I need to write a powershell script which runs various commands on an oracle server.
Are there Snapins or modules available for oracle like there are for SQL server etc?
I did my research but couldn't find anything.
Have a read of this blog: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/heyscriptingguy/2012/12/04/use-oracle-odp-net-and-powershell-to-simplify-data-access/
It makes reference to "Oracle Managed DataAccess provider OPD.NET" - this is what I've used when I've needed to interact with Oracle databases

I have sql azure database and to create and edit database using portal is very boring task due to it' user interface, when i will connect it with my local sql server R2 then i can not able to edit , create table from there.
Is there any way to make it possible , Please give me some solution for that
At this time, the two options available are the web user interface (which will be improved over time) and SQL Server Mgmt Studio (using queries; no user interface) for which SQL Azure support will also improve over time.
After all i found one 3rd party client to manage SQL Azure and that is RazorSQL- Awesome tool! I have write down about it in my blog, see here
Navicat is a commercial application that offers access.

Personally I vastly prefer it to the Microsoft web interface
I've been trying for quite some time to use Entity Framework with our IBM Informix databases. Hours of searching has pointed me towards installing the IBM .NET Data Server Provider, which I have installed, however when I attempt to add a new Entity Model to my project I only have the Microsoft SQL Server Data Providers listed. Am I missing a step? Is this even possible?
I am not an expert on Windows or .NET; treat any comments I make with due caution.
Installing the .NET Data Server Provider is an important first step. You now have to make sure that you can use it to connect to the Informix databases you want to manipulate. There are several things you'll need to check here:
Is the server (meaning the Informix instance) configured to allow DRDA connections?
By default, it probably isn't.
If you're the DBSA (database system administrator), you'll need to check that you've enabled 'drsoctcp' connections on the system, and configured a server alias to use that connection.
If you're not the DBSA, you'll need to chat with your DBSA to get the relevant information.
Assuming that you have DRDA connectivity enabled at the server side, you then need to ensure you have an appropriately configured ... DSN? Your client code needs to be able to connect to the server.
There is no reason I'm aware of why it cannot be done. However, I don't know exactly how to guide you step-by-step through any of the above.
You might need to seek assistance from IBM Technical Support.
You would help everyone if you clarified which version of Informix (the DBMS) you have, along with the version information for the platform where it is running (whether Windows or Unix, and the o/s version information) - and which version of the Data Server Provider you are using (and which variant of Windows you are using it on).
I wish to make fields in a remote public Sybase database outlined at http://www.informatics.jax.org/software.shtml#sql appear locally in our DB2 project's schema. To do this, I was going to use data federation, however I can't seem to be able to install the data source library (Sybase-specific file libdb2ctlib.so for Linux) because only DB2 and Infomatix work OOTB with DB2 Express-C v9.5 (which is the version we're currently running, I also tried the latest V9.7.)
From unclear IBM documentation and forum posts, the best I can gather is we need to spend $675 on http://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/infosphere/federation-server/ to get support for Sybase but budget-wise that's a bit out of the question.
So is there a free method using previous tool versions (as it seems DB2 Information Integrator was rebranded as InfoSphere Federation Server) to setup DB2 data wrappers for Sybase? Alternatively, is there another non-MySQL approach we can use, such as switching our local DBMS from DB2 to PostgreSQL? Does the latter support data integration/federation?
DB2 Express-C does not allow federated links to any remote database, not even other DB2 databases. You are correct that InfoSphere Federation Server is required to federate DB2 to a Sybase data source. I don't know if PostgreSQL supports federated links to Sybase.
Derek, there are several ways in which one can create a federated database. One is by using the federated database capability that is built in to DB2 Express-C. However, DB2 Express-C can only federate data from specific data sources i.e. other DB2 databases and industry standard web services. To add Sybase to this list you must purchase IBM Federation Server product.
The other way is to leverage DB2 capability to create User Defined Functions in DB2 Express-C that use OLE DB API to access other data sources. Because OLE DB is a Windows-based technology, only DB2 servers running on Windows can do that. What you do is create a table UDF that you can then use anywhere you would expect to see a table result set e.g view definition. For example, you could define a view that uses your UDF to materialize the results. These results would come from a query (via OLE DB) of your Sybase data (or any other OLE DB compliant data source).

I've created an app that connects remotely to SQL Server 2008. SQL connections work and all traditional oCommand.ExecuteNonQuery(), work great!
But my SMO class using server.ConnectionContext.ExecuteNonQuery(scriptfile);
ERROR: missing batch parsing.dll .
I can't install these independent utils on a client machines, and then take them all off when done:
as suggested by: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=228de03f-3b5a-428a-923f-58a033d316e1
Since my bulk-inserts are large memory hogs containing complete tables, I wrote the tables to a temptable.sql files and used SQLCMD Util and later switch too SMO and I have the same problem. Neither of these can be leveraged on the client's PCs . Any suggestion? thanks :-)
Well, two things:
if you want to use SMO in your apps, you need to make sure the SMO components are installed on the client machines. You can grab the SMO binaries from Microsoft and you can ship and install them with your app - but that's the only way you'll get those onto the client's computer legally
if you can't do that, how about checking out the SqlBulkCopy class. This is designed specifically for bulk inserting large volumes of data, it's part of ADO.NET 2.0 - no extra installs. There's a whole section in the MSDN library on SQL Server Bulk Operations - check it out!
Is there such a thing as a shell-based command-line client for Microsoft's Jet database engine?
Something similar to SQLite 3.x (sqlite3.exe) for SQLite.
Will PowerShell be suitable? Fellow MVP Richard Siddaway has started a very interesting series of blog postings on using PowerShell and Access. You can ignore the Office 2010 tag on his blog postings. Also note that I know nothing about PowerShell.
This may suit:
Cscript.exe is a command-line version
of the Windows Script Host that
provides command-line options for
setting script properties.
With Cscript.exe, you can run scripts
by typing the name of a script file at
the command prompt. Like Microsoft
Internet Explorer, Windows Script Host
serves as a controller of Windows
Script compliant scripting engines,
but Windows Script Host has very low
memory requirements. Windows Script
Host is ideal for both interactive and
non-interactive scripting needs, such
as logon scripting and administrative
scripting.
Windows Script Host supports scripts
written in VBScript or JScript.

Something like osql with the right data provider? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa214012(SQL.80).aspx
Entering the conversation here 10 years after the original question, but I've played with a couple of tools that should work:
YouAccess (http://youaccess.sourceforge.net): "YouAccess is a free (donationware) lifesaver console µapplication intended for SQL management of Microsoft® Access™ databases from command line, including creating them."
JetSQLConsole (https://sourceforge.net/projects/jetsqlconsole): "A command line/console interface for Microsoft Access databases, very similar to the MySQL client application."
