What are the major differences between Greenplum (GPDB) Community vs Enterprise Editions?
I want to get more details about the features which are available in enterprise edition as compared to community edition of Greenplum database.
Let me clarify terms first. The only two versions of Greenplum right now are:
the Open Source version available via greenplum.org which is completely free. This sometimes referred to as community edition but I prefer Open Source version - there used to be a "community edition" which was a VMware OVA file but that is long gone (was around the early Greenplum 4.X timeframe).
VMware/Tanzu Greenplum available via the VMware download site. This includes the database server and all other supporting products/utilities in the product (see below) as downloads. It requires a customer number to login and use for download. This typically requires a license fee as agreed upon after a product sale. The Greenplum database server itself is the same as the open source version.
From the Greenplum release notes, these are the differences between the Open Source version and the licensed (enterprise) version:
Differences Compared to Open Source Greenplum Database
VMware Tanzu Greenplum 6.x includes all of the functionality in the open source Greenplum Database project and adds:
Product packaging and installation script
Support for QuickLZ compression. QuickLZ compression is not provided in the open source version of Greenplum Database due to licensing restrictions.
Support for data connectors:
Greenplum-Spark Connector
Greenplum-Informatica Connector
Greenplum-Kafka Integration
Greenplum Streaming Server
Data Direct ODBC/JDBC Drivers
Greenplum PostGIS Extension
gpcopy utility for copying or migrating objects between Greenplum systems
Support for managing/monitoring Greenplum Database using VMware Tanzu Greenplum Command Center
Support for full text search and text analysis using VMware Tanzu GPText
Greenplum backup plugin for DD Boost
Backup/restore storage plugin API
I hope this answers your question.

I want to generate the DB document for all DB objects. please provide the free open source software to create the DB document.
I have used the SQLDBdoc but it's provide the only Tables details.
I am using SQl server 2012 express editions.
SQL Server documentation tools are quite complex to be free and open source and often they lack features. Instead, I suggest trying out some of the commercial tools with free versions, that are available on the market.
For example, I’m using ApexSQL Doc as a documentation tool. The program generates full featured SQL Server database and BI documentations in 5 output formats (including chm) in a few clicks, and lets you pick the database objects to document. It also offers different output style templates for the documentation.
It comes with a 14 days trial period and after that it remains free as a Community edition and lets you document from SQL Server Express and Azure SQL Database in chm format.
I have a project where the choice of database engine is still up in the air, based on affordability and feature-set. Some basic groundwork has been carried out using SQL Server, and in evaluating the cost implications of opting to adopt SQL Server, versus a different vendor's product, I noticed that Microsoft has just released their public preview of SQL Server v.Next, which allows one to run SQL Server on a Linux platform.
According to www.theregister.co.uk, the public preview is a SQL Server executable that runs on *nix-based systems by utilising Drawbridge, which is essentially a way of running Windows applications on a tiny version of the Windows 8 kernel, run inside a sandbox.
One issue most open source advocates have had with Microsoft's SQL Server is that SQL Server Enterprise contains all functionality, and when opting for a more budget-friendly version, certain limitations are imposed on you.
Specifically, Standard Edition and Web Edition impose upper limits on in-memory column store (32GB and 16GB respectively), and Web Edition removes backup compression as a feature.
I've searched the web in an attempt to find out how Microsoft intends to license SQL Server as far as Linux versions are concerned, my main concern being related to database mirroring. As far as database mirroring is concerned, SQL Server Standard and SQL Server Web Editions both have a subset of the functionality provided by SQL Server Enterprise.
I'm looking to understand three things:
How is Microsoft going to license SQL Server vNext for Linux (specifically, the Ubuntu version)?
If vNext is a subset of the functionality of the Windows version of SQL Server, what functionality is omitted?
Is database mirroring functionality present in the Linux distros of SQL Server vNext?
I don't think licensing information has been released yet.
What we do know is SQL Server Next on Windows & Linux will run a single feature set. Here is a quote taken from MS at Connect().
Microsoft officials said SQL Server Next on Linux and SQL Server Next
on Windows are based on a single code base. "There are some features
that have platform specific characteristics. For example, file paths
in Linux are different than file paths in Windows," said a
spokesperson. But they are not two completely different products.
My take on this is: SQL Server 2018 (or whatever it ends up being called) will be the same on Linux and Windows. This lines up with the big news about SQL Server 2016 Service Pack 1. MS have announced all editions will be functionally the same, from LocalDb to Enterprise.
