Hi,
I'm trying to migrate from SQL 2008 to SQL 2012 (and also from windows server 2008 R2 to windows server 2012) in our SharePoint Foundation 2010 farm. We can run everything except Search Service, apparently because it is trying to use SQL Native Client 10 (SQLNCLI10) - but SQL 2012 runs on SQLNCLI11. See error logs from ULS by Search Service below text.
Within the sp2 service pack information for SharePoint Foundation 2010, it is stated that MSSQL 2012 is supported. So, my question is, if it is possible to change connection string for Search Service to use SQLNCLI11? Or if there is another solution to this.
Relevant part of ULS log:

Per my research, there is Microsoft documentation indicates that how to change connection string for search service application to use SQLNCLI11
I suggest you create a new search service application to test whether search works well.

Hi,
no resolution yet. Connection string can be found registry, but it is just "farm" connection string and you cannot change "provider" property. I'm thinking though, that SQLNCLI10 is not the root cause. Other things are working fine, like browsing content on sites, cetral admin, etc. It is just Search serivces that are having moods.
Unfortunately, we could not rebuild current production server. It is too risky and we would like to avoid triggering business continuity management processes by requesting server recovery from backup. So, we have to keep it running on old database hosted on win 2008 r2 server and mssql 2008, for now.
There seem to be too many variables, including the fact that this new database server is in different domain. We are waiting for new application server to be prepared (in the same domain as new database server) which will put application and database servers into same datacenter segment and on the same operating system version. In the meantime, we plan to try to build new farm using development server and connect it to this new 2012 database server to see if it is a configuration problem or a "feature" ;-)
Btw. On SPF there are limited options to search service configuration and management compared to SharePoint Server version - which uses enterprise search service.
Yes, SharePoint Server has more features than SharePoint Foundation, SharePoint Server is recommended to use.
If there is any update, you could update the thread.
