Are there any differences between the built-in database in visual studio and an external database like sql server or oracle? Which one is more used and reliable?
See here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jerrynixon/archive/2012/02/26/sql-express-v-localdb-v-sql-compact-edition.aspx
LocalDB is created specifically for developers. It is very easy to
install and requires no management, yet it offers the same T-SQL
language, programming surface and client-side providers as the regular
SQL Server Express. In effect the developers that target SQL Server no
longer have to install and manage a full instance of SQL Server
Express on their laptops and other development machines.

I have started learning about SQL in my university course and finding SQL as a new developer was confusing. A because there was no user interface and B because so many other tools were installed as well. What is the reason behind having no user interface for SQL but the set of tools? Is it not easier to combine them together (tell me if I have missed any details).
As a developer you can use SQL Server Management Studio(SSMS) as a user interface
or SQL Server data Tools (SSDT)
It is true you need to download them and install separately

I'm working with Windows Server Core 1709, using SMB file share support for SQL containers. Support for small databases works well (allowing time to copy databases), but now I face the need for provisioning environments that include databases of 100's of GB in size. I've worked in the past with SAN based snapshots, but don't have access to these resources. Is anyone familiar with SQL Server database cloning that could be employed for this use-case?
Windocks has just released database cloning support for Docker SQL Server containers, all versions and editions SQL 2008 forward. Take a look at https://www.windocks.com/docker-sql-server-containers

I am unable to connect to a server in Microsoft SQL Server 2014. As you can see in the image below there doesn't seem to be any Server services. Any idea what I could be missing to make this work? Also in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio I tried different types of Server names, like COMPUTER_NAME\SQLEXPRESS and still does not work.
I think you have not completed the installation of sqlserver , if full installation is complete you can find sql server in (win+R)and search ssms after that you can open through it.

What is the process for doing this ? I need to do this as my client does not want reporting off the live oracle database and want to put it on a sql server database as people there are familar with that database.
If you are looking to migrate completely then Microsoft have a Migration Assistant which is very good http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh302876(v=sql.105).aspx , alternatively if you are looking to import some of the data into SQL Server then a standard ETL package in SQL Server Integration Services should do what you need.

Can anyone tell me what is the limitations of this version like some features not to be supported or something.
I am going to create this type of Windows Azure VM for my application.
The full control of sql and Compatibility is my first consideration.
Thanks
The SQL Server 2012 running in Windows AzureVM is exact version which you have installed by your own and the only difference is that it is evaluation version so you can try it before make it final. Once you have tried it and know this is what you want, you can have your own SQL Server 2012 running on a VM you could create to fit your need.
