I have recently started using Oracle. In last few Years I had used SQL server and used a tool called "RedGate SQL Search" and found
to be very useful while maintaining projects with huge database size.
I need an equivalent tool for Oracle , Anyone having any idea?
I suggest you try PL SQL Developer I have used it too much, I have used RedGate tools also too much, the tool I mentioned for Oracle Database has most of features of "Red Gate SQL Search" for Oracle and in some cases it has some different and better features.

I'm starting at a new company after coming from a previous role where I could rely on Redgate's SQL Prompt with a MySQL environment. I'm now working with a Postgresql environment (SQL Workbench/J) and was wondering if anyone had come across any similar programs for Postgresql to make the query writing a bit less tedious and time intensive.
I'm aware of the CNTRL + Space option for suggesting columns/tables, hoping for something that automatically prompts.
Thanks!
You can use the dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL software to meet your needs, and this will help you to use this software in accordance with what is in the SQL Prompt program.
I hope the explanation I gave was useful to you.
A full-featured GUI tool for PostgreSQL is pgAdmin.
Among many other useful features, it has a query tool with code completion and suggestion.
I need a test database to practice joins and other kinds of data retrieval operations in SQL.
What's a good free test database and RDBMS system to use on Windows?
Every major RDBMS provider has some free edition. Those are full versions limited by database size and maximum memory usage.
Top players:
Sql Server Express
Oracle Express
IBM DB2 Express-C
Then, there is number of open source products:
PostgreSQL
Firebird
MySQL
SQLite (not really a RDBMS, but understands SQL and it can be used for your purposes. Also, very small and compact)
If this is not enough, check this Wikipedia article: Comparison of relational database management systems.
There's more than 50 RDBMS's listed and you'll probably find something that suits your needs.
SQL Server Express for one.
Sample databases (AdventureWorks) can be downloaded here.
You can use this link. The adventure works database is used as an example for numerous online and offline resources.
After which, download the SMSS Express to work on it.
If it's just for practising SQL you could install Access assuming you have an MS Office CD that includes it already.
Otherwise MySQL or SQL Server Express are probably your best bets.
I would recommend MySQL over SQL Server Express if your purpose is to practice SQL. The command line interface is all you need.
You can get online practice with verifying your queries on SQL Exercises
Is there a Toad type application for Sybase? I can't seem to find a single one! I've tried using VS 2008 but can't see the sproc source.
Am assuming Sybase ASE.
Ships with Sybase Central and SQL Advantage as part of the client tools. Sybase Central lets you manage and create tables, views, sprocs etc. SQL Advantage lets you run SQL...
Sybase Workspace is a new tool for ASE, I've never tried it. http://www.sybase.com/products/modelingdevelopment/workspace
ASE ISQL is a free tool that is also useful for running sql, but is less useful for modifiying stored procedures etc. (More of a SQL Advantage replacement). http://code.google.com/p/aseisql/
If you have money to spend then there's also Embarcadero's DBArtisan. http://www.embarcadero.com/products/dbartisan. I've used this and it's pretty good, although their support for MSSQL and Oracle is better than the Sybase support.
RazorSQL has very good Sybase support. Edit / view stored procedures, etc.
SqlDbx at http://www.sqldbx.com/. Very light-weight software promising a lot of editor features. This requires Sybase Open Client to be installed on your workstation.
But I'll recommend using Oracle SQL Developer. I'm presently working through a JDBC connection to a Sybase ASE database using this tool. This seems to be Eclipse-based, but is quite responsive and allows you to view source code for functions and procs too.
Looks like Quest now offers a Sybase version of Toad.
DBeaver is open-source and appears to work fine.
Try Embarcadero Rapid SQL. I recommend you the 7.4 version over 7.6 because it is more stable. Embarcadero Rapid SQL XE is the recent version.
Embarcadero Rapid SQL XE enables
developers and DBAs to produce high
performing SQL code at lightening
speeds. With support for all major
database platforms from a single
interface, teams can standardize on
one powerful heterogeneous SQL IDE
tool.
Squirrel SQL is open source and works pretty well
I'm using CAST SQL-Builder from CAST Software, the debugger in this tool saved me a lot of time.
We have a massive amount of stored procedures to convert from sql-server 2000 to oracle 10g. Does anyone know of any tool that would achieve this?
We used Oracle SQL developer for this but it seems like it is creating extra cursors for each IF/ELSE condition that was on sql server side.
Has anyone successfully used a tool that would do this?
Sorry, no answer, and you have my sympathies. I've been through this before and it was all manual. We ended up making distinct migration & test plan tasks for it.
Oracle will use cursors in places that look odd for people used to SQL server. I am not aware of any (simple) way around this.
There seem to be a number of companies out there now offering services or tools to help: This Google search shows a bunch.
Don't forget to plan for functional equivalence testing. Datatype differences may cause issues, and your application development tool(s) may interact differently with Oracle than they do with SQL server. I did this conversion a number of years ago for a PowerBuilder application, and a lot more of that needed updating than we expected.

