I'm unable to restore .bck files on SQL Server 2014 Express edition.
The .bck file size is more than 10 GB, I used SQL Server Management Studio to restore the backup files and error I'm getting is:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: CREATE DATABASE or ALTER DATABASE
failed because the resulting cumulative database size would exceed
your licensed limit of 10240 MB per database.
(Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended)
This is because SQL Server Express edition has limitations:
Maximum relational Database size - 10 GB
For more details see MSDN

whenever I try to restore a database I got an error message
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: CREATE DATABASE or ALTER DATABASE
failed because the resulting cumulative database size would exceed
your licensed limit of 10240 MB per database.
(Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended)
because I am using SQL server express edition and the database size is more than 10GB.
I have the backup file only and I do not have access to reduce the data files
BTW data files are 20GBs.
is there a solution for this?
SQL Server Developer Edition is a free, unlimited edition of SQL Server for Development and Test purposes. You can download it here.
Not with SQL Express. Sign up for a Visual Studio subscription (free) and you can get a fully functional copy of SQL Server.

I am using SQL Server2008 R2 and SQL Server2016.
I have Database of 500 GB.
My Question:
I have restored same database backup on both SQL server versions, but when I am going to take backup of that database on SQL server 2008 R2 backup size become 100 GB around but in SQL server 2016 it reached 350 GB arond.
Please suggest.
Dhaval,
Sounds to me like Backup compression is not enabled on your 2016 Instance.
The following will guide you in checking and enabling said feature if desired: view or configure the backup compression default server configuration option
I took a full backup of a SQL Server 2005 database, then restored it onto SQL Server 2008. I'm curious, was it a 2008 database at that point?
Anyways, I since did a full backup of it using SQL Server 2008 and now I have a machine with only SQL Server 2012 Express on it. When I try to restore from the backup file I get the following error:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
Restore of database 'CodeLib' failed. >(Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.RelationalEngineTasks)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The operating system returned the error '5(Access is denied.)' while attempting 'RestoreContainer::ValidateTargetForCreation' on 'D:\SQLdata\MSSQL10_50.SQLBESI\MSSQL\DATA\CodeLib.mdf'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended)
I ran SSMS as an Admin when I tried to restore it.
I want to test SQL Server 2014 In-Memory OLTP tables but I'm getting an error message when trying to create the filegroup.
ALTER DATABASE Test_DB ADD FILEGROUP Test_FG CONTAINS MEMORY_OPTIMIZED_DATA
FILEGROUP ... CONTAINS MEMORY_OPTIMIZED_DATA' failed because it is not
supported in the edition of this SQL Server instance
My database version is Microsoft SQL Server 2014 - 12.0.4100.1 (X64)
All the docs I'm reading are telling me this should be supported in SQL Server 2014, anybody have an ideas on what I've missed please?
Hey there are certain limitations in In-Memory OLTP of SQL server 2014.
This link lists them all, have a look.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn246937(v=sql.120).aspx
And the IN-Memory feature is not supported on Express edition of sql server 2014. Try Developer/SP1(service pack 1 - evaluation edition).
You can find the pre-reqs here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-IN/library/dn170449.aspx
I have a backup file taken from a SQL Server 2000 database and I'm trying to restore it to a 2008 database. However, I'm getting this error:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo) The media family on device 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Backup\customers.bak' is incorrectly formed. SQL Server cannot process this media family. RESTORE HEADERONLY is terminating abnormally. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 3241)
I am the one who originally took the backup (years ago). It was a hosted SQL Server. If I remember correctly, I got the backup using some sort of online "control panel"
SQL 2000 SP4 database can be upgraded on-the-fly to SQL 2008 (including restore-upgrade). See Version and Edition Upgrades. If you get that message most likely the media is corrupted.
In SQL Server 2008, follow these steps
Create New database with the same name as in SQL Server 2000
After writing database name, go to Options tab
In Compatibility Level dropdown select 'SQL Server 2000 (80)
After creating database, go to Task and select restore
After selecting restore resource go to options tab and select 'Overwrite the existing database (With Replace)
Your database will be restored
