SELECT * FROM SysMessages

when i execute the above query, in description column am getting English and Chinese , here if i want to select only English .

And why am getting data in Description column in Chinese also any reason behind it.
If there is any reason please suggest me.
Hi,
On My SharePoint Database a snap file is created which consumes lots of space and the performance of server is degraded.
The snap file is created automatically and its also removed automatically after 1 day.
I am new to SQL and won't find any scheduled task for snap file under SQL .
I had checked on technet and won't find an appropriate solution, why snapshot file is created.
The SQL server version is 2008 R2 and SharePoint version is 2013.
Also due to snap file sometime I am unable to take backup of database with DPM (Data Protection Manager).
Thanks,

Hello
I've came to situation where I can not find who is backing up the server. :)
At a specific time database get backed up with two tools. One is known, another is the one that needs to be tracked.
Windows logs show these backups as a regular SQL backups, nothing special about these.
SQL trace shows that backups as a backup with following info
BACKUP DATABASE [DBNAME] TO VIRTUAL_DEVICE='{GUID comes here}' WITH SNAPSHOT,BUFFERCOUNT=1,BLOCKSIZE=1024,COPY_ONLY
SQL Trace shows that backups are done with LocalSystem account and hostname is server name.
I can not find any jobs that might start such backups. Also Backup admins say that they have one tool configured for backups (the known one). And Sharepoint Admins say that database backup is not enabled it the settings (I've checked in SP 2013 you can configure Content DB backup from Sharepoint administration).
Maybe someone can advice how to track down that application, which is doing backups?
Thanks.

hi team ,
i am able to connecting sql server , but click the new query window getting below error.
I have a question relating to compatability, and the Microsoft documentation seems unclear. Here are the system specs:
Windows Server 2008 R2 (64 bit) Standard
SQL Server 2008 R2 (64 bit) Standard
The desire is to link to an Oracle server. It appears I can possibly use:
Oracle Provider for OLE DB: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190618(v=sql.105).aspx
or
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms675851(v=vs.85).aspx
We've had issues trying the first one. When I looked closer (and found above link) its suggested that the Oracle provider is not compatable with our system? 32 bit Oracle driver does not work with 64 bit SQL server:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2555855/en-us and it appears 64 bit driver is simply "None" for support.
Can anyone confirm Which driver(s) I can use given my setup? It looks like the Microsoft driver may be the only compatible driver for our setup. The message regarding it being a discontinued feature concerns me.
