How to Change Pentaho Repository - sql-server

I'm using Pentaho Spoon to Data iteration now, and I want to Change Repository Database of Pentaho.
As I know Pentaho repository server is HsqlDB, and I want to change HsqlDB to MSSQL
So I searched about this, and I followed page 'https://help.hitachivantara.com/Documentation/Pentaho/8.0/Setup/Installation/Archive/Start_Pentaho_Server' , but it didn't work out.
Is there any way to change repository of Pentaho?

I assume that you install archive version of Pentaho Server from your link so you can follow the steps to config MS SQL Server as a repository database from here but if you install manual version of Pentaho Server you can follow from here

How to create a SQL Server database on production server

I'm working on an Angular / .Net core project, and I want to deploy it on my homemade server equipped with Windows Server 2016.
I'm stuck at figuring out the best way to create my database from my migrations files. I've seen some topics on stackoverflow about it, but I don't want to make mistakes on my server, so I'm asking for the best way to do that.
The first option I think is to install Visual Studio IDE on my server. Then I can open my project and run an Update-database command, which will read all migrations files and create database.
But I don't think I'm supposed to install Visual Studio on a server...
The second option is something I saw on StackOverflow. In my development environment, I can use the command dotnet ef migrations script, which will generate a script.
But I'm not sure where I should put this script. I think probably in Microsoft SQL Server Management studio, New query and put my script.
Could you please tell me the best way ?
you need dotnet sdk in order to use dotnet ef migrations script but you can use your development pc to connect to your remote SQL Server and do migrations. for this, just point your connection string to remote SQL Server and use either Update-Database or dotnet ef update database
Another solution exists and You can use SQL server Generate Script to query all your database objects and execute it on target SQL server.
The best way you can do "first create" of your database in production environment is to Generate Script from SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio) and run that script on production Db server. The reason of that is because your database is empty (you can put all of data in script) and you can easily change the name, etc.
After that, on new versions of your application, the best way is to use Update-Database -Script and save/add that script to your deployment scripts.
When you are preparing for go-live, try that scripts with ROLLBACK TRANSACTION, if something fails...

Neo4j ETL jdbc SQL Server driver

I'm working with Neo4j desktop. I successfully installed the ETL tool but on the database configuration, I can see only the Mysql and portage default.
I downloaded the SQL Server driver and unzipped it into my active database lib directory, but the SQL Server database type option did not appear on the menu.
Please advice

Tal, currently the sql-server support only works with the command line tool.
Please follow the instructions there:

Make sure to use the correct JDBC URL for SQL Server.
Here is a Docker example for SQL Server

How to connect to Sybase(BPPM tool) database using SSIS?

I have a requirement of pulling data from sybase database to SQL using an SSIS package. I cannot find any provider/sybase connector till now. Searched a lot on google/tried multiple suggestions but picture is not clear anywhere.
Kindly let me know what is the step by step process and download link of driver if required. I would prefer if it can be done without any new installation as it would require more approvals from client.
Install ASE from SAP website, then using ODBC connector, we can connect to sybase database in SSIS.

Is there a way to migrate SQL Server to Vistadb (Umbraco)

I am on a shared host and whilst in development (umbraco) I think it would be easier to use VistaDB then package up to install to SQL Server. However, I have already started using SQL Server. Is there a way to migrate my SQL Server (2008) database to VistaDB. I assume the schema is identical but I need a way/tool to move the data to VistaDB.
You could migrate to VistaDB in the same way that you want to migrate data from development to production. Create a package from your current SQL Server-based development site, then create a new empty install of Umbraco with a VistaDB database and import the package there.
This would also be a useful dry run to check that migration to production is going to work as smoothly as you expect.
You can also use the Data Migration Tool in VistaDB to migrate any SQL Server database to VistaDB 4. If you need an older migration (I think the current Umbraco is still using VDB3 files) contact support through the VistaDB.Net site and someone will help you.
