The link to the latest SQL Server developer edition compatible with Windows 7

$

0

Hello,

I would like to install SQL Server developer edition on my Windows 7 machine. SQL Server 2019 is not compatible. I would like to try earlier versions but cannot find download links for them.

There is some information on previous SQL Server versions on microsoft site in Products/Previous Versions section, but no download links to developer editions, only evaluation downloads.

So the question is: What is the latest version of SQL Server developer edition that works on Windows 7 and how can I download it? 

Thanks!

SSMS 18 and TFS - Where and how?

$

0
I just installed SSMS 18 and cannot find information on how to activate TFS and source control features.
I have Visual Studio 2019 installed and I heve been using source control features in SSMA 17.x that I activated by editing the ssms.pkundef file.
In version 18 there is no such option because the ssms.pkundef file does not contain references to TFS.
Is there a solution I have not found yet?
It is absolutely essential to have source control functionality because it has become the standard way of work of my team.
For now, the only solution that is within my reach is the uninstallation of version 18 and return to version 17.9 but I can not believe that there is no way to do it in version 18.
Can someone help me?

We are unable to patch one of the MSSQL server application since there is issue with the Cumulative update package , as it is not supporting the Current version of SQL server 2016 and not detecting the Instance on it for update progression to proceed further with the next step.

No impact on the serverSQL Server throwed following error :

The version of SQL server instance MSSQLSERVER doesnot match the version expected by the sql sevrer update.The installed sql server product version is 13.0.1601.5 and the expected sql server version is 13.2.5026.0

Hyper-V vs. Dedicated Hardware

$

0

We currently have our SQL Server as a VM using Windows Hyper-V and it's been running fine until the past year when demand and reporting increased causing time to build report from NAV 2009 to take 4 hours to finish.  There has been discussion that having SQL on a hyper-v server run the server slower with other hyper-v on the same physical server.  I'm looking for someone to confirm that using today's Xeon gold processor and HPE server grade NVMe drives will provide the speed needed if the SQL and one other server are on the same physical hardware.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks!

Why

Patching SQL Server 2016 SP1 (13.0.4259.0) GDR to SP2

Sorry for the silly question, but I've learned to ask questions first without assuming :)

Can any SQL server admins advise me:

I need to patch my SQL server to SP2 and the latest CU.  I'm currently running SP1 version (13.0.4259.0) GDR.  I just wanted to confirm it's ok to first patch with SP2 and then CU11.  The GDR (general distribution release) in the version number is throwing me off as I see other patches for GDR, do I need to use one of those?

Thanks in advance!

  • apart from analytics, is this gives sqlengine  Performance compare with sql 2016.
  • in-place upgrade / side-by-side upgrade which one best & safe ( in production).
  • we have SSRS (native) running on production. during in-place upgrade this existing SSRS removed . and we need to install SSRS feature alone & setup SSRS using restore encriptionkey/db backup.
  • & we have Transcational Replication ServerA (pub+distribution) to Subscriber.  So first update Publication then Subscriber is possible?  ( we cannot upgrade subscriber then publisher? )

.ldf-file growing but common methods are not helpful

$

Hello dear Reader,

I have a problem with a log-File of only one database at one of our customers.

Since a few weeks the .ldf file grows over the day to 250 Gigabyte (while the .mdf file size is around 5 Gigabyte).

I took a look in the logs.

-Recovery Model is Full.

-Transactions-Logs are saved.

-The .ldf-File is 90% full (disk usage report).

-The .ldf-File gets shrinks each day after saving the data smaller to a few megabytes and grows in minutes till hours each day to 250 Gigabyte. (disk usage report)

-I should add that there are no open transactions!

-The database only gets used by a third-party application.

How I can find out / Monitor why the log file shrink and grows every day by ~250 Gigabyte?

It seems really that the transactions are valid (they get successfully cleaned each day, transactions saved but still 90% of that 250 Gigabyte are in use).


SQL Server Setup on Hyper-V - Disk Config

$

0

Hi All,

I am about to start setting up an SQL server on Hyper-V for an ArcGIS Server. I have done a fair bit of reading on the subject of drive configuration and generally, people seem to agree that OS, Data, Logs and TempDB should all be on different drives as they have different performance requirements.

The hardware we have for the new server has 4 x 2 TB SAS SSDs in RAID 10, for VM storage and a 240GB RAID 1 for Hyper-V. The 4 disk array is currently configured as one big drive in Hyper-V.

Now, I can setup the SQL server to have separate virtual disks for OS, Data, Logs and TempDB, however, this seems to not really achieve much as all the virtual disks will be stored on the same SSD array.

I have seen some info about configuring SQL in Azure which seems to indicate that it is OK to put the Data and Logs on a Premium SSDs and TempDB on another (non-persistent) drive. I have also seen some people putting forward if you are on an SSD array the disk configuration becomes a lot less important.

If the case is that on this HW, I don't need to create a separate virtual disk for each of Data, Logs and TempDB, then I would prefer to simply have 2 drives - OS (including SQL server app) and Data (for Data, Logs and TempDB). 

I'd love to hear any suggestions on what might be the best setup with the HW I have in your opinion. 

Thanks

MS SQL Server 2019 Developer Edition for Test env

$

Hi all!

This question related for license terms of MS SQL Server 2019 Developer Edition.

Our company will plan to use MS SQL Server 2019 Developer Edition for test environment. I have red License guide for MS SQL Server 2019, but some points actually are not clear.

So, our cases below:

1. We will plan to restore backup from PROD env with data to TEST env for testing issues and diagnostic issues;

2. At TEST env we probably will communicate with external systems for data exchange for test issues. Such external systems could be located at PROD env.

Is there violation of license terms related to MS SQL Dev Edition? Could please anyone clarify?

 



How can I check if a product key I bought from Ebay is valid?

Dear all,

I bought through Ebay License for MS SQL 2014 Enterprise Edition.

The seller provided me some links to download the iso files for installation and sent me a product key.

Currently I have installed in my computer MS SQL 2014 Express edition.
I tried to do "Edition Upgrade" using the product key that the seller provided.
The setup says that this product key is not valid.

I currently tried the edition upgrade with the installation setup of Express Edition I have already installed.

To whom I should send this product key from Microsoft to inform me if this product key is valid?

And if it is valid can you inform me how I can proceed with upgrading my existing installation (Express)?


Kind Regards,
Alexandros Kroustis
