Is there any workaround to install Greenplum database on Windows - database

Seems like greenplum database cannot be installed on windows. I have a certain requirement for which this would be best if I can install it on windows. Is there any possibility or workaround for this?

No, Windows is not a supported operating system for the Greenplum server.
http://docs.greenplum.org/6-1/install_guide/platform-requirements.html#topic13
Lists the supported Operating Systems:
-Red Hat Enterprise Linux 64-bit 7.x (See the following Note.)
-Red Hat Enterprise Linux 64-bit 6.x
-CentOS 64-bit 7.x
-CentOS 64-bit 6.x
-Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

What are the difference between SQL jdbc driver versions 7.4 and 8.2 in terms of features?

I have only found out the differences in system compatibility between the two versions.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/jdbc/microsoft-jdbc-driver-for-sql-server-support-matrix?view=sql-server-ver15#sql-version-compatibility
I am looking for the difference in features between the two JDBC driver versions.
In the download page of 8.4 JDBC driver, Microsoft mentioned that,
Version 8.4 is the latest general availability (GA) version. It
supports Java 8, 11, and 14. If you need to run on a Java runtime
older than that, see the Java and JDBC specification support matrix to
see if there is a supported driver version you can use. We are
continually improving Java connectivity support. As such we highly
recommend that you work with the latest version of Microsoft JDBC
driver.
So the version upgrade should be for improving the java connectivity support which should be the performance improvement between 7.4 & 8.2 drivers.

RHEL environments in YugaByte DB

Does Yugabyte work with RHEL environments? I didn’t see RHEL mentioned in the linux environment.
Yes, YugaByte DB works with RHEL, and has been tested with RHEL 7.x OS.
This is mentioned here (link may be hard to get to): https://docs.yugabyte.com/latest/deploy/checklist/#basics

Is there an Oracle DB 11g or 10g available for Mac osx?

I have searched high and low and can't seem to find any download for Oracle Database 10/11g for Mac OSX. There area pages with links, but all the links are dead or point to the standard oracle downloads with no OSX version.
Is there an Oracle DB 11g or 10g available for Mac osx? If so, where is it?
once upon a time there was a 10.2.4.0 download at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10204macsoft_x86-64.html . Some people got it to work with the help of this blog post , but I never got it to work.
Oracle says,
"Oracle Database 10.2 and 11.1 are no longer available for download.
The software is available as a media or FTP request for those
customers who own a valid Oracle Database product license for any
edition. To request access to these releases, follow the instructions
in Oracle Support Document 1071023.1 (Requesting Physical Shipment or
Download URL for Software Media) from My Oracle Support."
So, the long answer is - it's possible to get it going but truly doubtful that it's worth your effort.
For those who want to setup oracle on the VM , here is a link about how to go about based on my personal experience
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Th5MSIhS13YIJYCD8W1GLnOQEfrfov-92-He1cluTec/pub
I had the exact same question as you and wondered for a while. Finally I managed to install 11gR2 using VirtualBox and wrote a detailed blog post describing the process first about 11gR2 and recently updated for 12cR1.
Oracle 11g is available for:
Microsoft Windows (32-bit)
Microsoft Windows (x64)
Linux x86
Linux x86-64
Solaris (SPARC)
Solaris (x86-64)
HP-UX Itanium
HP-UX PA-RISC (64-bit)
AIX (PPC64) zLinux64
But not for Mac OSX.
See this page.
Actually Oracle should release a version of Oracle 11g for Mac OS too. If they are making a version of Oracle Virtual Box then they should have also the need of making a version of Oracle 11g or 12c for Mac OS.

Oracle 10g (32 bit) on Windows 7 x64

Anybody here does have an succesful experience in installing Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2) for Microsoft Windows (32-Bit) on 64 bit Windows 7? No matter which installation type i select on the first screen i get this: Is it possible to install such a configuration? My java version is 1.5.0_19 (also i have 1.4.2 and 1.6_26 but final product require 1.5). Database Hardware requirements are satisfied (4GB RAM and 65GB on the disk).
Installing a 32bit Oracle version on a 64bit Windows is not supported (See Metalink Document 1060806.1).
You will need to install the 64bit version.
I've managed to install Oracle 64 bit for Windows Vista on Windows 7 as described here, using -ignoreSysPrereqs option for the installation executable.

How to install Visual Studio 2008 and MS SQL Server 2008 in Ubuntu?

I would like to install Visual Studio 2008 and MS SQL Server 2008 on Ubuntu OS which I have in my PC.
Wine is great, but using it for either Visual Studio or MS SQL Server is probably pushing it. Both are behemoths that tend (especially VS) to use the latest MS APIs. More to the point, both VS and MSSQL are listed as Garbage in Wine's db, meaning compatibility is very poor.
I would recommend you take a serious look at the available tools on GNU/Linux, such as MonoDevelop, Mono, Eclipse, MySQL, etc. You can use cross-platform build technologies, such as nant to build the same apps on both platforms.
If that isn't an option, then you will have to resort to virtualization, as noted by sean.
This answer might help you. Visual Studio and SQL Server are for Windows OS variants. You'll need some sort of VM to run on Ubuntu.
If you have some sort of Windows OS disks available to you (XP / Vista / 2008), then you could consider installing Windows under VirtualBox, and installing your software inside that VM. That used to work really well for me when I was still on Ubuntu.
I've been developing using Visual Studio in Ubuntu since version 10.04, and there is a solution, although I would recommend that you run the 64 bit version of Ubuntu and have at least 4Gb of ram available.
Install the latest version of VirtualBox (download from the website, rather than using the ubuntu repository), and install Windows as a virtual machine. You need to allocate a virtual disk and then, when the virtual machine starts for the first time, either install Windows from a CD/DVD, or select a CD image to use within VirtualBox.
You will also see, with the later versions of VirtualBox, something called "seamless mode". This essential hides the virtual machine, so that instead of running in a window, it will integrate with the Ubuntu desktop. That way, you can run Visual Studio in what looks to be native to Ubuntu.
I have tried both VMWare Player and VirtualBox and found VirtualBox to be better for my setup. Although VMWare Player has something called VMWare tools, which provides an API layer to better translate Windows calls to your video card, this can be temperamental if you're using an ATI card (speaking from experience with a Mobility Radeon HD 4600). Nvidia provide much better driver support in Linux than ATI do.
Hope this helps!
I think is better to simply dual boot to write your .net code. It will put your hardware to better use, and you will be able to focus more since all the programs on which you waste your time will be on the linux side :D (at least that's the upside for me)
To use Visual Studio 2008 and MS SQL Server 2008 in any Linux..
