is there a good freeware that generates fake data for SQL Server? It would be really great if the tool generate the data according to foreign key (other constraints). Its such a repetitive task I am sure there must be a good tool for this but somehow i cant seem to find it.
If you cannot find a free version, RedGate produce a commercial one called SQL Data Generator.
other commercial tools.
1.EMS Data Generator for SQL Server
2.IRI RowGen, for multiple DBs and flat files, uses Eclipse GUI
3.Xentrix
I've always written my own. It rarely takes very long to write. This way I know what I'm dealing with and if it's not correct, then I can tweak as needed and re-run it.

I want to know what are the different techniques & tools used for database versioning and migration. I am also interested in saving a snapshot of the data along with the schema changes. Would that be a good practice?
I have come across tools like alembic and sqitch, although I haven't used either. I have around 200 table in PostgreSQL.
Thanks
Read about using Liquibase with PostrgeSQL
Ask you DBA to create data- (or full) dumps, which you store with ALTER-dumps of Liquibase

I'm looking for oracle admin tool like SQL Buddy (here). I just want to use the browser to test my querys.
For just to test querys you can try iSQL (but it is deprecated in 11g)
or may be look to http://www.oracletool.com/
You could try using APEX. It isn't specifically an admin tool (more for power-users/developers), but it is built-in on newer databases. You can write SQLs, build packages and procedures, view and filter data, etc.
While not web based I would suggest Oracle's (free) Sql Developer http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/sql-developer/downloads/index.html
or (also free/OSS) Squirrel:
http://squirrel-sql.sourceforge.net/
The best for me is SQLTool (http://www.sqltools.net/), it´s free, faster, easy to use and has a lot of option.
Although they're not web-based, I like toad and sqldeveloper. The former is commercial software, but very good - the latter is currently free (but long-term....?).

currently i use db visualiser for connecting the netezza database. can you suggest any otehr alternative (freeware) for the same.
Check out Aginity Netezza Workbench www.aginity.com.
I haven't found anything better than DBVis. Make sure you are using the loaded JDBC drivers for netezza instead of the ODBC data source.
I broke down and got the paid version. very good stuff. You can run multiple query windows and explorers at once.
Other software includes RazorSQL or any number of other softwares like SQLassistant, SQLdeveloper, etc can be setup to run against netezza.
You should try using this project.

I'm looking for a good reference card / cheat sheet that compares T-SQL and PL/SQL data manipulation language commands side-by-side.
I've previously searched SO but there isn't any older thread covering this particular subject so I thought it'd be a good idea to start one, given that such reference is almost mandatory if you happen to work in an environment where both technologies coexist.
Thanks much in advance!
This is pretty good. In ye olde paper and inke, SQL in a nutshell is also useful.
I found this PDF which goes into detail about syntax examples between the two:
Note: The PDF is from 2003 so it may not be update to date with new features from SQL Server 2005 or 2008 (such as the RowNum() function).

I´m looking for a unit tests framework for database development. I´m currently developing for SQL Server 2000, 2005 and 2008. Do you know of any good frameworks with similar functionality as JUnit and NUnit?
Perhaps it´s better to ask, what do you use to unit test your stored procedures and user defined functions?
There is TSQLUnit... Link here: http://tsqlunit.sourceforge.net/
I tend to use a data access assembly and test that with NUnit using the idea outlined in
http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/articles/dbunittesting.aspx
it uses transactions to rollback changes. This is not a dedicated database approach but is good if you want to test at a higher level than pure database.
It may be worth having a look at http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/archive/2004/07/12/180189.aspx
I'm currently using DBUnit in my project. It's quite a good tool to test a database to see if the results you expect are there, but also it can alter the data in a database to predefined values, for example, it will reset a database to the data you were using before the tests, leaving the tables unchanged.

I've also come across T.S.T. the T-SQL Test Tool
