Could someone suggest a shared SQL Server solution that supports DTS packages?
Update:
I was hoping to use the PostgreSQL ODBC driver and a DTS package to keep data synchronized between MSSQL server and Postgres. After getting my hands on SQL Server 2005 and attempting to do this I realized SSIS doesn't seem to play nicely with the PostgreSQL ODBC driver.
I gave up on the SSIS/DTS solution and have written a program using JDBC which runs happily on my Linux server.
I am not aware of any hosting services that provide DTS or SSIS as a feature. However, if what you are trying to achieve by using DTS/SSIS is a way to do your own backups/data transfers then I would suggest you look into the Microsoft SQL Server Database Publishing Services. Go Daddy supports it.
I have used Edgewebhosting before and used DTS packages for pushing data to sites. I have no affiliation with them, it worked well for the job.

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
Import data
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
To automate migration from Microsoft Access database(s) to SQL Server
SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) is a free supported tool
A video tutorial and all procedure I posted on the blog:
https://www.imran.xyz/convert-microsoft-access-database-to-sql-server-database/
You can download it from Microsoft
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54255
Regarding the following images, I have obviously installed the Microsoft SQL Server, but I can't find the exe-file or anything named Microsoft SQL Server in the start menu.
Anyone who knows what to do to solve this, or do I need to install something more?
SQL Server runs as a service. You can start and stop it from windows services. SSMS is a gui tool for managing ddl (creating and altering tables and index's for example) and dml (writing queries to inquire, update or add data to databases).SSMS comes free with every edition of SQL server - perhaps you didn't tick a box when installing? You can also do this stuff the old fashioned way using sqlcmd from command line(DBAs love this for some reason) but for us mortals SSMS is much less of a struggle. As an aside there are other guis such as Toad (expensive) and Heidisql (free) amongst others which will do the job.
Looks like you have the engine. What you've got to do now is install SQL Server Management Studio: https://msdn.microsoft.com/hr-hr/library/mt238290.aspx
Looks like you have the various SQL Server components that are installed by Visual Studio (recent version) or SQL Server Data Tools (as used by VS).
I have Informatica 9 and an Oracle database in my system. Now I want to install a SQL Server database in my system and add this database to Informatica.
Is that possible ?
Purpose: I need to migrate some of the tables from SQL Server to Oracle database using informatica.
Could anyone let me know, after installing SQL Server, how can I add this SQL Server database to informatica for creating mapping?
Thanks
Sreedhar
Installing the SQL server software on your system and getting informatica to talk to that are entirely different things.
You can for sure install SQL server on your Informatica server system, till the time you are dealing with some varient of Windows. Informatica can be installed on *nix flavours but not SQL server. If your informatica server is not on windows varients, you need to have a separate windows box for sql server installation.
Getting informatica to talk to sql server is going to be dependent upon the platform keys that you have for Informatica. Having the driver and everything is fine, but finally informatica allows interaction to OS/databases based on the platform keys, these keys are normally purchased and have therefore price attached to every additional environemnt/database you want to access.

What are the available Sybase GUI clients for Windows.
I have tried DBVisualizer and RazorSQL any other recommendations. Free preferred
u can try "Interactive SQL" which shipped with Sybase 15 Client, it's better than Sql Advantage, and it's free to download via. Sybase website.
One other solution would be sqlDeveloper from oracle (if you are used to it). You can make it work with Sybase databases by downloading the jTDS driver. Then you can go to sqlDeveloper and choose Tools -> Preferences -> Database -> Third Party JDBC driver. It will work like a charm.
I find it very convinient as i was used to sqlDeveloper, so i can add any driver for any DB provider i want.
You can try a non commercial client TOAD for sybase
and a comercial client like dbArtisan that allows you debug of the stored procedures what for me its very usefull.
I like SQL Workbench/J, sort of like DBVisualiser but entirely free. It can connect to a lot of databases (that have JDBC drivers) and has a handy datapump/data replication tool, that can also be used in batch mode.
Aqua Data Studio seems popular with the clients I work with. But I generally use the tools from Sybase : Interactive SQL (SQL Editor) and Sybase Central (Data Schema, Debugger etc)
Other possible tools could be Squirrel and DBeaver. Both are open-source and free.
Here are some links : dbeaver.jkiss.org
squirrel-sql.sourceforge.net .
SQuirreL SQL Client is a graphical SQL client written in Java that will allow you to view the structure of a JDBC compliant database, browse the data in tables, issue SQL commands etc.
DBeaver will let you do all basic DDL and DML functions, DB object script extraction etc. Various plugins exist e.g DBDiff Plugin which lets you compare objects between two different sessions
Workbench/J is a good choice. It can work with Oracle/Sybase/Informix and other databases.
Setup SQL Workbench/J to connect to sybase in Ubuntu 14.0.4
Install SCN SDK "https://store.sap.com/sap/cpa/ui/resources/store/html/SolutionDetails.html?pid=0000013451&catID=&pcntry=US&sap-language=EN&_cp_id=id-1417018812660-0"
unzip the file.
create /opt/sap and chown sap:sap /opt/sap -- sap is the owner for software
run setup.bin after unzip the linux.tgz
In SQL Workbench Setup jdbc connection pointing to "/opt/sap/jConnect-16_0/classes/jconn4.jar"
Setup sybase connection URL to be jdbc:sybase:Tds::
e.g. jdbs:sybase:Tds:sybase1:5000
I have access to an Oracle server that has some databases that I would like to access. However, the machine that I have access from has none of the oracle client software. Is there any alternative to oracle's client software the provides the functionality of something like MySQL's mysql or Postgres' psql? I'd like to be able to poke around a bit in the database before writing software against it.
If you download the free Oracle Instant Client you'd be able to use any JDBC or ODBC Database tool such as DbVisualizer or SquirrelSQL. Those are GUI tools; I've not come across a JDBC command line tool but there may be one out there.
Alternatively, there is an Instant Client version of SQL*Plus which will give you an Oracle sqlplus command line without a full Oracle install.
Oracle's free PL/SQL IDE SQL Developer can use Type 4 JDBC drivers to connect to a number of different types of databases, obviously including Oracle. You can use that without doing any sort of Oracle client install if you so desired.
You could try the Oracle IDE SQL Developer which is a free download. It is written in Java and is available for both windows and linux. It is self contained and doesn't require the Oracle client be installed.
SQLPal (http://www.sqlpal.com/) is a lightweight SqlPlus like application for Windows that does not require the oracle client.
