How to add SQL Server Analysis Services instance? - sql

I have installed SQL Server with SQL Server management, but when I want to go to the Analysis server instance, there is no one.
I checked the SQL Server management but there is no Analysis Services process to enable.
I went to the SQL Server 2019 setup to add the Analysis server feature but it's not showing to install.
What can I do?

Solved.
I had to do a clean install.

The screen shot in this link shows "Analysis services"
But, since it is missing for you, I am guessing, you have selected an different edition of SQL Server 2019 setup (Web edition, may be ?).
If you using it as Developer, try the developer edition of SQL 2019 setup.

How to create a non-SQLEXPRESS instance for SQL Server 2012 developer edition

After install I wanted to practice creating SQL Server Agent jobs, I know that you cannot do this on a SQL Server Express instance, so I'm wondering with my developer edition if it's possible to create a non-SQL Server Express instance, and if so how, thanks.
Please check following tutorial which shows SQL Server 2016 installation step by step
In general for all SQL Server versions the setup procedure is very similar.
You can exclude installing components like Reporting Services, Integration Services, Analysis Services and other optional components if you want to make the setup process simple
What you should install is Database Engine Services! You can exclude the other features under Database Engine if you check the screenshot I shared in the article.
And what is important is the Management Tools that you can use to connect db instance and execute queries, etc.
Although the above tutorial shares the download link, you can also refer to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-sql-server-2016 for SQL Server 2014 and 2012 download links as well
So I realized that I only had SQL Server 2012 Express edition by using:
SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('EDITION')
Using the link provided by Eralper I installed SQL Server 2014 developer edition and now have two instances of SQL Server, one is the the express for 2012, the other is the 2014 developer edition. Once I log in to the named instance I can finally see of course the SQL Server Agent node at the bottom.
Thanks everyone for all the help and sorry for the confusion.

Why there isn't any SQL Server services in SQL Server Configuration Manager?

I have not connecting to SQL Server Management Studio. It shows me an error message like in 2nd picture. So, I could not connect to my local SQL Server 2012. How can I do it? Thanks in advance.
You just installed the management studio. You need to install SQl server. Here you need to install Sql Server and then Sql management studio.
Try . instead of Hello and see if that connects. If not, then you will have to install a new db instance because you don't have one.
Running the Repair Wizard from the SQL Server Installation Center has solved several of my connection issues when I've received errors connecting to localhost.
Choose Maintenance from the menu on the left, then choose Repair:
Two item have to be installed
SQL Server 2012 Management Studio Express
SQL Server 2012 Express
I had only installed only item 1, for this reason i am not getting any database in windows
authentication mode.
After then by the help of #marc_s, #CoOl and #Gin Uchiha i have solved my problem
by installing item 2.
And Thanks everyone for responding my question.

