Is it possible to install Microsoft SQL Server v.Next on Debian? - sql-server

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.

How do I install Oracle Enterprise Repository 12c on Macbook?

I am trying to install the Oracle SOA stack of products on my MacBook but I am stuck at one very crucial point. Need a database on my machine for OER but cannot figure out what to do?
Here is what I have already done:
Successfully installed Oracle SOA Suite 12c
I have downloaded OER
I have tried installing Oracle Database 12c, with Linux version even though as there is no download choice for Mac. I faced following error : ./runInstaller: line 252: /Users/madhu/Oracle/product/18.0.0/dbhome_1/install/.oui: cannot execute binary file
I checked supported database for OER but did not find MySQL or SQLlite or any other product than Oracle and Microsoft SQL server.
Microsoft SQL server is obviously not supported in MacOS
So at the as for OER a database is essential and I cannot install any supported database on MacBook.
Can you please help me?
Even if the installer script doesn't instantly fail, that doesn't mean that the Linux version of ODB 12c will magically work on OS X.
Install ODB or SQL Server on something else and configure OER to connect to it. That "something else" can be a virtual machine running on your Mac.
Install VirtualBox (or your preferred hypervisor);
Install Linux or Windows on a virtual machine;
Install and configure Oracle Database or SQL Server on that VM;
Consult the manual to configure networking for your virtual machine so the database is accessible from your host machine.
WebLogic will run on the Mac but FMW/SOA will not - at least not stable. Neither will the database.
& I know I teach/install/admin these products and am a certified Oracle trainer. I’ve tried...my time was worth more than it took to try and get it to work outside a vm-natively. I assume yours is too.
Unless you are actively trying to learn how to install them, then yes #backgammon is right, install them in a VM.
BUT, if you just want to use them and are not as interested in installation, then use one of the prebuilt -preconfigured FMW virtual box images here that will run on the Mac under virtual box.
Then Install OER in that image.
But, be advised OER is no longer sold by Oracle, even though it’s available for download.
It has been replaced by the API cloud service product.

Installing ngpsql to use PostgreSQL in PowerBI

I'm trying to get data from a PostgreSQL database into PowerBI Desktop but it doesn't seem to work. I think the problem is with the installation with npgsql. When trying to setup a new database connection in PowerBI I type in the database and server, and this is the error message I get:
"Unable to connect
Details: "PostgreSQL: We were unable to find a database provider with invariant name 'Npgsql'.
This error could've been the result of provider-specific client software being required, but missing on this computer. To download client software for this provider, visit the following site and choose the 64-bit (x64) version of, at minimum, 'Npgsql version 2.0.12': https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=282716""
I've tried going npgsql website and install the required components but I can't seem to get it working. I'm not a developer so this is a bit complicated for me. Does anyone know how to get these components installed? I very much appreciate your help!
I'm using Windows 10 on a Surface Pro 3 if this helps. And I do have Visual Studio Community installed as well.
Best,
Bruno.
I have downloaded and tried it with version 3.6.6
Install npgsql
During the installation stage, enabled "Npgsql GAC Installation" as GAC requires Npgsql.
Restart the PC.
It should work now.
The solution from this page helped me: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Configuring-Power-BI-Connectivity-to-PostgreSQL-Database/ba-p/12567
Select the option to install to the GAC during install of the program npgsql v3.x.x downloaded from this page https://github.com/npgsql/Npgsql/releases
It worked for me (although I do not know why:-)
When you install Npgsql you should enable installation into the GAC.
Otherwise component will not be automatically detectable to other programs.

Access to SQLServer with Node.js on Linux

I'm trying to write a REST service with Node.js and Express and I need to connect to a SLQServer 2000 database. I've tried the Microsoft connector but it's not working on linux, according to them:
The Microsoft Driver for Node.JS for SQL Server is currently available
as a preview release, and relies on run-time components that are only
available on the Microsoft Windows and Windows Azure operating
systems.
I've also tried node.js's modules tdm and tedious with no success... Any idea?
Check out tedious again. Version 0.2 fixed compatibility with TDS 7.1 (SQL Server 2000).
Have you tried Edge.js?
Leverage SQL Server with node.js.
npm install mssql
I believe that to be the generally accepted best solution
You can use Espresso Logicto create a REST API and then call that from .NodeJS
Even if its a year old question, thought of answering it as it is the first thing that shows up in google for the question.
There is node-sqlserver maintained by Microsoft. The last commit was made 5 months ago though.
Install with $ npm install msnodesql .

can we install sqlserver2005 before installing vs2005?

I want to install sqlserver2005 on my server2003 machine. I heard that sqlserver2005 should be installed prior to visualstudio2005. Is it right or wrong?
can we install sqlserver2005 before installing vs2005? - Yes
i heard that sqlserver2005 should be installed prior to visualstudio2005. is it right or wrong? - not necessarily, but it depends on what parts of SQL you are using.
This link should give you the answer
In short
The issue is that if you install
Visual Studio first, SQL Server
Express will be installed if there is
not a local instance of SQL already
installed. When you later attempt to
install the SQL Server 2005
workstation tools it will fail, but
you are not blatantly alerted to that
fact.
They are independent of each other. It shouldn't make a difference which one you install first.
