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 would like to create an automated data pulling from our PostgreSQL database to a Google sheet. I've tried JDBC service, but it doesn't work, maybe incorrect variables/config. Does anyone already try doing this? I'd also like to schedule the extraction every hour.
According the the documentation, only Google Cloud SQL MySQL, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle databases are supported by Apps Script's JDBC. You may have to either move to a new database or develop your own API services to handle the connection.
As for scheduling by the hour, you can use Apps Script's installable triggers.
we are using 2018.3 version of Tableau Server. The server stats like user login, and other stats are getting logged into PostgreSQL DB. and the same being cleared regularly after 1 week.
Is there any API available in Tableau to connect the DB and take backup of data somewhere like HDFS or any place in Linux server.
Kindly let me know if there are any other way other than API as well.
Thanks.
You can enable access to the underlying PostgreSQL repository database with the tsm command. Here is a link to the documentation for your (older) version of Tableau
https://help.tableau.com/v2018.3/server/en-us/cli_data-access.htm#repository-access-enable
It would be good security practice to limit access to only the machines (whitelisted) that need it, create or use an existing read-only account to access the repository, and ideally to disable access when your admin programs are complete (i.e.. enable access, do your query, disable access)
This way you can have any SQL client code you wish query the repository, create a mirror, create reports, run auditing procedures - whatever you like.
Personally, before writing significant custom code, I’d first see if the info you want is already available another way, in one of the built in admin views, via the REST API, or using the public domain LogShark or TabMon systems or with the Addon (for more recent versions of Tableau) the Server Management Add-on, or possibly the new Data Catalog.
I know at least one server admin who somehow clones the whole Postgres repository database periodically so he can analyze stats offline. Not sure what approach he uses to clone. So you have several options.
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 two SQLSever instances, each of them have an identical schema. One is running in SQLAzure, the other is a standared SQLServer 2008 instance. I need to copy the data from the Azure database to my local instance.
Essentially I want to do this:
insert LOCAL_TABLE (col1, col2)
select col1, col2
from AZURE_TABLE
How would I do that?
In order to move data between SQL Servers, and if one of them is SQL Azure you have couple of options:
SQL Azure Data Sync
Using SSIS
Write your own code that will move data using, most probably SqlBulkCopy class.
If you would like to just copy all the data, you could also use SQL Azure Migration Wizard - you can omit the option for coping the schema, and let it just copy the data.
EDIT
And as, by the original answer from Matthew PK, you could link to your SQL Azure server from your on-prem Server, but this is only an option when you just want to do some ad-hoc testing. I would not use this approach in production for constantly syncing data.
You could accomplish that in a single statements using linked servers.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188279(v=sql.100).aspx
EDIT: Here is a link which appears to explain how to link to SQL Azure:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlcat/archive/2011/03/08/linked-servers-to-sql-azure.aspx
EDIT: Here is a write-up on connecting to Azure with SSMS
http://www.silverlighthack.com/post/2009/11/11/Connecting-to-SQL-Azure-with-SQL-Server-Management-Studio-2008-R2.aspx
Otherwise I believe you need to do it in two statements.
Linked Server is not officially supported. However, Here are couple of resources that are supported and would help you do what you are looking for:
1) Check out SQL Azure Dac Examples: http://sqldacexamples.codeplex.com/
2) The other options is SQL Azure Data SYNC.
Use a product like "SQL Data Compare" from redgate. I am not a Azure user, but I am guessing it would work, I have used it for a few years and its pretty solid.
Is this a one-time copy or ongoing?
If one-time, then use the SQL Azure Migration Wizard (from Codeplex)
If ongoing then use SQL Azure data sync
Also you can verify that the schema is compliant with SQL Server Data Tools in VS, just set the target to SQL Azure or to SQL Server 2012, or 2008 and then build and any/all schema errors will show up.
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).
