Hi,
When I Restore one of the .bak file in SQL Serve Management 2014 by clicking on Restore Databse. "Back Sets to Restore" does not show selected .bak file .
I was wondering if none of the .bak is restore able and then I retried few of the earlier .bak file which I was successfully able to restore.

Then I Suspect that file is corrupted. I did decent research on various site but all are diverting to the same 2-3 recovery tool.
I even tried one of the recovery tool and was able to connect that to MS SQL server and partial data was their in MSSQL server as it was free tool.

This confirms that MS SQL file was corrupted. 

I need help if there is any Microsoft freely available approach I can use to recover corrupted .bak file instead of paying dollars to other.

i have 2 tables with following structure

ONe : Branches Table

Another Table

Now when i execute this query with NEPAL PARAMETE then it return data 

select a.BranchCode,b.Branch_Name,b.BranchRegion from DailyCashPositionTbl a, GetBranchDetails b
where a.BranchCode=b.Branch_Code
and b.BranchRegion='NEPAL'

now if i change paramete to WESTERN THEN IT DOES not return any value , why is thi

select a.BranchCode,b.Branch_Name,b.BranchRegion from DailyCashPositionTbl a, GetBranchDetails b
where a.BranchCode=b.Branch_Code
and b.BranchRegion='WESTERN'

I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ERROR OCCURED.

Dear All, i have try to configured log shipping multiple databases(on server) but getting error .

1. one database  configured log-shipping working fine.

2. when second database try to configured log shipping getting error message.

error is below.

Hello everybody,

I access a database via EntityFrameworkCore, from a WebAPI project.

The previous project had no problem, but the key of the Post was named PostId.

Well, in a new project I have another name for the key, I do not know whether this is the problem.

I explicitly set the AUTOINCREMENT for the key.

From SSMS I can insert a new record and its key is automatically set to the next available value.

But from EntityFramework, I am said that it is impossible to insert an explicit value in the identity column when IDENTITY_INSERT is defined to OFF.

Defining it to ON in SSMS changes nothing.

Is this a question I have to ask in a forum about WebAPI, or perhaps EntityFrameworkCore,  or did I miss anything about SQL Server ?

Hi, 

I just installed the Sql Server Express 2016 in a Win 2010 ver, so after complete the installation i needed to installing SSMS from installation center, after chose  any Folder  i got the msg INVALID FOLDER, so i coulndn´t completed the installation.

I cheked all the permition issues from my user perfil and all is OK with full rights.

ANY HELP OR RECOMENDATION OUT THERE??

I updated my server today with all pending update and after reboot I was unable to connect to SQL server. Prior to reboot I've also enabled the firewall but now it's disabled again and server is after another reboot. When I try to connect locally using

sqlcmd -S localhost

I get error:

Respected Experts,

I have just joined a new company.

We have created a replicated database to store the replicated data from MS power Bi. When we are executing our stored procedure to get last 12 months data we are getting this error:

Executed as user: abcserver\useradmin. Stored Procedure  failed with error:TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 50000)  OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server"BI-Server" returned message "Communication link failure". [SQLSTATE 01000](Error 7412).  The step failed.

The main points of consideration are:

• Last week It was working perfectly for 12 months data. Just stopped 3 days before.
• Currently it is successfully working for 3 months data. But we are unable to get more then that.
• There is not any dramatic change in the database records(means row count)

Can you please guide me what can be the cause for this error. Please help.

Thanks

The problem:

I'm getting this error:Cannot connect to sb2\sqlexpress.

Hi comunity:

hi all 

Kindly advise us how to solved this issue in sql 2014 express edition 

SQL Server 2014 Express 64bit auto identity column value jump issue

I had to write a SP to generate a string with the combination of Country(7 chars)+Province(1 char) + numeric number starts from 01. for eg: JAMAICAK01 where JAMAICA(Country),K(Province) and 01 is the numeric number that gets incremented by 1 for each transaction. The issue I have here is the generated string length max is 10,can be lesser than 10 but not >10.It should be handled in a way with certain rules like 1. the combination don't exist 2. When the numeric unit changes from tens to hundreds making the string length >10, I need to remove the right chars for eg JAMAICAKKK10 to JAMAICAK10 from the right to make the total max length 10.

In my code below I tried to check if the combination exists and I get the max of it and do the numeric increment from the last one. think it can be done in a better way.

       Declare @Province char(2)
       Declare @Country varchar(10)
       declare @CounProv varchar(10)
       Declare @SimilarCounPRov varchar(max) = '';
       declare @FinalString nvarchar(12)
       declare @s varchar(50)
       declare @s1 varchar(50)
       declare @s2 varchar(50)

       Set @Province = LEFT('KINGSTON', 1)           
       Set @Country = LEFT('JAMAICA', 7)   

       Set @CounProv = @Country+@Province

       Select @SimilarCounPRov = MAX(field1) from dbo.table where field1  
       LIKE '%JAMAICAK%' 

       if @SimilarCounPRov IS NOT NULL 
   BEGIN
   Set @s = (select fn_AlphaOnly('%JAMAICAK99%')) -- returns JAMAICAK

   Set @s1 = (select fn_NumericOnly('%JAMAICAK99%'))  -- returns 199

   set @s2= @s1 +1   -- increment by 1

   if len(@FinalString) > 10

Hi,

When I try to install sql server 2017 express, I get this error message consistently:

Any ideas?



good night and good luck

When we run delete * from xxxx where smsuid=xxxx.xxx how does the line gets auto commited to the database when delete is a dml command

And what happens in case i write a query delete from xxxxx on the cas and close the sql mgmt studio when the query is in progress.do all rows in the table gets deleted. The database is running on sql managment studio 2016

 Hey all,

 I, by accident, installed SQL Server 2016 (SQLServer2016-SSEI-Expr.exe), can I just use one of the entries in the add/remove programs to remove it? (PS: I need the Local Database for an app I use)

 If so which one:

OR can I just leave it installed without any issues? It does run and uses about 500mb of RAM, so I would like to use one less process, BUT if it's better to just keep it installed than I will just have to live with it.

thanks for any help

I tried to install mssql express 2014 onto windows 10. the install failed during rules check as .net 3.5 was not enabled.
