Could you please advise how that can be done?

Extracting SQL server event log

Do the DMV views provide the same info as "SQL Profiler" does?
I am very familiar with running SQL Profiler with a set of "minimally invasive" template options and the info is extremely useful.
I am not as familar with the content of the results from running the DMV queries.
Can the DMV views provide the same info as "SQL Profiler" does?

What is "commercial data"?
I'm not sure the best place to ask this so I figured I'd ask here. I work in a large shop with 100s of SQL Servers mostly running Enterprise Edition. I'd like to convert many of the non-production (development, acceptance testing, etc) to Developer Edition. I've come across this statement in the licensing guide though and cant get a clear answer from anyone as to what it means...
"SQL Server Developer Edition may not be used in a production environmentor with commercial data"
"Production environment" is pretty self-explanatory but what exactly is "commercial data"? For example if in a production environment I encounter an application bug or performance issue that I can only reproduce with data from the production environment, am I not allowed to copy the production data to a server running Developer Edition for debugging purposes?
Is there a difference between "production" data and "commercial" data? Is commercial data perhaps data that I purchased - say marketing data - that I want to perform analysis on? That's not the sort of thing I want to do with DE. I simply want to troubleshoot on a non-production server using production data.

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to update my Nortridge (NLS) Program and their customer support is unable to help me with creating a test database on my SQL server. I was able to create a new, blank database but am not able to backup my NLS database and restore it to the blank database.
It looks like it is backing up but when I go to select the file to restore it it does not show a .bak file.
Can anyone help me with this?

SQL Server 2016 log file not shrinking
I have an SQL Server 2016 database set to full recovery mode which is ~400Mb however the log is almost 30Gb. Whether I perform a full backup in SSMS or using tsql or manually try to shrink it, it wont lower in size. It shows 99% available free space when
attempting to shrink.
There are no open transactions reported by DBCC OPENTRAN, however the application that accesses the database has a Window service which when stopped allows the log file to be flushed.
What can I report through SQL Server that may indicate what the developer has done causes this?
Thanks.

SQL Server 16 Linked Server intermittent connection errors
I have set up a linked server connection to import excel 2016 file 64 bit sheets.
This has been running with no problems for 1 1/2 years. I can run the script repeatedly for approx 5 minutes then I get error messages as below:
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 46
The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "lkExcelImport" reported an error. The provider reported an unexpected catastrophic failure.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 46
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "lkExcelImport".
I have one linked server to another sql server DB and this works continually.
I have to restart the server 1 or more times to reestablish the connection. Once the connection is working I test and can rerun the script for about 5 minutes before it stops again.
There have been no changes to the scripts or the excel spreadsheets.

Merge on temporal table fails with Attempting to set a non-NULL-able column's value to NULL
Workflow:
- Create temporal table with default history table in a data warehouse
- Create an index on the history table
- Perform merge statements against the temporal table on an hourly basis
- Notice sometimes the error will produce: Attempting to set a non-NULL-able column's value to NULL
- Drop the index from the history table
- Perform the merge with the same data set, and it will be successful
- Recreate the index on the history table
- Randomly the error will generate again, repeat steps 5 thru 7
On April 29th I created a new temporal table named [dbo].[FactPersonnelScheduleDetails_Current] with a default history table named [History].[FactPersonnelScheduleDetails_Current].
This table is in a data warehouse that performs several merge statements on an hourly basis.
Twice now since implementing this table 4 days ago, the merge transaction has failed with the following error: "Attempting to set a non-NULL-able column's value to NULL"
The History table has one user-defined index. As soon as I drop that index, I can the successfully complete the merge.
Any suggestions why the MERGE is failing when I have a user defined index created on the history table, but works when I remove the user defined index?

Unable to view Server Properites or SQL Server Log
2 instances of Microsoft SQL Server 2014 (SP3-GDR) (KB4505218) - 12.0.6108.1 (X64) May 29 2019 20:05:27 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Express Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.2 <X64> (Build 9200: ) (Hypervisor)
Running on Windows Server 2012 Standard on VM.
SQL Server installed on OS drive (C); master, model, temp DB all on E drive and user databases on F drive.
Something happened the other night preventing both instances from running. I believe during an automatic update.
Application log error indicated 'Cannot recover the master database...'.
The entire C drive was restored from backup and everything is working again except for a couple of items.
Open SSMS (log in as sa) right click on the server node, click on properties presents the following
The links in the details, of course, are useless.
Viewing properties for databases works fine. The problem is only for the server properties.
Also, on the SQL Server Logs node, there are no logs available.
If I run sp_readerrorlog, the results display the log entries, so logging is working.
Both issues occur for both instances of SS.
It is not an SSMS issue as when I connect remotely, both issues persist.
I've searched, but haven't found any info on either issue. I'm thinking to try a repair of the SS install, but thought I would post here first.
Anyone have any suggestions on solving these issues?

Table Partitioning Switching
Hi All,
Can we switch the Nth partition to a non partitioned table , so that we can truncate this or archive this data later.
Ex: If I have Daily partitions on a SQL table,
On Day1, One partition will be created with Split Range.
On Day 2, Split Range will create another day partition
On Day 3, before creating the Day3 partition, I have to Switch the Day1 partition to a non partition table and just maintain 2 partitions any time in my target (that is Current Day and Previous Day)
Here, How can we identity Getdate()-2 partition to SWITCH to a non partitioned table?
ALTERTABLE Source SWITCHPARTITION1TO Target, Here how can we set Parititon = Getdate()-2.
Thanks in advance.
