I'm a total noob when it comes to databases and SQL so bare with me. We have a program that uses SQL Express 2012 on the same machines as the program itself. The other day the user kicked their UPS and the station went down hard. When it came back up SQL could not start its services or connect to the SQLExpresss database. Uninstall and reinstall failed, in the end the station had to be rebuilt. It there anyway to help SQL be more stable in the event of a power failure on the station it is running on?
I'm looking for best practices for stations running SQL express to prevent this from happening again. Again, I'm a total noob and need lots of guidance.
