In our office we have two servers (development and Test). I need to create a new server for practice purpose. How can do it?
If it's a physical machine; Install a new server and install sql.
If it's a virtual machine you can always clone the image and change the settings.
You also have the option to copy the database and run it on the development or test server as a separate database with a different name. If you just want to test some stuff and dont want to risk causing problems for the other developers this is probably the best option.
Another option is to install the sql server on your pc, copy the db and test stuff.
I suspect the last option is the one you want?

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.

I installed Oracle SQL developer on my personal computer.
I want to create my own tables in it and work on them.
But, when I try to make the basic connection, it gives an error below
i want to practice but on sql developer but there is no connection what to do help needed
You have SQL Developer, but you probably don't have a database. You have a few options of how to proceed next.
Create your own database - after you download and install Oracle Database or Oracle XE.
Find someone else's database you can use.
Download a virtual image you can start that's already setup for Oracle Database.
We have a free VirtualBox appliance you can download and run in less than an hour. You can read about that here.

I'm an I.T. student creating a pageant scoring system using VB.net and Microsoft SQL for database.
I'm wondering what method to implement on how to connect the ADMIN's server to multiple judges' nodes.
I have already constructed some GUI, and already normalized the database.
I have searched the winsock method but I'm planning to use this system on different nodes, so, this can be troublesome to modify every time I use it to other nodes.
I have searched that it is possible to connect them through ad hoc, but I don't know how to start it.
So, please enlighten me on this method. Thank you
.......
it's more like this.
1 sql server database sitting on a drive that all clients & server can see
1 system sitting on each client/judge machine, connecting to this sql database
1 system sitting on the server/admin machine, connected to the same database.
the client software inputs score to tables
the server-side software refreshes everytime someone entered their score
Your software should connect using a single non-adminstrator account. You do not have to create a different account on SQL Server for each different user in your software.
Regarding the connection method, I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "different nodes".

We have a need to have a datastore of some form that has the following properties.
Relocatable, local or remote systems.
Capable of multiple readers/writers, new queries should contain updates.
De-centralized, no server would be required.
Capable of holding at least 16 Mb of data.
SQL CE seems capable, but I'm not sure I'd understand what technologies would go into integrating such a solution as I don't really have an SQL background.
Is there anyone that has tackled a problem like this? what solutions have worked for you?
For point #1, do you want to be able to access the SQL CE database remotely on a share? If so I do not believe you want to do this as CE is not targetted for this. See this link for some details. I think it would be fine for the other 3 items if I am understanding you properly.

I'm doing a project for a database class (don't worry, it's not due tomorrow :P), and I need an Oracle server I can connect to. I'm trying to install it on my home box, but I'm slow with Linux. Really, I'd just like a sandbox server to connect to so I can run my homework assignments on them. Are those out there?
Why not try and use a pre-built Oracle VM ?
To my knowledge there aren't freely available Oracle instances you can access at your leisure -- there'd be patching and hacking attempts to deal with. I don't see any revenue to gain from it, so it's very unlikely.
However, Oracle provides a free version (Express, currently 10g). If you want an instance you can connect to at your whim, I'd suggest using a Virtual Machine (VM) software so you could create & run a VM, that would use a host OS of your choice, in order to install an Oracle Express instance that you could then connect to. That, or setup a separate box for hosting Oracle from.
You can get the free version of Oracle XE easily from eDelivery.Oracle.com
It runs on windows and is dirt-simple to install. Great platform for testing things out quickly.
