All, I'm very new to DBeaver. I've installed the Lite edition and am liking it for the most part. However, I'm missing many of the SQL Server administration bits that I'm used to seeing in SQL Server Management Studio such as SQL Server Agent Jobs, Security, etc. Am I just missing this option, do I need a version other than Lite, or is this just functionality that does not exist in DBeaver?

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.
Recently, a tech support specialist installed SQL Server 2016 Management Studio in my computer. When I asked about the possibility of using integrated R services in SSMS, he said I need to have stand alone SQL server installed in order to use that feature (which is not going to happen as individual license is pretty expensive).
Can somebody shed some light on using R services from SQL server 2016? Do I really need stand alone SQL server? or there is a workaround?
Thank you

SQL Server 2016 Management Studio is a client tool that connects to the Microsoft SQL Server 2016. If R-service already installed (as part of setup wizard, if you have chosen Database Engine Services and R-Services (In-Database)), you can connect to the SQL Server and execute R-script from Management Studio setup in your machine.

I need to deploy a WCF service with a database on client machines. I am confused about SQL Server Express. I need to verify all of the following.
When attaching database files in the App_Data folder, do I still need to install SQL Server Express engine (Windows service) on client machines?
There is a flavor called SQL Server Express LocalDb. That one does not need an engine (Windows service)? But I think it need a prerequisite installation of LocalDb.
Localdb is introduced with SQL Server 2012. There is NO localdb for SQL Server 2008. Correct? I could not find 2008 version on MS site.
Do I still need to install SQL Server Express engine (A win Service)
on client machines?
Yes, they need it installed for your application to query the database. Can't really get around it.
There is a flavor called SQL Express localDb. That one does not need
an engine (win service)? but I think it need a perquisite installation
of localdb.
Yes, you'd still need to install LocalDB on the client machine. It's pretty hassle-free to do, but I think it's overkill unless you really need the full features of a SQL Server instance for your webservice.
Instead of LocalDB I'd strongly recommend using SQL Server Compact Edition - it performs the role you're thinking of (your WCF Service can simply connect directly to the database file on your client machines without installing SQL Server, and is lightweight), but doesn't need to be installed (it's simply included as a DLL with your WCF application):
Unlike other editions of Microsoft SQL Server, SQL CE runs
in-process with the application which is hosting it.
In Microsoft's own words on the differences between LocalDB and SQLCE:
LocalDB and SQL Server Compact?
Small and simple database, lightweight installation, connecting to a
database file -- this will sound familiar to any developer using SQL
Server Compact. The similarities are not accidental, as our goal for
LocalDB was to be as easy to use as SQL Server Compact (while being as
powerful and compatible with full SQL Server as SQL Express).
There are significant differences between LocalDB and SQL Server
Compact:
Execution mode: SQL Server Compact is an in-proc DLL, while LocalDB runs as a separate process.
SQL Server CE is kind of like an updated version of MS Access, the file goes with the application which can "just connect" to the database file without involving any database server installation, and its syntax/features are very close to SQL Server standard.
I installed WSS 2007 on one of our test server to see if sharepoint is worth going forward for our group. The problem is, it installed a version of sql server and we are using oracle. So, I will need to move sharepoint from sql server to oracle. We can't use sql server we have to use oracle.
I have two questions:
1. sql server to oracle transition for sharepoint
2. Is there a performance drawback when we move from sql server to oracle with sharepoint.
I tried to look for resources on web but couldn't find much. Any ideas/help would be appreciated.
This is not possible - SharePoint can only run on SQL Server:
Installation Guide for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
The database server must be running
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or Microsoft
SQL Server 2000 with the most recent
service pack.
Enterprise Sharepoint? – Port it to Oracle
I have concluded my only real problem
with SharePoint is that you can’t run
it on Oracle.
If you had shown me SharePoint, not
told me it was from Microsoft and said
you can use it with Oracle as a back
end, I am sure my reaction to it would
have been far different.
I want to create a SQL Server Express database on my local machine and then upload it to a website that will be using the full SQL Server software - can I do this ?
The MS SQL Express databases are completely compatible with full versions of MS SQL Server. So just backup and restore.
You certainly can. You have a few options:
Backup and restore
Script everything manually
Database publishing wizard
Microsoft SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard can be found here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=56E5B1C5-BF17-42E0-A410-371A838E570A&displaylang=en
Yes, they are designed to be compatible. You can either script out of the database or use the Backup/Restore functionality built into SQL Server Management Studio. More details on the latter can be found here.
You can move from SQL Express to the full SQL Server quite easily. There's a couple of ways to go about doing this, but the easiest is to back up the databases in question on SQL Express, install the full version of SQL Server, and restore the databases there. Both programs use the same database backup format. However both instances of SQL Server should be configured with the same collation.
A better approach might be to buy SQL Server Developer edition. It's quite cheap and will install on a desktop O/S such as Windows XP. The main advantage over SQL Server Express is that it has all of the features of Enterprise Edition (CLR sprocs, SSIS etc.) and you can develop with this functionality. YMMV as you may or may not need these features.
