sharepoint 2007 from sql server to oracle - sql-server

I installed WSS 2007 on one of our test server to see if sharepoint is worth going forward for our group. The problem is, it installed a version of sql server and we are using oracle. So, I will need to move sharepoint from sql server to oracle. We can't use sql server we have to use oracle.
I have two questions:
1. sql server to oracle transition for sharepoint
2. Is there a performance drawback when we move from sql server to oracle with sharepoint.
I tried to look for resources on web but couldn't find much. Any ideas/help would be appreciated.

This is not possible - SharePoint can only run on SQL Server:
Installation Guide for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
The database server must be running
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or Microsoft
SQL Server 2000 with the most recent
service pack.
Enterprise Sharepoint? – Port it to Oracle
I have concluded my only real problem
with SharePoint is that you can’t run
it on Oracle.
If you had shown me SharePoint, not
told me it was from Microsoft and said
you can use it with Oracle as a back
end, I am sure my reaction to it would
have been far different.

Can you use DBeaver to manage SQL Server?

All, I'm very new to DBeaver. I've installed the Lite edition and am liking it for the most part. However, I'm missing many of the SQL Server administration bits that I'm used to seeing in SQL Server Management Studio such as SQL Server Agent Jobs, Security, etc. Am I just missing this option, do I need a version other than Lite, or is this just functionality that does not exist in DBeaver?

Migration of SQL Server 2012 database to Oracle 12c

I'm trying to migrate a SQL Server 2012 database backup file, which I wanted to migrate to Oracle 12c. I tried to use SQL Developer tool for migration using this reference:
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/hol08/sqldev_migration/mssqlserver/migrate_microsoft_sqlserver_otn.htm
The problem is in SQL Developer tool, I didn't see any option where I can generate database capture script for SQL Server 2012, because there is no option which is showing up there.
I'm open for other suggestions as well. the SQL Server is installed on my same system, where I've installed Oracle 12c, so even if there is way by which we can directly connect with SQL Server on my local system.
Hello for migration from SQL SERVER to Oracle. There are many articles are available on web. You can google it. For as one reference use this article and try for migration of data.

R services in SQL Server 2016

Recently, a tech support specialist installed SQL Server 2016 Management Studio in my computer. When I asked about the possibility of using integrated R services in SSMS, he said I need to have stand alone SQL server installed in order to use that feature (which is not going to happen as individual license is pretty expensive).
Can somebody shed some light on using R services from SQL server 2016? Do I really need stand alone SQL server? or there is a workaround?
Thank you

SQL Server 2016 Management Studio is a client tool that connects to the Microsoft SQL Server 2016. If R-service already installed (as part of setup wizard, if you have chosen Database Engine Services and R-Services (In-Database)), you can connect to the SQL Server and execute R-script from Management Studio setup in your machine.

Report Services (SSRS) 2005 connect database in Microsoft SQL Server 2014

Currently I am working on a project it is request us to connect their database (Server A with Microsoft SQL Server 2014) via SSRS (Server B with Microsoft SQL Server 2005).
I keep facing the problem with this message :
The version of the report server database is either in a format that
is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is '162'. The
expected version is 'C.0.8.54'. To continue, update the version of the
report server database and verify access rights.
(rsInvalidReportServerDatabase) (rsRPCError) Get Online Help
Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot.
I think the problem is likely to be that the ReportServer database has been created using SQL Server 2014. Trying to connection a SQL Server 2005 Report Server installation to that database will not work because they are not compatible. If it is possible to run Reporting Services with a configuration like this at all, and I'm not sure that it is, you will need to have a ReportServer database that was created using SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Configuration Manager.

Where to get Microsoft SQL Management Studio when using Amazon RDS SQL servers?

My company is interested in using Amazon's RDS service for our Microsoft SQL Server Web Edition. However, we are a bit confused on how to actually connect to the database to initialize it.
In the Amazon Getting Started Documentation it simply says "2. Run Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio". Where would I obtain this management studio if the reason I am using Amazon RDS is to avoid buying a SQL Server license in the first place? Are there other programs that can do the same?
The connection settings from there seems very straight forward, but we're left looking for the actual software to connect.
Microsoft Sql Server Management Studio is only available with a Sql Server Licence. You could get a copy of Sql Developer Edition. That also has Management Studio and is much cheaper.
