I have a SQL Server Express database that I would like to compare them to each other.
But I couldn't open them in Red Gate.
My question is: can I open SQL Server Express local db in Red Gate? (Red Gate required server name but I haven't)
I assume you are talking about Red-Gate's SQL Compare.
If so, here is an official list of what SQL Server versions they officially support:
Supported Versions
I would think you should be able to compare SQL Server Express editions, though for an official word, I would open a ticket with Red Gate Support.
Good luck!

I installed oracle SQL Developer, but I am not having any connection string to connect to database.
How can I connect first time?
SQL Developer is a desktop application. It serves as a client for working with an Oracle database.
But, it’s NOT a database, nor does it come with one.
And you’re going to need a database.
You have lots of options going forward. I've tried to detail all of them here.
TL;DR version:
Oracle XE, free to use for any purpose (works just fine in Docker)
Our VirtualBox Appliance - very easy to get going, free to use for learning purposes
LiveSQL - a website you can use to learn Oracle, with nothing to install
And something my article doesn't address, Always Free Oracle Autonomous Database Cloud Service.
I have SQL Server 2008 R2 on my computer and I want to use data mining with this version of SQL Server. My question is how can I do this? Because I've read some where that I can use data mining in SQL Server evaluation edition. I can use data mining in SQL Server 2008 R2?.
And I have one other problem when I want to use SQL Server 2008 Data Mining Add-Ins I can't connect to SQL Server and displays this error message.
Unable to connect to server 'localhost'. Please make sure user '' has at least read permission to some database on the server.
First you should get SQL Server Data Tools which runs in Visual Studio.
You will need Analysis Services installed; if you don't have it just run the SQL Server installer again and look for the option to install it.
After that you can take a look at this post I wrote a few months ago:
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic480010-147-1.aspx
I wrote it specifically targeting the Neural Network models, but it contains details on several background steps you will need to do.
Finally - since you're using an evaluation version, you may want to just go for SQL Server 2012 (that's what I use, so I know it works).
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

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 am using SQL Server 2008 on Windows Server 2003. I want to use a linked server to open a Visual Foxpro DBF file, using driver Microsoft OLD DB Provider for Visual Foxpro from SQL Server 2008 linked server feature.
When I establish linked server connection by using Microsoft OLD DB Provider for Visual Foxpro, to open a Foxpro DBF file, I meet with the following error, any ideas what is wrong?
Can not retrieve required data from this request (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Src)
Meeting exception when executing Transact-SQL or batch (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
Error from Microsoft OLD DB Provider interface "VFPOLEDB" of linked server "DBFServer", access is defined.
Can not retrieved required interface "IID_IDBSchemaRowset" from OLE DB interface "VFPOLEDB" of linked server "DBFServer"
(Microsoft SQL Server error 7399)

George
Check 'Allow Inprocess' on the VFPOLEDB provider:
See Cindy Winegarden's answer on http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sqlreportingservices/thread/e54d20dd-b65b-4cff-9349-6499e6e069e2 for how to do it.
Edit: this is the relevant part of the answer:
Here's what Stepahnie posted to her thread in the
microsoft.public.data.oledb NNTP newsgroup on April 10:
"Finally, I found an option ' Allow inprocess' in linked server ->
providers -> VFPOLEDB in MSSQL2005. With enable this option, I can
connect to vfp with oledb. While diabling this option, it works only
50% with successful connection....
And I have another MSSQL2005 with the same setup (except the option
'allow inprocess' disabled), all the connection make to vfp is 100%
successful... "
I looked and found that, as she said, in Server Objects > Linked
Servers > Providers > VFPOLEDB > General tab > Provider options >
Allow inprocess. Also, you can change the InProcess setting with the
following code:
USE [master]
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_MSset_oledb_prop N'VFPOLEDB', N'AllowInProcess', 1
GO
