Are there any downsides to applying SQL server SP's and CU's via SCCM, alongside windows updates
Hi
We currently apply SQL server Sp's manually, to allow for certain level of testing. However this often gets delayed and presumably means that we are not applying the latest security fixes as often as we would like.
We do however, apply windows updates (via SCCM) every month, automatically, and are thinking of applying SQL server SP's and CU's automsatically at the same time. Can anyone see any downside re this ?
As I understand it , since 2016 , microsoft are recommending that you pro-actively patch:
Do security fixes for SQL server (GDR's ?) only get installed as part of SP's or CU's ? i.e. is there a way just to automatically apply GDR's

Restoring a 2014 database
Just need some advice, we have a copy of a 2014 database and would like to restore it on a 2012 box.
Firstly, is this possible? because we are getting the following error message.
The media family on device "xxxx.bak" is incorrectly formed. SQL Server cannot process this media family.
Why is this happening?

DMA 4.1 shows breaking changes.. Will upgrade fail or be success?
I am planning to upgrade SQL 2016 instance to SQL 2017.
I have several databases showing breaking changes related to CLR assemblies and table hints, if the compatible changes to 140.
We are planning to do an inplace upgrade, I guess during this, the upgrade process will attempt to change the compatibility level to 140.
My question is, will these reported breaking changes cause the upgrade to fail to due being incompatible ?
Or will the upgrade complete successfully but the reported changes wont work anymore?
Sorry im i am not clear.
According to this link
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/datamigration/2018/10/16/announcing-assessments-on-premises-sql-server-migrating-to-azure-sql-database-managed-instance-using-dma-4-1/
"DMA also identifies compatibility issues related to the following areas:
Breaking changes: The specific schema objects that may break the functionality migrating to the target database. We recommend fixing these schema objects after the database migration."
But im not sure if that means for inplace upgrade or, backup restore or rolling upgrade etc..
thanks if anyone can clarify for me..
I dont want to do the inplace upgrade and break the instance/database.

Collation problem
Hi, We happen to have different collation between the databases and we usually use collate keyword to make sure the queries successfully run. We fixed the collation to match between all the databases, But we are still getting the collation related error messages when we run below query. Both OrderDB and CT_OrderDB are in the same collation , here is the error message:
Cannot resolve the collation conflict between "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS" and "Latin1_General_BIN" in the equal to operation.DECLARE @rowcounts TABLE (mergeaction nvarchar(10));
DECLARE @insertcount int, @deletecount int;

INSERT (order_number, wh_id, priority_score, threshold_type_id, updated_date) VALUES (CT.order_number,CT.wh_id,CT.priority_score,CT.threshold_type_id,CT.updated_date)

SELECT @insertcount = COUNT(*) FROM @rowcounts WHERE mergeaction IN ('INSERT', 'UPDATE');
SELECT @deletecount = COUNT(*) FROM @rowcounts WHERE mergeaction IN ('DELETE', 'UPDATE');
DELETE @rowcounts;
SELECT @insertcount AS insertcount, @deletecount AS deletecount
and I double checked the collation, is there anyway it might be cached? Thank you!

Connect to on prem SQL Server 2016 using IP Address not Server name
I am trying to connect looker to SQL Server and need to pass IP address of my laptop and port number to establish communication.
Have already done the following:
- opened firewall port 1433 for inbound traffic
- enabled TCPIP as a protocol for my default 2016 instance
- set the TCP Port for 1433
- restarted services
- configured SQL Server to accept remote connections
- setup sql authenticated user "looker" as sysadmin
- Entered following into "Server Name" in "Connect To Server" dialog - "//##.##.###.###,1433 "
- Selected following into "Network Protocol" in "Connection Properties" dialog - "TCP/IP"
This is to test that I can connect locally using the ip address prior to attempting to do same through looker.
Keep receiving this error below - have tried not supplying port number after IP, removing "//", adding "http://" before IP address. If anyone has pulled this off I would be glad to hear!

cache plan pressure limit
I'm doing some research about the local memory pressure limit and as I understand it (simply put), the local pressure limit is calculated as follow on SQL Server 2106: 75% of target memory between 0 - 4GB + 10% of target memory between 4 - 64GB + 5% of target memory > 64GB.
When a cache store reaches 62.5% of the pressure limit entries are removed from the store. SQL Server uses a CLOCK algorithm with two hands (INTERNAL and EXTERNAL) to remove those entries.
I checked my research on a SQL Server 2016 SP1 CU3 with a target memory of 24GB but I think there is a mistake in my research. Using the above info the pressure limit is 5GB and entries should get removed from a cache store when it reaches 3.2GB.
I used the dm_os_memory_cache_clock_hands DMV to check when the clock hand moved. When I checked dm_os_memory_cache_counters I saw that entries got removed when pages_kb was aprrox 3140MB.
Can somebody check if my research is correct and explain why entries are getting removed when pages_kb is aprrox 3140MB?

error: 22123, severity: 16, state: 1 after installing SQL Server 2014 SP3
Hi,
After installing the new SP3 for SQL Server 2014, we keep getting the error: 22123, severity: 16, state: 1 - "Change Tracking autocleanup is blocked on side table of <TABLE>. If the failure persists, check if the table <TABLE> is blocked by any process.
I found a related issue with installing the latest SPs with SQL Server 2016 and 2017. However, this is now resolved with a CU for each of the versions.
It looks to me like a bug in the newer SPs of each version. However, I don't know why a CU was not released for SQL Server 2014. Can anyone confirm or provide more information into this?
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

A query which has previously been performing well suddenly starts to take a very long time to execute, based on the information contained in the actual execution plan fragment below, what would your next steps be?
<o:p></o:p>
2.
You need to produce a report which shows the highest and second highest bidders for various auctions. Sample data for a single auction is included below (In the table you are reporting against there is data for multiple auctions). How might you write a query to return (for each auction):
• The highest bid and the second highest bid
• The time difference between the highest bid and second highest bid
You don’t need to write SQL, just indicate the general methods & techniques you might use.
AuctionID | BidAmount | BidDate | UserID |
15410 | 42559.23 | 16/11/2012 19:38 | 41 |
