Is there any third party tool which can convert Vectorwise query into Synapse queries?
Unfortunately, there is no such tool available.
Azure Synapse support T-SQL language to query and analyze the data. You can use standard ANSI-compliant dialect of SQL language used on SQL Server and Azure SQL Database for data analysis.
Since vectorwise query is similar to T-SQL, you can try if some of the statements supported by Synapse. Else, you need to write them in T-SQL and use.

How do you perform data analysis for Splunk?
I'm told there are no traditional DBs in Splunk - do you install non-relational DBs like mongoDB and configure it to connect to your Splunk instances/environments?
If you need to connect traditional databases to Splunk, use DB Connect
It supports
DB2/Linux, Informix, MemSQL, MySQL, AWS Aurora, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, AWS RedShift, SAP SQL Anywhere, Sybase ASE, Sybase IQ, and Teradata
Splunk is a data analysis tool
What use case(s) are you trying to solve that you think it should be/have a database?
While creating stored procedures in Azure data warehouse, I have got some error on "Cursor" and "FOR XML". So wanted to know if they are supported by Azure data warehouse or not. If not then what are the alternatives.
sample code with error msg pictures are attached herein.
Neither FOR XML or cursors are supported in Azure Synapse dedicated SQL pools (formerly known as Azure SQL Data Warehouse) as per the documentation. For cursors, either convert them to use a WHILE loop which is supported or refactor the code to use a set-based approach. Another alternative is to use something external, like Azure Data Factory or Synapse Pipelines and use a For Each loop. Another alternative is to use a nearby Azure SQL DB to do some pre-processing. You should be aware the the MPP architecture of Azure Synapse Analytics does not lend itself well to this kind of row-based processing and you should remember it's a big data platform meant for large volumes of data, millions, billions of rows and set-based approaches should be preferred.
If you are just using FOR XML to do that sleazy string concatenation trick then you should use STRING_AGG instead which is fully supported in Synapse. See this answer for a recent example. If you are actually producing XML then you will need to find an alternative method, eg a nearby Azure SQL DB.

I need to migrate data (including tables, procedures, schema) from Sql Server 2005 to Oracle 10g. Can anyone suggest me a way to do it? Thanks.
Take a look at the Oracle Migration Workbench
SwisSQL have a commercial tool that will do that. It can go from and to several different database vendors. I've used it before to go from SQL Server to Oracle and it works well.
The best way to work around is by using ORACLE GATEWAY First create tables, views, stored procedures and triggers in ORACLE and then using ORACLE GATEWAY you can directly insert the data from SQLSERVER to ORACLE.
But you need to be cautious about data types. For migrating data from Image, TEXT you need to use *DBMS_Sql*
One of the possible options is to use SQL Developer. It is an Oracle free tool, which migrates both database objects and data. However, you need to have high level of knowledge in database migration, in particular experience of working with Oracle and SQL Server. Sometimes the results of automatic migration with SQL Developer require significant manual adjustments.
I have a SQL server database (Tables, Views, SP...). I need to convert this database to Oracle 10g. How can I do it?
Transferring the data will be easy; SQL Server integration services can do that, or Oracle's SQL Developer.
However, views and stored procedures are different between Oracle and SQL Server. SQL Server uses T-SQL, Oracle uses PL/SQL. These are not very compatible and I don't know a tool can automatically convert between the two. If your database relies on specific T-SQL features, you will need a developer to do the conversion.
Get the jTDS jdbc driver from sourceforge.
Add it to Oracle SQL Developer.
Tools > Migration > Migrate
Create a migration repository in your new Oracle database.
Create a new migration project.
Point it to your SQL Server database.
Convert it - mind the data types.
Migrate the data:
online row-by-row inserts over JDBC. Fine for SMALL/test boxes.
offline - use micrsosoft's unload utility to pull the sql server down to flat files. SQL Developer will create SQL*Loader scripts to put them over into Oracle.
If you have GoldenGate licensed, use that to move the data over and to synch changes from one system to the other in case you need to keep both up and going.
Start looking at the migrated T-SQL procs and functions. SQL Developer will leave comments for code blocks it wasn't able to translate...but you will need to TEST and VERIFY every single translation. Customers can see upwards to 80-90% translation rates for their T-SQL, but it could be as low as 50%...it just depends on the nature of your code.
The entire process is described here.
I wrote a white paper, with Sybase ASE as the example source platform, here. The process is identical for SQL Server. It has step-by-step guidance with screenshots.

There is step by step documentation including videos on how to migrate SQL Server to Oracle DB. You find it here:
Migrating from Microsoft SQL Server to Oracle
Or you can use a tool to do the job for you like Ispirer - Migrate Microsoft SQL Server to Oracle
You basicaly setup an Oracle Server, once its ready you migrate your tables using a software made for that. I guess this script can do the job:
