SSMS 21/22 Error Upload BACPAC file to Azure Storage
Hello All In my SSMS 20, I can use "Export Data-tier Application" to export an BACPAC file of Azure SQL database and upload to Azure storage in the same machine, the SSMS 21 gives error message when doing the same export, it created the BACPAC files but failed on the last step, "Uploading BACPAC file to Microsoft Azure Storage", The error message is "Could not load file or assembly 'System.IO.Hashing, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. (Azure.Storage.Blobs)" I tried the fresh installation of SSMS 21 in a brand-new machine (Windows 11), same issue, Can anyone advice? Thanks

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.

I reset windows, no luck. Any help would be appreciated.
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?
adding computed column to MS SQL
would like to check how to add a computed column with the following requirement Column value will be C-yyyyMMdd-0001 where date will be from the CreatedDate column in the same table. 0001 is an auto-incremental value based on when the record is inserted on the same day eg, the first record added on 23/08/2025, the computed column will be C-20250823-0001. As the table may already contain existing data, a SQL script may also be necessary to update this new column with the correct value.SQL Server - SOS_SCHEDULER_YIELD and Unbalanced NUMA Node Usage
Hi everyone, we've faced an unusual behavior on our SQL Server and would like to understand the cause and how to manage it properly. Our DB Server is a physical server with 64 cores (128 logical CPUs) and 4 NUMA nodes. During a peak in application requests/session, we noticed a significant increase in SOS_SCHEDULER_YIELD waits, with an unusual distribution of CPU load: only 2 NUMA nodes were heavily saturated, while the others remained underutilized. Our main questions are: At what point does SQL Server assign the execution NUMA node to a session/process? During connection establishment? When the statement starts executing? If processor affinity is left at its default setting (not manually configured at the instance level), what metrics can we monitor to better understand and manage this behavior? Any insights or experiences with similar cases would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
