As far as I know the setup is similar to the one which we did for SQL Server 2008 R2, there are some additions to the installation part. Before jumping into the installation lets see the add-ons related to installation.

Managed Service Account–SQL Server 2012

Written by VidhyaSagar. Posted in General

As you know there are so many security measures are taken during every release of SQL Server. This version of SQL Server will be using Managed Service account to run SQL server related services. In other terms earlier versions we used Local system account as service account for all SQL Server related services however in this version we be will using individual local accounts for all SQL server related services. In this case whatever application runs on local system are allowed to access SQL Server. So to overcome this MS team has started using managed service accounts in SQL Server.

Filetable is a new feature in SQL Server 2012 which allows application to access files that’s stored in disk via SQL Server, that’s the main function. In other words you can store files and directories to windows NTFS folders and these files can be accessed non transactional from application like regular file system.

Pagination in Result Set – OFFSET \ FETCH – SQL Server 2012

Written by VidhyaSagar. Posted in General

Today I’m going to discuss another new feature in SQL Server 2012. Pagination in result set is a new feature in SQL Server 2012. ORDER BY clause in SQL Server 2012 is enhanced with additional parameters that is OFFSET and FETCH. Using this parameter allows you to fetch data from a particular page from result set, you can also specify how many rows to retrieve. However an ORDER BY clause is compulsory to utilize this feature.

Thanks for the script. I had database with space between the names.

I modified to use square brackets:

FROM [?].sys.database_principals a
LEFT OUTER JOIN [?].sys.database_role_members

and

from [?].sys.database_permissions join [?].sys.sysusers U
on grantee_principal_id = uid join [?].sys.sysobjects

Thanks! That helped my a lot. But there’s a little mistake:
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS stands for “Latin1-General, case-insensitive, accent-sensitive [...]” therefore sort order 52.

If you want to set the sort order to 54 the correct collation would be “SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI” ;)

Hi Deepak,

Thanks for such a nice article.

You missed one thing to add in code:
@article = ‘all’,

Hence the script will be like this:
EXEC sp_addsubscription
@publication = ‘mypublication’,
@article = ‘ALL’,
@subscriber = ‘Subscriberservername’,
@destination_db = ‘mydestinationdbname’,
@reserved=’Internal’
