I'm new to Couchbase and trying to understand the features of community edition. I can't find analytics, eventing and running queries that I see in examples and tutorials. Nowhere says that these are enterprise features, so I'm asking myself if there are something missing in my setup. Asking help!
Analytics and Eventing are currently Enterprise only features. See: https://www.couchbase.com/products/editions
Querying (non Analytics querying) with N1QL, however, is available in Community edition.
When you first install Couchbase, the query service should be checked by default. It's possible that you unchecked it by mistake.

This page https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/google_app_engine.html suggests that I can easily create new projects with google-app-engine java support. It comes up in my google search about this topic, with the idea community edition. however, my "new project" dialogue does not look like that: https://www.dropbox.com/s/soof8k29cl1fb9r/Screenshot%20from%202014-12-04%2022%3A15%3A18.png?dl=0
So I suspect this is just a feature in the intellij idea ultimate edition. But then I would expect to be able to download the plugin for the google-app-engine integration somewhere, right? Where would that be? I was only able to find a really old plugin (version 1.1.2) while the recent one is 1.1.4, I am told.
IntelliJ Community Edition is not meant for web development, hence it is only supported in the Ultimate Edition:
The plugin is bundled with IDEA Ultimate Edition since version 9.

I have just started using SSDT. Is there any way I can get a graphical view of my database and the relations between the tables?
Thanks!
Currently, no there isn't, nor is there any 3rd party plugin for it either (as far as I have been able to establish).
There was some talk a while ago about it possible coming, though no timescales were mentioned:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ssdt/thread/853b8ec1-33a2-49c5-9ac2-b93d89e8b859/
Unfortunately, I understand that Gert is no longer working on SSDT, so it may no longer be in the pipeline
There's no diagramming tool within SSDT. You'll have to resort to another tool I'm afraid however that tool will (naturally) require you to deploy your SSDT project first.
A diagramming tool that builds upon the in-memory model that SSDT builds under the covers would be great. Its not there today though.

I have several WPF applications. And I think the number of apps would grow overtime. I want to create an installer with these features:
Check for .Net version and ask the user to install it
Support for creating a secure time-based trial version for the app with activation support.
Template support: So I can create one general installer and modify it for each tool.
Update support: Check for the new version of the app.
Easy to deploy: There is a chance that I won't be uploading them myself.
If there is a tool which can help me with these, I'll be glad to use it. Commercial tools are fine too. If not, please suggest a streamlined process to achieve the optimal result.
Advanced Installer, Enterprise edition, with a good price, has also all these features. To learn the tool I recommend this tutorial, after which you can continue with tutorials for the updater and licensing library(trial support).
InstallShield will do what you are looking for but it's not cheap. They have really nice wizards, script editors, SQL packaging, version control, etc.
Flexera Software
Visual Studio 2010 / 2012 include the light version, but it can't really do more than wrap an app for installation. All the other advanced features are reserved to the paid versions.
We're a small software company, developing projects for manufacturing facilities about analysis, traceability, reporting etc. We're using Access for front end, SQL Server for back end. We've quite big customers too and our company is growing. So far it is working fine but I wonder should we move to more influential technologies, such as web based solutions. What do you think about the future of Access?
Well, keep in mind that Access now has a web option. This option works with SharePoint and the new upcoming office 365. Here is a video of an Access application and note how at the half way point I switch to running the application 100% in a web browser. No ActiveX or Silverlight is required. I even tested and run the application on my iPad.

And Access 2010 also has baked in support for the Azure (cloud) edition of SQL server.
So, we have web based options, cloud based options, and there been significant investments into Access for 2010.
You could have a look at these questions:
MS Access as Enterprise Software?
and
What are the appropriate uses for MS Access?
Here we have a central SQL Server database, with both an MS-Access and a Web client interface. MS-Access is history (we started it 5 years ago) and Web is trendy (less than one year old). I must admit that MS Access is still very very efficient and cheap, once you have resolved some MS access specific problems, to which you might find answers here:
Working with multiple programmers on MS Access
How do you use version control with Access development?
Best way to test a MS Access application?
MS-Access, VBA and error handling
You can always use VB.NET Express. It's free, and Microsoft's licensing should still allow you to sell apps created with it (they did with Express 2005).
UPDATE: Access 2013 has better support for web apps than previous versions, and the apps use SQL Server or SQL Azure under the hood by default. So be sure to thoroughly evaluate the latest version of Access before concluding that you need something else.
A very good alternative to Access with similar features is Lightswitch. Here's a quote from MSDN:
Visual Studio LightSwitch is a development environment designed to simplify and shorten the development of businesses applications and data services. LightSwitch makes it easy to create data-centric business applications that can consume a variety of data sources and create clients that can run on a variety of devices.
While Access now has a web option as #AlbertDKallal mentioned (and which is still worth considering as one option), creating an HTML 5 app is the whole focus of Lightswitch. (Note: the original version of Lightswitch required Silverlight, but the newer versions create HTML5 apps that don't require any plugins.) The app will also be more extensible, since it's a .NET app, and for things that require custom programming you can program in C# or Visual Basic rather than VBA.
I should mention at this point that I haven't actually tried Lightswitch yet (!) - I'm currently evaluating it and these are the features that look attractive to me compared to Access. If anyone reading this in the future is curious about what my experience with it was like, feel free to write a comment to remind me.

I need open source blog, something like Wordpress. I have a limit, whichever is the only solution that runs on IIS and uses SQL Server Express. Any solutions for this problem??
Check out the Microsoft Web Platform. In among the dev tools, there's a bunch of free web applications, including a variety of blogs (notably blogengine.net) and full-fledged CMSes like DotNetNuke.
Update: And as a nod to #birryree's comment, note that the Web Platform includes Wordpress! :)
