I am searching for an affordable alternative to RedGate's ReadyRoll for continuous deployment for SQL.
All of my searches are returning open source projects from nearly a decade ago.
Does anyone have a decent alternative???
Which edition of Visual Studio do you use? If you are fortunate enough to own Visual Studio Enterprise Edition, Redgate (who I work for) has an arrangement with Microsoft to supply ReadyRoll Core Edition at part of your entitlement.
If you're using VS Pro or Community then you'll either have to purchase ReadyRoll Pro or you can try one of the open source projects out there. As you point out there are a bunch of OSS projects that are no longer kept up to date, but Flyway is the exception and actively maintained. Mind you, unlike ReadyRoll Flyway doesn't generate the migration scripts for you. It simply provides a framework to manage and run unrun migrations scripts that you have authored yourself against your chosen target database.
Note: ReadyRoll Core has been removed from VS 2019
We've been happy just using SQL Server Database projects within Visual Studio, deploying to our databases as needed. It helps that we're using domain driven design so almost all the tables are built by the C# devs.
Check out AzureDbUp.
It's DbUp wrapped into a console application for use in your devops pipelines.

Maybe this question has been asked before but as far as i've checked the entries i've found two possible entries which are very old, so would like to start a new post around the discussion ?
Found this post on Google Code, but project is discontinued to make it available on web:
http://code.google.com/p/oracle-gui/
https://code.google.com/archive/p/database-explorer/
I want to have your opinions and experience is there a any tool which can be deployable on server as a web application (i.e. nodejs, tomcat war application) that i can use similiar to sqldeveloper ?
SQLDeveloper for web is not fitting for me because i am not using Oracle on Cloud so i want a deployable tool which i can manage on my web application server.
If it is an Oracle database, it might already have Oracle Application Express (Apex) installed.
Apart from being a tool to develop applications (all you need is a browser), it also contains SQL Workshop which offers
object browser
data workshop
query builder
schema comparison tool
lets you execute SQL commands and scripts
etc.
So - have a look.
SQL Developer Web will be available for you on-prem later this year via ORDS.
You'll be able to run it for your own local databases, versions 11gR2 and higher.
For free.

I use MS Project Professional 2013, and I need to find a tool for code management for VBA. I would like this tool to be able to import and export code from/to MSP and the ability to integration with TFS. Can you recommend something to me?
I was trying to do the same thing, but in the end it's easier to just migrate to full VB.net and build your code as an add-in using the full power of Visual Studio. You get complete dev and test tools, plus integration with TFS, and a much better IDE to work with. The learning curve for the VB stuff is minimal (same language syntax, same Project Object Model), but there is a little getting used to Visual Studio.
There are some (rather complicated) solutions out there, but if you are ready for managed code you may as well take the leap.

I want to replace the Caché Studio, because it needs to be ran on Windows. Browser based IDE would be most convenient solution for using OS indepedently and mobile.
Is there any browser based IDE for use with InterSystems Caché database?...
...Or, is there a way to export Caché class as readable source code like in Studio? I know there's a way to export classes as XML. But that's not the actual source code.
1) I have not come across any browser-based IDE for use with Cache.
2) Yes - we have just released EnsPlus, a commercial Visual Studio extension which allows you to work with ObjectScript code on the file system.
It allows you to export the classes from Cache and work with them as normal files on the file system. However, this is for Windows-based systems only so I am not sure if it meets your needs.
There isn't a browser-based IDE available for Caché programming. In fact, the only alternative to Caché Studio is George James Software's Serenji debugger/editor.
The XML is the actual source code.
Unfortunately, there is no other option besides Studio, but Intersystems is certainly working on one.

I am working on a database project and the entire team is working within Visual Studio. I created a database project, and I suppose I was hoping that I could utilize UML diagramming (or something along the lines of MySQL Workbench) so that I could "design" my database, and then auto-generate scripts. Unfortunately, at least from my cursory search, such a tool does not appear to exist within Visual Studio (I am using 2008 Professional).
Is there something within VS that I am missing? If so, could you please point me to it? Otherwise, what suggestions do you have for creating a database. I would like to be able to easily allow other developers to quickly create the database as well as put the files into source control. I'm envisioning designing the database via UML, and then, from there, everything is generated for me.
Also, in VS 2008 Professional, there is a "Database Project" that you can make use of. It's sole purpose is to store database scripts that you can then put under source control. You can either write the scripts yourself, or use the designer. If using the designer, after you create and save the table, you can right-click on it in the Server Explorer and choose "Generate Create Script".

Visual Studio 2008 Team System database edition seems to do what you want. here is the link
I am using 2008 Professional
Actually, database projects should not be available to you. At least, I do not see any SQL2005 or SQL 2008 projects in my VS 2008 Pro. You'd need the VS Database Edition or Team Suite for that functionality. Even so, it doesn't offer any graphical tools as far as I know. You can add database elements as script files and have it generate a deployment script for you.
You could also play with the Entity Framework 4 (requires VS 2010). There you have a graphical designer which will afterward generate a script for you.
Alternatively, you could try the Sybase PowerDesigner. Also a very powerful piece of software.

I am interested in moving a number of my projects from Visual Studio and Access/Office Basic with a SQL back-end to the Linux world.
Are there any utilities available to move code over to a similar platform on Linux?
Here's a link to the Mono Migration Analyzer to get started. It will help you pinpoint Microsoft specific calls, but you'll probably have to do the db conversion and data access layer manually. You may be surprised - mono does have a System.Data.SqlClient namespace so you may not have much work to do.
OpenOffice has a Basic interpreter which is largely compatible with VBA. This may help you with your Access applications. The OpenOffice versions should run on both Windows and Linux.
There are some flavours of OpenOffice that include native support for VBA. The version included with Ubuntu is one example, and the Novell version for Windows is another. For more details and a list of versions with this feature, see this article on linux.com.
They don't support all features of VBA, but they will reduce your conversion effort.
