Niels Berglund hits an annoying error after installing PolyBase on SQL Server 2019:
At MS Ignite in Orlando November 4 – 8, 2019, Microsoft announced the general availability of SQL Server 2019. At the same time, the SQL Server 2019 Developers Edition appeared as an MSDN download, and of course, I downloaded it and installed it on my dev box.
After the installation, I noticed that PolyBase did not start up correctly, and I saw dump files all over the place. After some investigation, I figured out what the issue was, and this blog post describes the fix.
This only affects Developer and Express editions, not Standard or Enterprise.
