SQL Server 2016 Developers Edition Installation Last Update: 1/19/2018

Transcription

1 Introduction and Contents These instructions are primarily for students in HIM 6217 in the Health Management and Informatics Department at the University of Central Florida. They cover two of the five software installations needed for this class. These are: 1. Microsoft Visio SQL Server 2016 Developers Edition* 3. SQL Server Management Studio* 4. Visual Studio 5. Visual Studio s Report Design tools These instructions cover items 2 & 3 above. These instructions are current as of January Regardless of which product you are installing watch for explicit version information from me. Some values, such as the available service pack, may change without necessitating a redo of the instructions. Installing SQL Server Obtaining the Software You will obtain SQL Server from your account at the HMI Department s subscription at the Microsoft Imagine check-out store. In the store search for SQL Server or otherwise find the icon for SQL Server 2016 You will see a multitude of versions available. Select the SLQ Server 2016 Developer with Service Pack 1 (unless instructed to get a later SP). Download and Prepare the ISO File Complete the checkout and download process and pay attention to where your software goes. By default the software will go in your Downloads folder. This will result in an.iso file such as this one: Dr. L. West, HMI Dept, UCF LWEST@UCF.EDU 1

2 Specific values may be different depending on the version number. This file is a disk image file that is intended to be written directly to a DVD disk which can then be used to install your software. Of course this option requires a writable DVD drive. The options available to you vary widely depending on your hardware configuration and software options included with your computer. These options generally include: 1. Write the file to a DVD disk. This is my preferred approach as you will then have the disk available for reinstallation if necessary. Also, as of this writing, other members of your class (e.g., project team) can freely install software from your copy of the disk if they are eligible to obtain the software on their own. Caution: You must use a disk image writer to create the disk, copying the single.iso file will not result in an installable disk. This means you need this software as well. 2. You may have a utility to mount the disk image as a virtual DVD drive on your computer s hard drive. If I right-click the.iso file in my version of Windows 10 I actually get three different ways to do this. The top one comes with windows (and will execute if you double-click the.iso file) while the other two came with other software on my machine. If you choose this option you can remove the virtual drive by right-clicking it and selecting Eject. See for more information. 3. There is software to let you turn a USB thumb drive into an emulated DVD drive. I don t have much information on this option. Installing the Software Note: You will see a dialog similar to this at multiple times during the installation (and even while using SQL Server). I wasn t able to capture these during my install but whenever you see this select Yes. Dr. L. West, HMI Dept, UCF LWEST@UCF.EDU 2

3 Start the install by finding setup.exe on your physical or virtual DVD drive. Either double-click it or rightclick and select Run Setup.exe will launch the SQL Server Installation Center. Be sure that Planning is selected in the left panel. Then click the System Configuration Checker. If you are lucky you will get the dialog below indicating that you have no problems. If you are notified of problems you will need to look at them and determine if they indicate inadequate hardware resources, Dr. L. West, HMI Dept, UCF 3

4 if you can correct something, or if you need more help. If the latter contact the designated support resource(s) identified for your class. When you have passed your configuration check you will be returned to the Installation Center. Select Installation in the left pane and then the top entry as shown below, New SQL Server stand-alone installation or add features to an existing installation. As subsequent screens appear make the selections indicated or just click Next if no options are asked for. Dr. L. West, HMI Dept, UCF 4

6 Dr. L. West, HMI Dept, UCF 6

7 Feature Selection: This requires you to make selections in the scrolling Features list in the middle of the dialog. Notice that it takes me two images to show you all options. I strongly recommend against checking any other options until after the course is over. Second shot of the scrolling Features list Dr. L. West, HMI Dept, UCF LWEST@UCF.EDU 7

8 Instance Configuration Your screen should look a little different from mine. You can see in the lower part that there is information in the Installed instances list. This is because I have SQL 2012 installed on my computer and want to keep it. 1. If you have information in the Installed instances area you should make note of it. Using the Windows Snipping Tool to save a copy would not be unreasonable. 2. Select Named Instance at the top 3. Give your server a name with no spaces. You can use my name if you want or something more personal such as JoesSQL. Dr. L. West, HMI Dept, UCF LWEST@UCF.EDU 8

9 Make all of the settings illustrated on the Server Configuration screen. Dr. L. West, HMI Dept, UCF 9

10 On the Database Engine Configuration you must, Must, MUST 1. Select Windows authentication mode as indicated 2. Click the Add Current User button (which will fill in the entry for the SQL Server Administrators list. Important: Take note of the value that goes in the administrators list after clicking the Add Current User button. You will need this for an important setting in Configuration Manager later. Dr. L. West, HMI Dept, UCF 10

11 Continue making the indicated selections on the following screens and clicking Next. Dr. L. West, HMI Dept, UCF 11

13 Dr. L. West, HMI Dept, UCF 13

14 When installation progress is complete you will need to restart your computer. This is not optional. You must do it now. If you get errors in the list you will need to get help on them. Otherwise you are finished with the SQL Server DB engine. Dr. L. West, HMI Dept, UCF 14

15 Install SQL Server Management Studio SQL Server Management Studio is the visual interface that you use to talk to SQL Server. (SQL Server is a server that has only the most minimal user interface capability. All of our most important tasks such as creating databases and writing queries will be done through SQL Server Management Studio.) If you are not already there after installing SQL Server return to the Installation Center. Double-click Setup.exe from the disk if you need to. On the Installation menu select Install SQL Server Management Tools Dr. L. West, HMI Dept, UCF LWEST@UCF.EDU 15

16 You will be taken to a Microsoft web site where you will download the software. On this page scroll down until you find the Download option below. Be sure you get Version 17. If you see a minor version greater than the 17.4 shown below (e.b., 17.5) that is OK. Dr. L. West, HMI Dept, UCF LWEST@UCF.EDU 16

17 Again, by default your software will end up in your Downloads folder. Look for SSMS-Setup.ENU.exe. Dr. L. West, HMI Dept, UCF 17

18 Double-click the SSMS-Setup-ENU.exe file to launch the installation. Note: I had to restart my computer after the first attempt and afterward nothing happened. I doubleclicked the.exe a second time and installation continued. After SQLS MS installed it will be added to your Windows Start menu, both in Recently Added and it may also be under a Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Tools folder in the Start menu. Big Hint: Using SQL Server will be the subject of video instruction but before completing installation I have an important usability hint for you. You will regularly need access to two different tools, both of which were installed as part of the process above. I strongly recommend that you find the Management Dr. L. West, HMI Dept, UCF LWEST@UCF.EDU 18

19 Studio (right illustration below) and the Configuration Manager (left illustration) and pin them to the Start menu or even better (in my opinion it is what I do) pin them to the task bar. That is it. If you are lucky you will not have had any problems. If you do have problems you should get help immediately. See the help resources in the course information. Important: This installation process may install two different Configuration Managers, one tagged as 2016 and one as It is important that you only work with the 2016 version. The 2017 version will cause a Cannot connect to WMI provider error when you try to start Configuration Manager (see the instructional video). Dr. L. West, HMI Dept, UCF LWEST@UCF.EDU 19
