I'd be happy if someone could help me.
I need to get data from PL sql developer oracle and import of sql server, I want to do automatic synchronization.
now I am exporting an Excel file from PL sql developer oracle, and load the file into sql server
The tool specifically built for this is Sql Server Integration Services (SSIS). You can create a data flow with source component using Oracle Driver and destination using Sql Server. You can even add transforms between the two to handle formatting and other tasks.
Here is a link to a series of videos on the topic. There is plenty of non - video materials as well if you prefer.

I'm unable to add or connect MS SQL server remote Database in Neo4j?
I've tried several times by adding the remote server URL in the Neo4j tool
Also, how do we make this tool available to everyone or end users without installing on their devices?
Can anyone please guide me?
Please treat this as a request.

As mentioned on the community post, Neo4j Desktop is not a general db management app, it is specifically for managing and working with Neo4j, so MS SQL support will not be added. Please search for other tools that are designed to work with that db.
If you want to connect to an MS SQL server from Neo4j, then you could use APOC to perform a load via JDBC:

I have read a few articles about moving data out of SAP BW and into SQL Server. I cant find any articles on moving the data from SQL Server to SAP BW, is it even possible and if so what would be the best way to handle this?
After searching on this topic, i found many link addressing this issue, in this answer i will try to summarize them all and to provide all links that can help you achieving your goal.
There are many way to import data from SQL Server into SAP BW:
(1) SAP BW DB Connect
With DB Connect, you can load data from a database system that is supported by SAP, by
linking a database to the BW as a source system, thereby creating a direct point of access to external relational database management systems (RDBMS).
Making metadata known to BW by generating a DataSource.

(3) SSIS - Microsoft Connector for SAP BW
Microsoft has created a SSIS connector for SAP BW, which allows you to create connection To SAP BW, you can refer to the following links and official documentations:

Discussion
While searching for this issue, using SSIS to achieve that is not recommended because it may encounter some incompatibility issue, they recommended to use SAP BW standard anyDB source system or SAP BO Data services.
Issues example:

On the other hand, SSIS guarantee the ease of use and there is thousands of topics and references for this technologies which will help you to achieve your goal faster than other technologies.

I guess the easiest way would be to use an ETL tool to extract data from MSSQL and insert into BW; specifically Microsoft's Integration Services (SSIS), which you likely already have with your SQL Server license.
SSIS is a visual tool specifically designed for ETL scenarios like what you described, and is easy to get started with, I'm guessing that this tutorial covers 90% of what you'll need to do.
However, you should also investigate if your license allows you to use the SSIS connector for SAP BW and test if it is a viable option to simplify writing to BW, as writing directly to BW's tables may not be an option (e.g. because of licensing restrictions and/or technical impact due to directly manipulating a closed system's database).
create the universe/ presentation layer using existing SQL Server DB. if there is no major transformation required ETL can be avoided
I have a .dmp file (oracle data) and I have to import this file into SQL Server 2008 R2. I tried google but get no clear solution. Oracle is on other machine and SQL Server is on other machine. This .DMP file has only tables and data only nothing else.
Any body has any idea?
You can't get there from here. The files that the Oracle export utility (classic or DataPump) generate (which, by convention, frequently use the DMP extension) are proprietary binary files. They can only be consumed by the Oracle import utility (classic or DataPump) which will only allow you to load the data into another Oracle database.
You could load the DMP file into a new Oracle database but then you'll still need to move the data from Oracle to SQL Server. It may well be easier to ignore the DMP file and pull directly from the original Oracle database. There are a variety of tools that can be used to move data from an Oracle database to a SQL Server database. If you want SQL Server to control the process, you could SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS). You could also create a linked server in SQL Server that references the Oracle database and write queries against the Oracle database via that connection. If you wanted Oracle to push the data, you could also use the Oracle Transparent Gateway with Heterogeneous Services to create a database link from Oracle to SQL Server and issue SQL against the remote SQL Server database.
There is a nice StackOverflow thread on moving data from Oracle to SQL Server. The SSIS logic is extremely similar if you're pulling from Oracle to SQL Server or pushing from SQL Server to Oracle.
Oracle Dumps is not readable by SQL.
Simply it cannot be, But you have different solutions
SQL server integration services (SSIS)
Link between oracle and SQL (Oracle Gateway) but it works with SQL Ent.
Export the data from oracle in a delimited format and insert it into SQL, but it will takes time if data is huge.
When I faced with the same problem, I tried to investigate the format manually (in my case the dump file was generated by Oracle EXP). I found that:
Table definitions come as Oracle CREATE TABLE statement that can be converted into MS SQL format easily
Most kind of data ca be extracted quite easy (text goes "as is", numeric values are stored according to IEEE 754 format)
LOBs are stored in quite complicated way, I failed to recognize it
Then I found the tool that was able to do my migration task: https://www.convert-in.com/ord2mss.htm
Vendor said that it can migrate both exp and expdp to sql server, but I have tested it on EXP format only.
I have a table in a database on my development(local workstation) SQL Server 2008 Express that I have added some records to. Now, I would like to deploy this table to the production SQL Server 2000 located on a server. What is the best was to accomplish this? I want to retain the data from the development instance. Both tables have the exact same structure. Can I use the DTS Import/Export wizard from the production SQL Server 2000 through the SQL Server Enterprise Manager? Does it overwrite tables when importing? Will it handle the different versions of SQL Server?
One technique is to create a linked server. Check the msdn link Linked server - msdn
Then you can write a single query to do the Update or whatever that has access to tables on both servers.
You development work should result in scripts, not in bits in the database. There are many advantages in doing so. When you deploy, you run the developed scripts on the productions database. Now that you let the cat out of the bag, your best option is to use export the table and then import it, see FAQ: How do I import/export data with SQL Express. SQL's own import/export wizard requires SSIS (see Importing and Exporting Data by Using the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard), which is not part of Express editions.
If the table is reasonable small you can use a distributed query (ie. linked server), but that will require MSDTC because it will be an update, and you may need to configure it.
If you have SqlServer Management Studio (not express). You can use the import and export options to quickly transfer data in and out. This assumes you can connect to the database from your local machine though.
Could someone suggest a shared SQL Server solution that supports DTS packages?
Update:
I was hoping to use the PostgreSQL ODBC driver and a DTS package to keep data synchronized between MSSQL server and Postgres. After getting my hands on SQL Server 2005 and attempting to do this I realized SSIS doesn't seem to play nicely with the PostgreSQL ODBC driver.
I gave up on the SSIS/DTS solution and have written a program using JDBC which runs happily on my Linux server.
I am not aware of any hosting services that provide DTS or SSIS as a feature. However, if what you are trying to achieve by using DTS/SSIS is a way to do your own backups/data transfers then I would suggest you look into the Microsoft SQL Server Database Publishing Services. Go Daddy supports it.
I have used Edgewebhosting before and used DTS packages for pushing data to sites. I have no affiliation with them, it worked well for the job.
