I am trying to install SQL Server Express 2014 on 64bit Windows 10 PC. I keep getting a WoW64 error saying that the installation needs a 32bit machine.

I am completely baffled

I need the password for my database so that I can put it on server site.  I am using SQL Server management 2017 and the password is already there and I did not put it there.  I tried to change it with sa and other ways and could not.

Thanks, Jen

Hi,

For no clear reason my SSMS (version 17.8.1) began displaying the below error message when connected to my SQL Express 2014 server and attempting to expand any of the tabs in the object explorer. This was also accompanied by SSMS not automatically displaying the connection dialog on start-up of the programme, not sure if significant but a noted change.

I have searched extensively for fixes (see links to forum discussions below) and have tried the following:

-Reinstall of SSMS (incl back releases in case issue with 17.8.1) and SQL 2014

-Repair of above

-Reinstall of .NET and VisualStudio components

In the below forums and a few others I saw there is various mention of looking up the .dll file 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SDK.SqlStudio' in given file paths. The specific versions of SQL/SSMS referred to in these discussions were different to mine but the files were always present in different locations to those specified. I found no complete discussion of successful fixes for similar problems.

I am using a company computer I have some suspicions that the errors could be related to permissions/user account management. If these issues could be at play then help understanding how permissons/user accounts need to be modified would be greatly appreciated.

Any help would be much appreciated as whilst the database is still functional via other apps that connect the inability to use SSMS is severely hampering work!

Thanks,

Tom

I've tried running:

DBCC PAGE(5,1,244825,2)
dbcc checktable('thistable') WITH ALL_ERRORMSGS, NO_INFOMSGS

The latter for each of the 3 tables involved in the query. None of these DBCC queries returned an error.

dbcc checkdb
CHECKDB found 0 allocation errors and 0 consistency errors in database 'HPRS'.
DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.

How can I fix this error?

(SQL Server 2014 Express)

I have installed SQL Server Express 2017. There are 21 windows users created by SQL Server and they are named like this: <instance name>[00 - 20]. Why does SQL Server instance need those users and can they be removed? The reason I am asking is because I have Windows Server 2019 Essential which allows only 25 users so if it is possible, I hope I can remove those users. 

Thanks!

Hi,

I would like to learn if SQL Server Express R2(2014) edition can restore a backup whose size is greater than 10GB? Reason for asking this question is that - SQL Server Express editions has limitation of holding 10GB per database?

Please help
Thank you

Hola.

Tengo varias bases de datos Sql2017 en un servidor Linux Ubunto 16.

Quisiera saber si el limite de 10GB es por el espacio en la carpeta DATA, o por el tamaño de cada base de datos.

Gracias, 

Claudio Chilomer

Hi,

I took database backup to 4 databases from SQL Server Express 2014 R2 last sunday(8/Sep). Database backup did not succeed as there was less disk space. We could observe below errors from windows event log and sql server log:

Server local connection provider has stopped listening on [ \\.\pipe\SQLLocal\MSSQLSERVER ] due to a failure. Error: 0xe8, state: 4. The server will automatically attempt to re-establish listening.

And Windows Server 2012 CPU utilization goes high up to 100% and stays for more than 15 minutes.

I need help to understand and resove this issue

Thank you

We are using ASP.NET and MS SQL Server Express 2014 R2 which hosts 20 databases in one our environment. In this environment in SQL Server Log, I would find frequent entries as given below:

Process ID xx was killed by hostname MACHINENAME<c/> host process ID mmmmm.

The list is huge and often. As I scanned through task scheduler, there exist a batch job which runs every 15 minutes and kills connections from SQL Server.

I am concerned of this bad practice and I sense either one of two things here 1) MS SQL Server is leaking connections (or) 2) MS SQL Server at one point may run out of connections?

Is there a way to find and prove my observations from my above concern? Basically I would like to learn and capture below points:

1. Total number of database connections currently in use per database
2. Total number of database connections available to use
3. Total number of database connections pending to be closed
4. Capture connections not successfully established due to connection exhaustion

Thanks

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:

We have 2 offices, users login to sql (same site as sql) using access and odbc work fine. Our remote office which is connected using a vpn tunnel (ipsec) has a real problem. When testing the odbc connector using sql server authentication works fine. When we open MS Access the odbc fails with Runtime error'3146' ODBC--call failed. 

Hello. I have downloaded  SqlServer Express with Advanced Services It is this executable:  SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU .

What I understood, reading the web documentation, is that I can run it and install SqlServer engine with some (and free) reporting tools. 

However in the main form there is the standard "install option", plus  a further option called "Install SQL Server Reporting Services", When I choose this option I download a package that is not free but it is a 180-day trial.

Do I miss something? Did I d anything wrong?

Thank you for your comments and suggestions.

I have to upgrade a version of 2014 SQL express to 2016 SQL Express and have never done it before and can't seem to find any good documentation.

Can anyone help??

Thanks.

I am attempting to upgrade an existing SQL Server 2012 Express database instance. I'm running the upgrade from the command line with the following command.

SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe /Action=Upgrade /UPDATEENABLED=False /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS=True /INSTANCENAME=MyServer /ENU=True /ISSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\\NetworkService"

It passes all the rule checks, but then while installing it gives a not too informative error- The Database Engine error log location is missing from the Parameters key.

From the log file -

Detailed results:
  Feature:                       Database Engine Services
  Status:                        Failed: see logs for details
  Reason for failure:            An error occurred during the setup process of the feature.
