I would like to know if there is a way to integrate Postman with SQL Server Management Studio. This is required for API server side testing purposes.
My intention is to insert data using Postman JSON scripts and connect to SQL Server database and verify that the data is available in the database.
Postman's a UI for executing web requests; SQL Server Management Studio is a UI for managing databases. If you want to insert data into a SQL Server database with Postman, you'll need a web API in the middle that can interpret your JSON requests and insert database records; then you can use SQL Server Management Studio to query the database tables.
You can make use of Apache Drill which is open source.

I am looking to create a simple Rest API call to SQL Server 2016 to expose tables and data.
Is there a way I can achieve this by any in built functionality from SQL Server configurations?
I tried it via SSMS, but i don't see the linked server folder in object explorer.
Tried creating via T-sql stored procedure, but the sp_addlinkedserver (and also other linked server related) does not exist.
I cannot see it in the SP section at all, cannot see it in master DB too. I am using, Azure sql server ADW on cloud, do not see many of the SPs that are other wise available as part of SQL server.
softwares and their versions------->>
SQL server version 2019 microsoft sql server 2012 native client
installed microsoft odbc driver 17 for sql server installed SQL
Server Management Studio (SSMS) 15.0.18206.0 Microsoft Analysis
Services Client Tools 15.0.1567.0 Microsoft Data Access
Components (MDAC) 10.0.18362.1 Microsoft MSXML 3.0 6.0
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here??
I have been trying to find the definition of the SP sp_addlinkedserver but unable to find it. IF i find this, i will myself add it in the DW. Please help me. Thanks
Azure SQL DW doesn't support linked server:
If you want copy data between Azure DW and MangoDB, Maybe you can try Data Factory. Reference:
Copy data from MongoDB using Azure Data Factory.
Copy and transform data in Azure Synapse Analytics (formerly Azure
SQL Data Warehouse) by using Azure Data Factory
Hope this helps.
I am new to Prometheus, I want to use the results of a SQL Server stored procedure in Prometheus Grafana with using Web API (not using Docker or agent) to see the performances of my SQL Server database, I have cloned the GitHub project called Prometheous.net in Visual Studio, but my question is how can I use it with my SQL Server database to collect metrics?
There's an Umbraco site that various people been contributing content to. It runs on a hosted domain using a SQL Server Compact edition database for the CMS. It's about to go live and I need to sync the dev database to the live SQL Server instance which is hosted by a third party.
I just ass(u)me(d) that I could attach the .sdf to my local SQL Server and use a commercial tool (Redgate/SQLDelta etc.) to copy it to the live db. This does not seem to be possible. While I have managed to attach the .sdf using Linqpad, I can't connect to it like a regular database.
The best option seems to be to script out the entire database, but this seems like an impossible task using just Linqpad (no flies on Linqpad, obviously - it isn't the tool for such a task). Any less onerous options would be gratefully accepted.
You can use my free "SQL Server Compact Toolbox" Visual Studio extension for this. It can generate a script of the entire SQL Server Compact database, that you can then run against an empty SQL Server database.
In the past I did this kind of scenario wherein I need to copy the data from the SQL Server CE to a SQL Server database. Have you tried adding the .sdf to an ODBC then linked that ODBC to SQL Server?
I am a Crystal Reports developer and I have always been working with Oracle database and this is my first time with SQL Server.
This is what I have been desperately searching for.
From my local PC, I want to connect to a SQL Server database which is on a database server.
I am aware that I need a 'SQL Server Native Client'. And I am also aware that I need to use 'sql server management studio' so that I can view the tables and writes queries instead of using a tool like TOAD.
My questions are:
Can I use 'Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express' from my local PC to connect to a SQL Server 2005 Database in a database server?
If I install 'Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express' do I still need to install a 'SQL Server Native Client'?
Thanks,
rivi

Yes.

If you want to connect to the database from your application you will need it installed. It should be installed as part of the SSMS install.
Answer 1:
SQL Server Management Studio can be used to manage either local or remote SQL database server.
If you installed SQL Server Express, the default instance will be SQLExpress. To connect it locally using Windows Credential, just type .\SQLExpress or yourmachinename\SQLExpress in the server name textbox.
If you host the SQL Server on a remote server, you must use the credential given by the authority hosting your SQL Server. It is easy, ask your admin for the details.

I copy and paste the important notes from the link above here:
When deciding whether to use SQL Server Native Client as the data access technology of your application, you should consider several factors.
For new applications, if you're using a managed programming language such as Microsoft Visual C# or Visual Basic, and you need to access the new features in SQL Server, you should use the .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server, which is part of the .NET Framework.
If you are developing a COM-based application and need to access the new features introduced in SQL Server, you should use SQL Server Native Client. If you don't need access to the new features of SQL Server, you can continue to use Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC).
For existing OLE DB and ODBC applications, the primary issue is whether you need to access the new features of SQL Server. If you have a mature application that does not need the new features of SQL Server, you can continue to use MDAC. But if you do need to access those new features, such as the new xml Data Type, you should use SQL Server Native Client.
Both SQL Server Native Client and MDAC support read committed transaction isolation using row versioning, but only SQL Server Native Client supports snapshot transaction isolation. (In programming terms, read commited transaction isolation with row versioning is the same as Read-Committed transaction.) For more information, see Choosing Row Versioning-based Isolation Levels.
For information about the differences between SQL Server Native Client and MDAC, see Updating an Application to SQL Server Native Client from MDAC.