What is a free tool to compare two SQL Server Databases? [closed]
(7 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I would like to compare two SQL Server databases including schema (table structure) and data in tables too. What is best tool to do this?
I use schema and data comparison functionality built into the latest version Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition (Free) or Professional / Premium / Ultimate edition. Works like a charm!

Red-Gate's SQL data comparison tool is my second alternative:
(source: spaanjaars.com)
http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-compare/
http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-data-compare/
I like Open DBDiff.
While not the most complete tool, it works great, it's free, and it's very easy to use.
I am using Red-Gate's software:
http://www.red-gate.com
SQL Admin Studio from http://www.simego.com/Products/SQL-Admin-Studio is now free, lets you manage your SQL Database, SQL Compare and Synchronise, Data Compare and Synchronise and much more. Also supports SQL Azure and some MySQL Support too.
[UPDATE: Yes I am the Author of the above program, as it's now Free I just wanted to Share it with the community]
I'm partial to AdeptSQL. It's clean and intuitive and it DOESN'T have the one feature that scares the hell out of me on a lot of similar programs. One giant button that it you push it will automatically synchronize EVERYTHING without so much as a by-your-leave. If you want to sync the changes you have to do it yourself and I like that.
There is one tool with source code available at
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/205011/SQL-Server-Database-Comparison-Tool
That should give flexibility as code is available.
dbghost is the best i have used to date. one of the best features i have seen is that it will generate SQL code to go between versions of a database based on the SQL you keep in source control, as well as a database. simple and easy to use.
I've used SQL Delta before (http://www.sqldelta.com/), it's really good. Not free however, not sure how prices compare to Red-Gates
Try DBComparer, it's free and fast:
http://dbcomparer.com/
Database Workbench can made it too
http://www.upscene.com/products.dbw.index.php
Cross database development
Use the Schema Compare and Migration
Tools to compare testing and deployed
databases, migrate existing databases
to different database systems.
you can also made it with database Comparer
http://www.clevercomponents.com/products/dbcomparer/dbcomparer.asp
I use it for Firebird and it works well.
Try dbForge Data Compare for SQL Server. It can compare and sync any databases, even very large ones. Quick, easy, always delivers a correct result.
Try it on your database and comment upon the product.
We can recommend you a reliable SQL comparison tool that offer 3 time’s faster comparison and synchronization of table data in your SQL Server databases. It's dbForge Data Compare for SQL Server and dbForge Schema Compare for SQL Server
Main advantages:
Speedier comparison and synchronization of large databases
Support of native SQL Server backups
Custom mapping of tables, columns, and schemas
Multiple options to tune your comparison and synchronization
Generating comparison and synchronization reports
Plus free 30-day trial and risk-free purchase with 30-day money back guarantee.
We are using an inhouse developed solution that is basicly a procedure with arguments of what you want included in the comparision (SP's, Full SP code, table structure, defaults, indices, triggers.. etc)
Depending on your needs and budget, it might be a good way to go for you as well.
It is quite easily developed as well, then we just redirect output of procedure to textfiles and do text comparisions between the files.
One good thing about it is that its possible to save the output in source control.

I've used Red Gate's tools and they are superb.
However, if you can't spend any money you could try Open DBDiff to compare schemas.
I would definitely go with AdeptSQL if you're using MSSQL. It's the least good looking but the most talented db compare tool amongst the ones I've tried. It can compare both the structure and the data. It tells you which tables exist on one db but does not exist on the other, compares the structure and data of the common ones and it can produce the script to synchronize the two. It's not free but has a 30 day trial (as far as I can remember)
I tried OpenDiff Tool . Great tool that is free and easy to use .
