SQL Server 2022 Express Install Issues
I am a non tech savvy student trying to install SQL Server 2022 Express for class and I am running into issues, looking for help. It gets all the way through the install process and gives me "Unable to install SQL Server (setup.exe) Exit code (Decimal): -2061893606Error description: Wait in the Database Engine recovery handle Failed. Check the SQL Server error log for potential causes" and C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\160\Setup Bootstrap\Log\20250903_162628 I have fully uninstalled anything related to SQL and reinstalled multiple times with no success. I reset windows, no luck. Any help would be appreciated.
How to resolve issue of custom Audit log table containing incorrect data?
We have created a parent table, child table & Audit log table in SQL Server database. For one parent record, there are multiple child records. When a child record in updated, a Stored Procedure is called in which a few fields of all the child records are updated that are associated with the parent record. We have 'for insert/for update' triggers created on the child table in SQL Server which inserts the new/updated child record into a custom Audit log table. The 'for update' trigger for the child table uses mapping based on the parent record id for inserted & deleted pseudo tables. This 'for update' trigger adds into Audit log table any changes done to the child record fields except the few fields that are updated using the Stored Procedure. We have noticed a pattern in the Audit log table which reoccurs again & again only in Production env. We are unable to reproduce this issue in Non-Production envs. After about 25 to 30 correct child records for several parent records are added in the Audit log table that the user had updated in the child table, several old child records for a parent record also get added into the Audit log table which were not updated in the child table by the user. Please let us know what is the root cause & resolution of this issue.
To call a VBA script from a T-SQL procedure
I have the following (unusual) task: I need my T-SQL procedure to somehow call a VBA script. The VBA should copy all content of a certain sheet of an input Excel file into a certain sheet of an output Excel file. The physical full path of the input Excel file is available only in the T-SQL procedure. Therefore, the procedure should somehow pass the file path into the VBA script. How can I do that?Sql Server complexity
For someone who has worked in PostgreSQL env for a very long time, learning the ropes of Sql server looks like some task. I practice with SSMS everyday, creating DB objects - schemas, tables, views, indexes, triggers, sequences, users, roles. And have noticed that Sql server code is more verbose, complex and not as straightforward as PostgreSQL. The use of 'stored procedures' for modifying column/table name and 'severity level' and 'state number' parameters for triggers was really topsy-turvy. I guess, it will take some time before I get used to the 'proprietary' way of doing things.

SERVERPROPERTY('IsClustered') does not return the correct value in a cluster configuration
Hi all! I'm testing some t-sql SQL properties for a data collection project and I got a strange case with the query below: SELECT SERVERPROPERTY(''MachineName') AS [MachineName], SERVERPROPERTY('ServerName') AS [ServerName], SERVERPROPERTY('InstanceName') AS [Instance], SERVERPROPERTY('IsClustered') AS [IsClustered], SERVERPROPERTY('ComputerNamePhysicalNetBIOS') AS [ComputerNamePhysicalNetBIOS], SERVERPROPERTY('Edition') AS [Edition] I have two test instances of SQL Server 2019. They both belong to a cluster without shared storage, as the availability groups allow it: SQLAGCLU I don't understand why the query is returning "incorrect" properties. I expected them to have the value 1 for the "IsClustered" column. From the query that I use, I have no idea witch SQL instance are in a cluster... Some one can give a feedback about it?

What is the minimum version of Microsoft SQL Server that supports R2DBC?
I’m working on a Spring Boot WebFlux project and I’m planning to use R2DBC to interact with Microsoft SQL Server. However, I’m having difficulty finding clear information on which version of SQL Server supports R2DBC. Most of the resources I find seem to focus on Azure SQL Database, but I’m specifically interested in on-premises Microsoft SQL Server. Can anyone confirm what the minimum version of SQL Server that supports R2DBC is?
