Problem statement
I have installed SQL Server, but when I try to run: net start MSSQLSERVER on the command line, I get this error:
The service name is invalid. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2185
Note: proof that I installed SQL Server: https://gyazo.com/a0140b3da72feee8152d84042eee24c3

Also, I tried using sc sdshow MSSQLSERVER in both CMD and PowerShell (run and not run as Admin) but it fails because of this:
[SC] OpenService FAILED 1060: The specified service does not exist as an installed service
I know that I didn't rename the server to something else because I was never presented with the option to do so.
(Reposting my comment as an answer):
It sounds like your installation failed - or you didn’t select the database engine when you installed it. Re-run the installer.
You can review the installer setup logs to see if and why it failed: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/install-windows/view-and-read-sql-server-setup-log-files?view=sql-server-ver15
Look at %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\nnn\Setup Bootstrap\Log\Summary.txt.

I am unable to install SQL Server 2017 Developer Edition on Windows 10 Pro.
Below is the error which I keep getting even after troubleshooting steps that were taken by Google suggestions. Can somebody have a look and help me to proceed?
Error description: The MOF compiler could not connect with the WMI server. This is either because of a semantic error such as an incompatibility with the existing WMI repository or an actual error such as the failure of the WMI server to start.
Check out the solution here: mof compiler problem
Also, consider using a Docker Container instead of a native installation

I have MS SQL Server Management Studio installed on the server. It's 6.2.9200 version.
There is a new version of MS SQL Server Management Studio 6.3.9600.
How should I update the MS SQL Server Management Studio from 6.2.9200 to 6.3.9600? Shall simply install the .MSI and the studio updates to the latest version or should I take some kind of back-up for the 6.2.9200 before installing 6.3.9600?
As mentioned in the comments, SSMS is just a client tool that connects to the SQL server. SQL server Retains all the information including SA login and password.
You can remove, re-install the client tool without affecting any SQL Server or Database settings.
Note that You will need to re-enter the login and password (in your case SA login and Password) to connect to the database in your new SSMS client tool.

I am a complete beginner in Oracle Database.I have installed Oracle Database 11g R2 11.2.0.1.0 for Windows 7 64bit. I need Oracle SQL plus to run and execute sql queries.Please tell me which link to download and help me to install it and set up. I have searched many forums but could'nt find it.
Thanks in Advance.
sqlplus command line client comes with Oracle database installation package and installs by default on the same machine you installed Oracle. You can install Oracle client on any other client machine that will connect to the Oracle server. Oracle client will have network layer and utils to connect to oracle and sqlplus. You can also install a graphical client called SQL Developer - it's a Java based GUI client available as a separate download from Oracle website.

My new development pc is arriving tomorrow and I am assembling the software suite I will be installing on it.
Sadly SQL server is still a requirement, and I am installing the Sql 2012 Standard, as the Developer Version is a special version of the Sql Server Enterprise, which can be uncompatible in some cases.
So the question is:
How do I install SQL Server on a development pc in a whay that leaves minimal footprint on the computer, while still giving a fully usable environment for development?
The very minimum is to select Database Engine only during setup. If you use a the command line, select only SQLEngine feature. If you use the GUI setup, select only the Database Engine from the feature selection page. By installing Database Engine feature only you get the sqlservr.exe service,sqlcmd and bcp tools, network and service configuration applets... and not much else.
If you need other features, like SQL Server Management Studio, make sure you select those as well. Ditto for Replication, Fulltext, tools (eg. Profiler) etc etc.

Trying to install SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition on my laptop.
I keep getting an error about cannot write out the XML file.
SQL Server setup encountered the following error. There was an error
generating the XML document. Error code 0X84B10001
I am running the setup.exe as administrator of the box.
What can I do to get around this please?
I found the issue. I had no password on my computer. I finally found the sql server error log and it was giving more detail about a Cryptographic Exception doing something with the registry. I then added a password in, and now it's installed and working fine.
Crazy error, but I understand why you wouldn't want this situation.
Tried this and other fixes. Apparently this error message applies to many different problems. What worked for me was to create a new user with admin privileges. Login as that user, then install.
