Rated 1 Stars (out of 5) - Dreadful... Needlessly complicated. Should be distributed with SQL Server Setup anyway. Single machine with one instance of SQLExpress. AW setup could not find my instance. Finally turned on TCP/IP, NamedPipes, and SQL Browser (all defaulted to disabled...) Then AW Setup saw my instance. Could not get full text search enabled (not available as a feature on my downloaded installation).... Hideous

Commented Issue: Issue with [HumanResources].[vEmployeeDepartment] [7427]

SharePointInf — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 00:01:19 GMT

In the 2008 x64 distro of AWOLTP, theres a view named "[HumanResources].[vEmployeeDepartment]" The where clause is only correct at midnight local time. It should really be as follows:

WHERE CAST(GETDATE() AS DATE) BETWEEN edh.[StartDate] AND ISNULL(edh.[EndDate], GETDATE());
Comments: ** Comment from web user: SharePointInf **

Excellent observation and solution. I was going to troubleshoot it myself but I saw that you had already solved it. Thank you.

Migration Notes

Introduction

Scripting the AdventureWorks database community sample database with the default scripting options generates a script that when executed against SQL Azure without modification will not work. The option to script objects for the SQL Azure database engine type eleviates this issue, but it helps to know what changes were made to the script to make it "Azure Compatible". Thus, the Full AdventureWorks2012 download on this page was scripted for the SQL Server 2008R2 database engine and the following changes were applied to the script to allow the script to run successfully on SQL Azure:

Script Options

Objects Included in Script Generation
- Tables
- Views
- Stored Procedures
- User-Defined Fuctions
- User-Defined Data Types
- Schemas

Objects Excluded in Script Generation
- DDL Triggers
- Full Text Catalog
- XML Schema Collections

Syntax Adjustments

The following options, statements, and T-SQL references were removed from the script to enable it to run successfully in SQL Azure:

Removed all ON PRIMARY options
Removed all PAD_INDEX options
Removed all ALLOWROWLOCKS options
Removed all ALLOWPAGELOCKS options
Removed all SORTINTEMPDB options
Removed all CREATE PRIMARY XML INDEX statements
Removed all references to XML schema collections on XML data type columns
Removed all TEXTIMAGE_ON options
Removed all ROWGUIDCOL identifier on UniqueIdentifier column data types
Removed all NOT FOR REPLICATION option from tables and stored procedures
On the Production.ProductProductPhoto table, changed: PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED to PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (every table needs a clustered index).
Excluded the stored procedure uspSearchCandidateResumes as it references the unsupported functions FREETEXTTABLE and CONTAINSTABLE.
Excluded the view vAdditionalContactInfo. The XQuery method value() was generating an compile error. This is under investigation.

So the familiar AdventureWorks community sample database scripts will not work if executed against SQL Azure without modification. Thus, in keeping with the AdventureWorks tradition, the new addition of the AdventureWorks2012 Full database to CodePlex contains the full version of the AdventureWorks2012 database along with an AdventureWorks samples database that is scaled-out using SQL Azure Federations.

AdventureWorks Community Samples Databases for SQL Azure February 14, 2012

Introduction

Cloud computing on the Azure platform offers the opportunity to easily add more data and compute capacity on the fly as business needs vary over time. SQL Azure is the relational data store for the Azure platform. Although SQL Server and SQL Azure both communicate with clients via TDS, there are significant differences between what SQL Server supports and SQL Azure supports. So the familiar AdventureWorks community sample database scripts will not work if executed against SQL Azure without modification. Thus, in keeping with the AdventureWorks tradition, the new addition of the AdventureWorks2012 Full database to CodePlex contains the full version of the AdventureWorks2012 database along with an AdventureWorks samples database that is scaled-out using SQL Azure Federations.

The previous install of the AdventureWorks data warehouse and the AdventureWorks Light (LT) databases for SQL Azure are still available to be downloaded.

Prerequisites

In order to install the AdventureWorks community sample databases into SQL Azure servers you will need the following:

A SQL Azure server at http://sql.azure.com/.
Enough database quota to install one or both databases depending on your requirements. There is currently a limit of 150 databases per project which can be lifted with a credit check.
.NET Framework 4.0 which is available for free at MSDN.
Ensure that you have configured your SQL Azure Firewall to allow a connection to your SQL Azure server from your IP address.

SQL Server is not required in order to install the sample databases. However SQL Server Management Studio of SQL Server 2008R2 may be helpful for browsing and exploring SQL Azure databases.

Installation

If you have not already done so, download and extract the files from the zip file containing the AdventureWorks community sample databases for SQL Azure from CodePlex.

To install the SQL Azure version of the AdventureWorks2012 database for SQL Azure perform the following steps:

Delete any previous AdventureWorks2012 sample database.
Start a command prompt window with Administrator privileges.
CD to the directory where the zip file was extracted.
CD to the AdventureWorks\ directory.
Type the following:

CreateAdventureWorksForSQLAzure.cmd servername username password

For example, if the assigned SQL Azure server is named b1gl33p, the administrator user name is Fred, and the password is Secret, the following would be typed:

CreateAdventureWorksForSQLAzure.cmd b1gl33p.database.windows.net Fred@b1gl33p Secret

The script will create the database, install the schema, and populate the database with sample data.

To install the SQL Azure Federated version of the AdventureWorks2012 sample database perform the following steps:

Delete any previous AdventureWorks2012_Fed sample databases.
Start a command prompt window with Administrator privileges.
CD to the directory where the zip file was extracted.
CD to the AdventureWorks_Federated\ directory.
Type the following:

CreateAdventureWorksForSQLAzureFed.cmd servername username password_

For example, if the assigned SQL Azure server is named b1gl33p, the administrator user name is Fred, and the password is Secret, the following would be typed:

CreateAdventureWorksForSQLAzure_Fed.cmd b1gl33p.database.windows.net Fred@b1gl33p Secret

The script will create the database, install the schema, and populate the database with sample data.
