How to upgrading the SQL Extensions Toolkit in Netezza? I don't want to have duplicate files I just want to upgrade from the SQL Ext I have currently.
Thanks.

You might find it easier to install SQLToolkit in its own database and refer to the functions from that database.

Microsoft has released the relational DB engine part of the SQL Server for Linux, including Ubuntu 16.01.
Is it possible to use this to install it on Debian (Jessie, for example)? If so, What different requirements would I have to consider to get it working?
I know this is pretty new, but I'd appreciate any insight into this.
Yes, it is possible. You'll need to overcome a SSL dependency by using jessie-backports source. I wasn't able to get the mssql-tools package to install however. I also tested the latest version of Kubuntu. SQL and mssql-tools installed without a hitch there.
Is it possible to keep the all of my database scripts in VS? Is there an easy way or would I have to create the scripts from the database and manually add that file into my VS project?
Yes, in fact recent versions of Visual Studio have a type of project just for this - Database Projects
There's also SQL Server Database Tools (SSDT), which is kind of the same idea, but its own package if you don't have a version of VS that supports it on its own. I believe SSDT has been superseded by Database Projects in VS.
This might be a trivial error in my setup but I cannot seem to find where I went wrong in stalling SSDT 2013 with SQl Server and having the open to create a new database template
please see image
what I expect to be in the list in a sql template with the option to create a new database project
could someone tell me what i'm missing ?
Thanks in advance
For database projects you'll need to install a version of Visual Studio that supports it - in your case it looks like you ran the standalone SSDT-BI installer which installs SSIS, SSAS and SSRS templates. This doesn't include database project templates. What you need is to install one of the VS versions with support - there are 2 Express versions (Express for Web and Express for Windows Desktop) and 3 paid versions (Premium, Pro, Ultimate). Here is a quote from the SSDT blog post explaining this:
Visual Studio 2013 - VS 2013 now has SQL Server tooling built in and shipped as part of the core product. Database Projects, SQL tools (such as schema compare & data compare), and the online experiences through SSOX are all included with the RTM version. We have full project and SSOX support in VS Express for Web and Express for Windows Desktop, so we have discontinued our stand-alone integrated shell offering. We have a component update feed that will use VS Update to push notification to users. To manually check for updates, go to the Tools > Extensions and Updates... menu to open the dialog. We will continue to post announcements on our blog and forum that a release is available and what is included in that update.
What version of Visual Studio 2013 are you using? You need to have either the Ultimate, Premium or Pro version for SSDT (Link).
If you do have the right version of Visual Studio then you may need to re-run the installer and opt in to SQL Server Data Tools during setup.
I had this issue and resolved it several years ago. I needed to reinstall SSMS with Data Tools. Unfortunately I am encountering the same issue now, but luckily I had documented the issue at the time. I am finding that because there are newer versions of both VS and SSMS, it is hard to find the proper downloads.
From my documentation (3 years ago) None of the attempts to correct the Visual Studio install directly (SSDTBI_x86_ENU download from Microsoft) were successful, but once we did a complete reinstall of SQL Server 2014 which included the Data Tools, the needed template was available in the Add New Project dialog, and the previously incompatible projects found in GitHub******Report.sln were now compatible.
I have completed my Project in VB.Net and has published my project.
But i want to come out of these things
I have Sql Server Database in my project and i want my setup to add that database to sql server on installing my project.
I want my application to automatically detect sql server 2008 r2 and if it is not instaled i want it to install for me and then atach the database.
I dont want to add the database as a Attached database in my project.
i dont want to install crystal report in my application.
I have some unused refernces in my application in my project which i want to removed, i have tried the default visual studio remove unused references but still have some references like shockwave.dll log2net.dll etc.
The first step would be to switch to an MSI-based installer. This should allow you to resolve issues 3 and 5 (you control what the MSI includes). You can use a Visual Studio setup project, WiX or a commercial setup authoring tool.
For installing your database (issue 1), the best approach depends on how you use your database. Some installers simply copy the database files, others install it using custom actions and others execute SQL scripts. You should first determine how you want to install it and then ask a more specific question if you encounter problems.
To install SQL Server when it's not found (issue 2), you can use a prerequisite. This is done differently for each setup tool, so you first need to decide on a tool and then research how it supports prerequisites.
For issue 4, I'm not sure I know what to say. An MSI package will install what you include in it. If you don't add Crystal Reports in your package, then it won't be installed.

I've spent some time with new Database project in VS 2008 and decided to go with it (really cool). But i've also discovered that i cannot build it on our CI-server where .NET SDK only is installed. I tried to put Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamSystem.Data.Tasks.targets to the CI-server but it has too many dependencies on assemblies such as Microsoft.VisualStudio.TeamSystem.Data.dll.
Am i right that in order to build it i need VS 2008 Team System installed (unacceptable for CI-server) or there is a simpler solution?
You always need to install on your build server the same software you use to build on a developer machine. In this case, you do need the Data Edition installed. In the same way, if you had web tests as part of your automated test suite, you would need the Test Edition installed.