While the Linux version remains in preview it is hard be sure what the final product will look like. If this is choice you have to make soon you may well feel the Linux solution isn't, quite, ready for prime-time.
I am new to oracle database products. I am planning to install oracle 11g express edition in my PC,it looks like a standard installer.But in many of the oracle database installation tutorial mentions oracle universal installer.oracle universal installer provides more open options,but those options and features not available in downloaded oracle 11g express edition.
difference between two https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm#XEINW151 and http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/11g/r1/prod/install/dbinst/windbinst2.htm
so anyone explain me exactly what is oracle universal installer??Thx in advance.
As the name suggests oracle universal installer is a utility which can be used to install or uninstall multiple oracle products.
The utility can also check pre-requisites before installing a new software.
Only thing you need to do is to provide path to products.xml file inside oraparam.ini file. This can be location for the file on your physical machine or remote location may be hosted on oracle site.
The products.xml file actually have the information about the product being installed for example it is Oracle Client or DB.

FYI, this question would have been better asked on the DBA site since it has nothing to do with programming.
XE is a minimal installation for test/dev work so I guess they decided not to clutter it up with OUI, which I have never liked anyway. OUI is simply Oracle's Java-based installer that installs and keeps track of the majority of Oracle software you have installed on your system. There's nothing special about it, and you have no need to worry about missing out on something. If you were installing the standard database, it would try to start the network config tool that creates the TNSNames.ora file, for example. It's been a while since I used XE but I think it's install just creates a generic one for connecting to the XE instance.
I have a project requirement to choose a light database for the application.
It's required to choose between SQL Server Express Edition or SQLLite. Which one would be efficient and reliable. I am supposed to run it under Windows 7/Windows 2008 R2. I am newbie in the database programming. It would be helpful if you can share some information in terms of
Reliability
Stability
Size Limits
Memory consumption
Performance
SQL Server Express and SQLite aren't really comparable database systems.
SQL Server Express is the free version of Microsofts full SQL Server product, a standalone database server (often run on a dedicated machine) that client applications connect to. It is designed for things like web applications where many users will be using the database at the same time and there is a requirement for high availability.
SQLite is a compact in-process database that is often used in applications that benefit from having access to a SQL based database system however it isn't feasible to install a full standalone database alongside the application. For example Firefox uses SQLite to store bookmarks and Adobe Lightroom uses it to store its photos catalog, there are also several mobile (e.g. iPhone) applications that use SQLite.
The Microsoft equivalent to SQLite would be SQL Server compact edition (CE) which is free to distribute and use. SQL Server CE is very similar to SQLite in most respects.
Similarly the non-Micrososft equivalent of SQL Server (both the Express edition and the full edition) would probably be MySQL.
Although there are crossovers (you might build a small web application that uses SQLite, or a large desktop application that requires users to install SQL Express) typically the choice between the two "types" of database system (in-process vs standalone database server) is down to the type of application being developed.
You might find more details in the following article: http://erikej.blogspot.com/2011/01/comparison-of-sql-server-compact-4-and.html
We have the full version of SQL 2008 Server (first release) installed and licensed from download (a couple years ago). Now we are getting into Reporting Services; however, it seems only the Express version of Reporting Services is installed.
In the control panel under Services, I only see "SQL Reporting Services (SQLEXPRESS)" listed. [Express is ALSO on the server]
I do not think the Reporting Services option was selected when we initially installed. I would like to go back and Change the installation, however I cannot find the SQL 2008 R1 installation disk or download.
Any advice? Thanks.
If you can't find the original SQL Server 2008 installation media and don't have any subscriptions with Microsoft that entitle you to digital downloads of your purchased software, then I think you can try downloading the Enterprise Evaluation copy from here and using your existing license key for Standard in the installation process. After that, you should be able to add the Reporting Services features. Definitely backup your server before trying this, of course.
Failing that, you can install the trial version from scratch and use your license to upgrade it to the non-time-limited version (the upgrade paths allow for this).
Microsoft does not licence Release Candidate (RC) software for production environments or long-term use. Instead, these are basically their version of beta software. In a production environment, you must use RTM software. If you check your license agreement from your initial download, you should see that you should be using the RC1 version of SQL Server 2008 only for testing.
As for how to install Reporting Services on an RTM version, unfortunately you are going to need the media. Since you believe you have a valid license, contact Microsoft and request a copy of the media. Once you have it, just run the setup.exe and it will allow you to modify your SQL installation to include SSRS.
