Does anyone know if there is a tool to migrate a Microsoft SQL Server database to Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere? I personally used Google quite a lot but unfortunately no answers.
What do you think about this article?

I am very naive to Microsoft SQL Server and SQL in general so excuse my ignorance.
We have this Microsoft SQL Server where we store our data from monitoring software. I need to run some queries and need to take a look at some data. Is there any way I don't have to remote into SQL Server to run these select queries?
Some sort of portal or light software I can download which connects to SQL Server and lets me do this.
Thanks in advance.
Use the SQL Server Management Studio. It can be downloaded separately.

All you need is SQL Management Studio. You can download it using this link: SQL Server 2014 Express. Please be sure to check the details to know the packages to select. Make sure to get the management studio checked.

I am migrating a large (500 GB) database containing several hundred tables and a few database functions from PostgreSQL 8.0 to Microsoft SQL Server 2008.
Is there a website (or book) that details differences I need to be aware of (data types, stored procedure functionality, etc.)?
I am fairly familiar with PostgreSQL, but just learning SQL Server.
Any SQL Server book recommendations would also be appreciated.
Thanks.
Take a look at these links:

This is going the other way, but has some of the information you need.

Are there any client options for querying a SQL Server database other than SQL Server Management Studio?

I'm a fan of sql dbx, it's fast and light, but the free version is limited to only 1 connection. I use it for sql server, oracle and sybase.
SQLCMD.exe is included with MSSQL when you install the tools, but most people use SSMS.
Redgate tools are my favorite. But most of them are paid versions and expensive.

Should I be scared of upgrading the database to SQL Server 2008?
Is it a simple auto-upgrade and everything works?
Is it worth it?
The upgrade from SQL Server 2005 to 2008 is a lot less "scary" than the upgrade from SQL Server 2000 to 2005. There are fewer T-SQL enhancements this time around, and the tools to manage SQL Server are very similar (so less of a learning curve).
The one thing that most people forget to do is to change the compatibility level of their databases after the server has been upgraded; you need to do this in order to use the new features inside a particular database after the server has been upgraded.
Perhaps you need to check out the features before asking a question like this.
Here's a link.

I currently have a SQL Server (Express 2005) database to hold some transaction/metadata that I now want to migrate to Oracle 10g express instance.
Can you do this programmatically or is there a decent software tool that anyone can recommend?
Oracle Migration Workbench is included in SQL Developer. Check it out to see if it meets your needs.
