Failed to create a database. An exception of type System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException was thrown. Additional exception information: Could not find stored procedure ‘sp_dboption’. – Error Occurred when Installing SharePoint 2010 in SQL 2012. – Microsoft Cloud Infrastructure Technical Journal

got a new server for my Test environment and started creating a lab of SharePoint 2010 in it with SQL Server 2012 R2. everything went smoothly until I start Configuration Wizard. It came to the 3rd Level and Error Occurred suddenly saying – Failed to create a database. An exception of type System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException was thrown. Additional exception information: Could not find stored procedure ‘sp_dboption’.

After thinking a while realized that my setup was just SharePoint 2010 RTM which is None SP. since my lab is brand new thought of trying on installing SP1. just downloaded and installed the SP1 for SharePoint 2010 and started the wizard again.

Everything Gone perfect after SP1. further when reading understood that it’s must to have SP1/above for SharePoint to install in SQL 2012.