After installing SQL Server 2014 Express can't find local db

I have downloaded and installed SQL Server 2014 Express
(from this site: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/products/sql-server-editions/sql-server-express.aspx#Installation_Options).
The problem is that I can't connect/find my local DB server, and I can't develop DB on my local PC. How can I reach my local server?
My system consists of Windows 8.1 (no Pro or Enterprise editions) 64 bits
Checking the configuration of SQL Server with SQL Server 2014 Configuration Manager tool, I see an empty list selecting "SQL Server Services" from the tree at the left. Below you can find a screenshot.
In the Windows Services list, there is just only one service: "SQL Server VSS Writer"
EDIT
My installation window of SQL Server 2014 is the following:
Most probably, you didn't install any SQL Server Engine service. If no SQL Server engine is installed, no service will appear in the SQL Server Configuration Manager tool. Consider that the packages SQLManagementStudio_Architecture_Language.exe and SQLEXPR_Architecture_Language.exe, available in the Microsoft site contain, respectively only the Management Studio GUI Tools and the SQL Server engine.
If you want to have a full featured SQL Server installation, with the database engine and Management Studio, download the installer file of SQL Server with Advanced Services.
Moreover, to have a sample database in order to perform some local tests, use the Adventure Works database.
Considering the package of SQL Server with Advanced Services, at the beginning at the installation you should see something like this (the screenshot below is about SQL Server 2008 Express, but the feature selection is very similar). The checkbox next to "Database Engine Services" must be checked. In the next steps, you will be able to configure the instance settings and other options.
Execute again the installation process and select the database engine services in the feature selection step. At the end of the installation, you should be able to see the SQL Server services in the SQL Server Configuration Manager.
I downloaded a different installer "SQL Server 2014 Express with Advanced Services" and found Instance Features in it. Thanks for Alberto Solano's answer, it was really helpful.
My first installer was "SQL Server 2014 Express". It installed only SQL Management Studio and tools without Instance features. After installation "SQL Server 2014 Express with Advanced Services" my LocalDB is now alive!!!
I have noticed that after installation of SQL server 2012 express on Windows 10 you must install ENU\x64\SqlLocalDB.MSI from official Microsoft download site. After that, you could run SqlLocalDB.exe.
Just download and install LocalDB 64BIT\SqlLocalDB.msi can also solve this problem. You don't really need to uninstall and reinstall SQL Server 2014 Express with Advanced Services.
Also, if you just installed localDB, you won't see the instance in the configuration manager. You would need to initiate it first, and then connect to it using server name (localdb)\mssqllocaldb.

I faced the same issue. Just download and install the SQL Server suite from the following link :http://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=42299
restart your SSMS and you should be able to "Register Local Servers" via right-click on "Local Servers Groups", select "tasks", click "register local servers"

SQL Server 2014 - No services installed in SQL Configuration Manager

I have Installed Microsoft® SQL Server® 2014 Express , but I can't find SQL Server Services to run it in the "SQL Server Configuration Manager", so I can't connect to SQL server.
It's a problem because when I launch Sql Server Management Studio and that I try to connect me on the database server with server name "(local)", "localhost", "SQLEXPRESS",(local)/SQLEXPRESS, it doesn't work
I've seen in services.msc and I saw "SQL Server VSS Writer" launched automatically.
Do you have a solution ?
Thank you
If you download from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42299, make sure use SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe or SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe. SQLManagementStudio_x86_FRA.exe does not contains database engine.
I want to think that I had the same issue. When this happened to me, I went to the Configuration Manager only to learn that I had no Services whatsoever. I solved it by installing the SQL Server Express with with Advanced Services version from Microsoft.
I don't know whether you do need all its functionality, though. But what I do know is that it will solve your issue.
The problem is actually, I am pretty sure, that you have installed the Management Studio, not the Database Engine itself. You have to install the Database Engine. The response #Edward gave will lead you to the Database Engine for SQL Server Express 2014, that will do the trick.
I hope this helps to clarify what the problem was.

Can SQL Server Express be used to effectively administrate a SQL Server Standard/Enterprise installation?

We have a number of MS SQL Server 2005 installations (both Standard and Enterprise editions) on our webservers. From time to time I need to administrate them from home. Right now I'm using Remote Desktop to connect to my work machine, but I'd prefer to install SQL Server Management Studio on my home machine so that I can work more efficiently. I don't have a spare license, so I was wondering... if I installed MS SQL Server 2005 Express on my home machine, could I use it to effectively administrate the higher-end installations on our servers?
See this question:
What's the difference between SQL Server Management Studio and the Express edition?
Also, if you have any trouble doing anything from Managment Studio Express, there are third-party tools out there that have no trouble connecting to SQL Server.
Personally, I've noticed a few things missing out of the box:
Import/Export
Activity Monitor
Job monitor
However, the question I linked to indicated you may be able to restore most of that for use when you connect to a full sql server edition.
If you do a client tools only install of the standard edition (ie. just SSMS) and don't install the database, agent, etc. then I'm pretty sure you don't need another license and won't be violating the EULA. If you want a full install the SQL Server developer edition is only $49 and comes with everything.

I'm not sure if you can create backup schedules and maintenance plans in Management Studio Express.
