Symptoms
Assume that you have a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 instance that uses a supplementary character collation on the server level. When you first start the Database Engine Tuning Advisor (DTA), you receive the following error message when the DTA connects to a SQL Server instance:
Could not find stored procedure ' msdb..sp_DTA_help_session '. (Microsoft SQL Server、error: 2812)
Note In a Japanese environment, the error message is as follows:
ストアド プロシージャ 'msdb..sp_DTA_help_session' が見つかりませんでした。 (Microsoft SQL Server、エラー: 2812)
Cause
This issue occurs because some large object (LOB) data types are used to create necessary data structures in some tables or stored procedures that are used by the DTA when it is first started. However, the use of LOB data types is precluded in the supplementary character collation.
