How do I create a new server in SQL Server Management Studio? - sql-server

The questions is basically the title because I could not find any articles to help as they only help on how to create a new database however I cant seem to create/join my own server.
The first picture attached is what I've seen other people do in order to get in however, I get an error when i try to connect

SQL Server and SSMS are two seperate softwares. SQL Server creates a database engine on your machine and SSMS is used to visualize or perform operations on these Database Servers. You Need to install both SQL Server and SSMS. While you seem to have install only SSMS.
You Can Install SQL Server from this link

Migration of SQL Server 2012 database to Oracle 12c

I'm trying to migrate a SQL Server 2012 database backup file, which I wanted to migrate to Oracle 12c. I tried to use SQL Developer tool for migration using this reference:
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/hol08/sqldev_migration/mssqlserver/migrate_microsoft_sqlserver_otn.htm
The problem is in SQL Developer tool, I didn't see any option where I can generate database capture script for SQL Server 2012, because there is no option which is showing up there.
I'm open for other suggestions as well. the SQL Server is installed on my same system, where I've installed Oracle 12c, so even if there is way by which we can directly connect with SQL Server on my local system.
Hello for migration from SQL SERVER to Oracle. There are many articles are available on web. You can google it. For as one reference use this article and try for migration of data.

deployment facing

hi i am not able to create ssis catalog in my management studio?
it is showing this error....
The catalog backup file 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn\SSISDBBackup.bak' could not be accessed. Make sure the database file exists, and the SQL Server service account is able to access it. (Microsoft.SqlServer.IntegrationServices.Common.ObjectModel)
I have the same issue. Trying to google my way through it. Things I have noted in answers from other sites:
Integration Services has to be part of your SQL Server install
(update the product and add if missing, this will add the file)
Version of SQL Server Management Studio and SQL Server engine need to match
File may be in the wrong location, find it and copy it into where SQL Server is looking for it.
Run SQL Server Management Studio as Administrator to avoid permissions issues
My solution was that I was attempting to create the SSIS DB on a remote server and not the server I was logged into. Once I attempted on the local server it worked fine.

Syncing a SQL Server CE database with a regular SQL Server database

There's an Umbraco site that various people been contributing content to. It runs on a hosted domain using a SQL Server Compact edition database for the CMS. It's about to go live and I need to sync the dev database to the live SQL Server instance which is hosted by a third party.
I just ass(u)me(d) that I could attach the .sdf to my local SQL Server and use a commercial tool (Redgate/SQLDelta etc.) to copy it to the live db. This does not seem to be possible. While I have managed to attach the .sdf using Linqpad, I can't connect to it like a regular database.
The best option seems to be to script out the entire database, but this seems like an impossible task using just Linqpad (no flies on Linqpad, obviously - it isn't the tool for such a task). Any less onerous options would be gratefully accepted.
You can use my free "SQL Server Compact Toolbox" Visual Studio extension for this. It can generate a script of the entire SQL Server Compact database, that you can then run against an empty SQL Server database.
In the past I did this kind of scenario wherein I need to copy the data from the SQL Server CE to a SQL Server database. Have you tried adding the .sdf to an ODBC then linked that ODBC to SQL Server?

duplicate a Database content into another database

I have a database that I want to duplicate into another database.
I'm using Sql Server 2012 Express Management Studio
I tried to make a backup of the database and tried to restore it as another database, but I couldn't
It happens that I was using LocalDB\v11.0, but I had to upgrade my sql server express to the version that accepts remote connections.
But now I have two servers, LocalDB\v11.0 and .\SQLEXPRESS, my database is in LocalDB and I want it in .\SQLEXPRESS
How can I do that?
Rafael
Though I haven't tried but this shouldn't be the case. AFAIK, LocalDB\v11.0 introduced in SQL Server 2012 and you can backup/restore between localdb and sqlexpress.
if that's not working then try posting the error/issue you are getting in this post.
Anyway, you can also script your database, schema and data and then run those script locally.
See this post here for the same ...

Once you are connected, you can view the DB objects and script them in SSMS; thereafter run those same script in your sqlexpress instance.

How to see what's on SQL server CE database

I have created a database in SQL server Compact Edition.
I tried to attach it in SQL server
management Express, but it did not work.
Could anyone tell me how to see the data that I
saved using my VB.net code, as we can
see in Access.
When I load SSME, it asked for which server to
connect with. But my database is not saved on any server.
Please advise.
Thanks
Select SQL Server Compact Edition in the dropdown list when you start SSMS.
If you don't see it there, install SP2.
