Use SQL Server 2012 as DB for WSO2 Governance Registry - deployment

Do you have experiences from running WSO2 Governance Registry with SQL Server 2012 (SP1) as a RDBMS? Do you think it will work fine? This is the preferred RDBMS in my organization.
Alternative RDBMSs are MySQL 5x and Oracle 11g. Are there any strong reasons why I would choose one of these alternatives, or yet another alternative, instead of SQL Server?

Ideally any relational database should be possible to use. This would help, http://docs.wso2.org/wiki/display/Governance453/Changing+the+RDBMS

Oracle SQL Developer first-time user: no connection string

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.

Use data mining in SQL Server 2008 R2

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).

How can I create & edit database of Sql Azure using SQL Server 2008 - R2

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

How do I setup DB2 Express-C Data Federation for a Sybase data source?

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).

how to backup oracle 10g

how i can backup oracle 10g like backup and restore in sql server ?
i want to backup tables and data
thank's in advance
Oracle has a comprehensive backup and recovery suite which is formally called Recovery Manager but is universally known as RMAN. Find out more.
The typical term for this is 'migrate' not 'backup'. You'll then find results in your favorite search engine to tools like:
SQL Server Migration Assistant for Oracle
If you only want table structures and data (no code), you can use SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package for this.
Read up here on the various methods and their associated speed

Oracle export data pump (expdp) is also good utility to take logical backup of your schema. You have very nice features with lot of flexibility in data pump. You can follow the link given below for further reading.
