Import Oracle Database into Database Project - sql-server

I'd like to be able to use a Visual Studio Database Project against an Oracle server.
I can successfully connect it against an instance of SQL Server with no problems, however when I attempt to connect to Oracle the datasource button is greyed out:
I sincerely hope that it's possible to use this against Oracle. However if not are there any alternatives / workarounds.

You will need to install the following:
Oracle Data Provider for .NET
Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio

How can I install the default Microsoft SQL Server that comes with VS22?

On my PC, I messed up the default installation of the SQL Server that comes with VS22.
I managed to install SQL Server manually again, but I have to write a database class library using EF Core.
For that I have a connection string as follows:
Data Source=(localdb)\\MSSQLLOCALDB;Initial Catalog=TestDB;Integrated Security=True
I've been told that EF will create the database as needed after the name given in the connection string.
This works fine on my new laptop on which I did not touch the SQL Server. On my PC it does not work though.
What do I have to do to get the "default" installation of the SQL Server?
You can install LocalDB through the Visual Studio Installer, as part of the Data Storage and Processing workload, the ASP.NET and web development workload, or as an individual component.
The steps in Visual Studio Installer are as follows:
First select Modity, then select SQL Server Express LocalDB in Installation details. Hope it helps you.

SQL Server Import and Export Wizard has stopped working

Am trying to use the Import and Export Wizard within Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (right click database name > Tasks > Import Data) but immediately get this error;
SQL Server Import and Export Wizard has stopped working
This process has been working fine until this week when IT have upgraded us from MSSMS v17.6 to v18.9 (component and version info below)
SQL Server Management Studio 15.0.18382.0
SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) 16.100.46337.53
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools 15.0.19535.0
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 10.0.19041.1
Microsoft MSXML 3.0 6.0
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.30319.42000
Operating System 10.0.19044
IT are unable to troubleshoot and resolve the problem, but I'm guessing something is wrong with the install of the newer version of MSSMS. Any ideas or assistance to aid resolution gratefully received.
It happened to me, too. I read some threads saying that if you install SQL Server Data Tool, the wizard and SQL Job property window stop working altogether. Launching the wizard within Visual Studio works fine.

MS Access to SQL Server

I am trying to move my rapidly growing MS Access 2016 database to a SQL Server back end and build an asp.net front end. I am trying to migrate data from the Access database to an instance of SQL server 2014 but this is not going so well. I tried to migrate it using the MS Migration Assistant but this is not supported for versions after 2010. Does anyone know an easy way to convert Access tables to SQL Server?
Thanks in advance.
The only migration assistant that was depreciated was the one built into Access. So you are correct that after Access 2010, the migration system is removed.
However, there is a SQL Migration Assistant for Access that can be used here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54255
The above SSMA for Access is better than the old migration assent and is designed for upgrading Access to SQL server.
NOTE CAREFULLY that the shortcut on the desktop is for office x64 which FEW have, so make sure you launch the x32 bit version of SSMA – you find the shortcut to x32 in the programs folder (or just type I SSMA in windows 10 and select the x32 version.
AGAIN:
Make sure you follow above to launch the x32 version else it will not work.
Create your database in SQLServer
In Management studio, Right click on your database. Go to
Tasks

This should bring up the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard
In Data source, choose Microsoft Access. I have 3 choices in my test server. I'm not sure what one to use, so it might pay to play around.
Follow the Wizard, which should get you to were you want to be

How do I create/add a sql server compact edition db in vs2010?

I have vs2010 ultimate installed and sql server 2008 developer. I created a package using the openAuth Extension from the online gallery and can not find an option to add a sql server CE db to my project. I tried changing the target framework to 4.0 and still nothing.
I see a type that says SQL Server Database, but I believed that was for a full blown db to attach to sql server.
Where is compact?
You first need to add it in the Server explorer even if it's new.
Here is the link on how to do it.
