I have two databases in two networks. I want to check one against another for to see table definition mismatches. I have database definition scripts of both databases. Is there any built-in function in SQL Server to achieve this.?
All the configurations in database servers are similar. The server version is SQL Server 12.0.2.
Update: I know there are text comparison tools, and I use beyond compare.

If you have the database definition scripts the easy way is to use diff on the UNIX (or Mac) command line, or windiff in Windows (see https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-files-winpc/does-windiff-exec-available-in-windows-10-64-bit/624fb262-7cba-49bd-b02e-74814a4d11b6?auth=1).
Otherwise you can use a database design tool. There are many available but they all cost a lot more than using diff.

my current app is using ASP.Net Core and using SQL Server as DBMS.
is it possible to migrate data into dBASE based application like Visual-FoxPro 9.0?
if yes then how i can do that?
Yes you could use VFP and if "you really wanted to", you could migrate data to a VFP database.
However, it is better to keep the data in MS SQL Server database and use it from VFP. It is really simple to connect to MS SQL server database and do CRUD operations there from within VFP. Basically there are 3 methods you could choose from:
Remote Views (RV)
SQL Pass Through cursors (SPT)
CursorAdapter class
CursorAdapter is the latest historically and most advanced option. You could visit my blog for a starter (https://cetinbasoz.blogspot.com/)

I want to know is there any difference between Oracle and sql developer tools?
It depends on what you consider a 'tool.'
The database ships with a couple of command-line interfaces, SQLPlus and SQLcl. Those are both tools, they're not a part of the core database code.
You could also use web interfaces like SQL Developer Web, APEX, EM Express, or Enterprise Manager. Some of those ship with the Database, and EM Express runs out of the database, but those are kind of tools too.
You could write your own program to interact with the database, but you're going to use a JDBC driver or something that supports SQLNet...but then are those drivers, tools?
So my answer to you is, it depends on what you mean by 'tool.'
Can you use the database without SQL Developer, yes.

I have a DataBase SQL , I did some changes in tables and datatype of this data base
but this data base contains data
I used a select Insert statement from the old database to the new one after edit
Is it the best way to bring he data to the new database or I can use better way ??
It depends why you are doing it and when.
If you are doing this as a one off process on your development machine and there is only a small number of simple tables then this approach will be fine
If you are doing it for a larger number of tables, need it to be re-runnable or want a GUI then use SSIS or "SQL Server Import and Export Wizard". It's easy to use.

Could anybody suggest me a visual tool for oracle database architecture. I have used mysql workbench for mysql server. I am trying to find out same kind of tool for oracle database.
If you mean tools that include a graphical query builder you should have a look at the following tools:
Toad (there is a freeware version, but I am not sure if it contains enough for you)
SQL Developer (free)
There are other options out there, but I would say that these two are by far the best ones you can get for oracle development.
If you meant tools to create a database (so a graphical tools that shows you a diagram of the database and generates SQL scripts from it) you should have a look at:
Toad Data Modeler
Dezign
SQL Developer Data Modeler

I want to migrate data from one database to another database in Microsoft SQL Server 2005. I need to verify those rows retrieved before I insert them to the destination database's tables. Which approach is reasonable for this kind of things?
I am trying to use two datasets in my VB.NET program. Is it reasonable? Can you suggest me?
Thanks in advance,
RedsDevils
It depends on how much data you're talking about, but I'd tend to pass on .Net datasets for a migration task, as that means pulling all the data into memory. If you must do this via a .Net client program, at least use a DataReader instead. But what's even better is to keep it all in Sql Server via Sql Server Integration Services.
