SQL Server Express with PowerPivot - sql

Is it possible to use PowerPivot (in Excel 2013) with SQL Server Express (which version is recommended?)?

Your question is very unclear. How do you want to use Power Pivot with SQL Server Express?
Is SQL Server your data source? Then yes. You can connect to any ODBC data source from Power Pivot?
Are you trying to host Power Pivot workbooks on SharePoint? In that case, you need SQL Server BI Edition or Enterprise Edition to host the workbooks.
Are you trying to promote a Power Pivot workbook to a SQL Server Analysis Services model? In that case you also need SQL Server BI Edition or Enterprise Edition.
There is no requirement to have any version or edition of SQL Server around to use Power Pivot on your desktop. Similarly there is no requirement to have any version or edition of SQL Server anywhere on your network/in your organization to use Power Pivot on your desktop. We have clients who happily use SQL Server against Oracle data warehouses as a source.

Can I mirror SQL server enterprise to standard?

I want to setup mirroring between 2 copies of SQL server. The primary box is SQL server enterprise edition.
Can I mirror it to a SQL server standard edition? The purpose is to save a metric ton of money.
From Books Online:
The two partners, that is the principal server and mirror server, must be running the same edition of SQL Server. The witness, if any, can run on any edition of SQL Server that supports database mirroring.
That being said, it is possible to set it up as long as you use TSQL commands and not the GUI. I would never recommend it, but it is possible, as long as you guarantee you're not using any Enterprise features. More warnings HERE and HERE.
Last edit - apparently this has been completely blocked in SQL 2012. Looks like you're out of luck.

SQL Server table in Oracle SQL Developer

I connected SQL server database with Oracle SQL Developer 3.2.10.09, everything looks good except i can only browse data, i cannot change data in tables cannot insert new or delete rows. Query is also disabled (i got message: Query Builder is not supported for this connection type.) I used Third Party JDBC Drivers - jtds-1.2.6.jar as my connection to SQL server. Is there a way to change data in tables?
It helped me to rollback to Oracle SQL Developer v.3.1.06.82
That Query Builder supports MS SQL Server tables
I just use SQL Server Management Studio. You see.. when you buy a complete STACK of software, it comes with tools for writing SQL. Don't worry, if you're too cheap to buy $49/developer's edition of SQL Server, you can still get SSMS for free.

SQL to SQL CE: How to read an SQL or Access database and write it out as SQL CE database?

I have just one simple table in my MS SQL database (or Microsoft Access). How do I read in this table and write it out as an SQL CE database? I have both Visual Studio and WebMatrix installed so I can use either of these tools if required. Thanks.
Is it possible to copy and paste one table to another? This would be the simplest if it works.
Try my Visual Studio add-in, allows you to migrate from SQL Server to SQL Server Compact: http://sqlcetoolbox.codeplex.com - command line walkthrough here: http://erikej.blogspot.com/2010/02/how-to-use-exportsqlce-to-migrate-from.html
You can download a free copy SQL Express Management Studio (SSMS).
SSMS has the ability to connect to both full blown SQL, SQL Express, and SQL CE databases.
Within SSMS you can right click on the table and use the wizard to move data back and forth. Or create scripts that will generate the raw table structures that exist in MS SQL, SQL Express and allow you to move them to SQL CE.
The primary wizard you'll probably use in SSMS to move data from an Access table to a SQL, or SQL CE table is called SQL Server Import/Export Wizard.
The learning curve on these wizards is pretty minimal. As your needs grow more advanced and the things you want to do get a little more fancy you'll find that scripting and the tsql language is where you'll want to dedicate some time to learning. But this should get you started with the question at hand.

Moving data between oracle and sql server using Linked server

I have set up Oracle Linked server on Sql Server 2005 box using Oracle provider oledb and its working fine from sql server 2005 to oracle 9i, i.e. When i run distributed query from sql server i get data from oracle server to sql server. Now I don't have any clue how do i run distributed query from Oracle server and get data from sql server repeatedly. Do i have to set up Dsn ? What other things i have to set up before i run query from oracle server?
FYI : Oracle server is Sun solaris server and SQL server is x64 Windows Server 2003. Sql server has oracle client installed on it with odac drivers for ORACLE Provider for OLEDB.
I am going to use loadjava to load java into oracle and than move data between both repeatedly. (Java, Stored procedures & Triggers from oracle to get data from sql server)
Here is one way. DG4ODBC setup guide here.
This might help, too.
linking databases is the first phase. After that you may face the problems we faced, like not being able to delete fetched rows from Sql Server to Oracle Server remotely.
I will post a question about that, it is odd that our procedures used for data synching do not respons the same.
