Can I use free SQLServer Express in my commercial windows project? Are there any license issues? How many nodes it supports in multiuser environment ?
Quick answer is Yes. I have heard of MS themselves say it is OK. See this MSDN forums thread.
SQL Server Express is distributed for free and can be used reliably in any small business application.
The Wikipedia article is quite good at highlighting the key drawbacks of using an Express edition compared to a commercial SQL Server instance. Most notable perhaps is the lack of a SQL Server Agent process, which is usually used for job scheduling.

It would be nice that tool can move database schemas from one db engine to others without lot user interference...
Can someone recomend me tool for this?
Thanks in advance
Try with navicat. It should do everithing you need...
Try on of these:
SQL Workbench/j
Aqua Data Studio
Both work on Windows, Linux and Mac.

I want to create a server that queries another web service every 5 mins and stores the result in SQL database.
I also want web functions exposed that run queries against the database.
Im not expecting a huge amount of trafic and the code should not be too complex. It a small side project.
I do not know much abou servers, I have a little experience with .NET and MS SQL server, however I want something free (or al least cheap!)
What language should I use and what IDE's and tools might I find useful?
I would use ASP.Net, Visual Web Developer Express Edition, and Microsoft SQL Server Express Edition. They are all powerful toolsets, and all free. Also, SO has a lot of questions in .NET for dealing with web services and databases that you can reference as you are developing your project.

I am developing a windows phone 7 app which will need some basic database functionality. I came across the following projects on codeplex. Has anyone tried any of these projects and can help me decide to choose one, please?

We use SQLite since you can design the database ahead of time using standard SQL commands. It works pretty well on the phone.
I've written a quick start guide here: http://wirebear.com/blog/2010/11/12/using-sqlite-in-your-wp7-app
UPDATE:
This was a valid solution pre-Mango but it is NOT what I would recommend now and it is not what we are doing. With Mango Microsoft has given new ways to use SQL CE with LINQ to SQL and is the better way to have a database in your app. A good guide to getting started can be found here: http://www.jeffblankenburg.com/2011/11/30/31-days-of-mango-day-30-local-database/
There also are other databases available for the phone (see Local Sql database support for Windows phone 7).
What's best for you will depend on your requirements:
Do you need anything in particular? transactions? relations or objects?
What's most important? reliability, performance, etc.?

Okie, I've searched it in SO and I've not found it. Can someone tell me a good open source query builder tool for working with Microsoft SQL Server databases?
DBVisualizer will do the trick. It's Opensource and can be configured to use with almost any DBMS.
DBVisualizer
DBVisualizer Query Builder
What about Management Studio? But, it is not open source.

We are currently investigating using Scimore in place of SQL Server for one of our desktop applications.
The biggest reason is that installing SQL Server is a pain as part of a deployment since we cannot control the target desktop environment. This results in a ton of failed installations due to all kind of reasons.
So, Scimore is what we are looking at right now. Has anyone got any experience in it?
SQL Server Compact Edition is a very nice product. Its mature and deeply integrated with developer studio. But its restricted:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb896140.aspx
Scimore has its advantages too.
exactly as you write, then different usage models - in process/out of process/service/distributed.
no restrictions in terms of cpu usages, database sizes, features...
easy deployment, just bundle dll's (<5Mb)
