I want to downgrade the database to SQL Server 2008 Enterprise edition. I know there is no direct option. I tried to backup on 2012 and then restore on 2008. Not working.Any Idea on how to completely transfer database ?
You cannot convert a SQL Server 2012 database file to a SQL Server 2008 database file. The downgrade is not possible. The compatibility of database files is available only from an old version to a newer one, not the opposite. Indeed, you can convert a SQL Server 2008 database file to SQL Server 2012 database file.
Use the integrated SQL Server tools:
Right click on the database.
Select Tasks and Generate Scripts.
Following the wizard, at the end of it in the Advanced Scripting Options clicking the "Advanced" button, select the SQL Server version for which you want to generate the scripts, using the option Script for Server Version. Moreover, you would be able to generate the scripts to export the schema of your objects and/or the data, selecting the option Types of data to script, as you can see in the screenshot below:
The time needed for the process to generate both (schema and data) will depend on the amount of data you want to export, of course. As #Arun suggested, have a look at the process in more detail here, using step by step instructions.

In my Office is ready installed foxpro database with old visual foxpro information system. but in new information system we need develop with visual studio and install Microsoft SqlServer Database.
Can i install foxpro and sql-server both in same PC User without any conflicts?
Absolutely, people have been doing it for years. Especially those people who use Visual FoxPro as the front end and connect to SQL Server data.
At some points I have had Visual FoxPro 6 and 9, a couple of versions of SQL Server and PostGres all on the same machine.
Visual FoxPro databases are just stored in the file system as files. There is no 'server' in the sense of SQL Server, Oracle, DB2 etc. Which is one of the problems with it in the present day.

My PC is running slow. I want to format it but my asp project database is in SQL Server 2008, I know how to backup the database but a friend of mine told me it won't be restored if you format your system, backup only gets restored if you use same computer, SQL Server. I'm really confused, but I have to format my PC in any case. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to save my database?
Right Click on your Database which you want to take as backup .Then Go to Task>Backup
While doing backup select the drive which you are not going to Format and keep back there.
For Restoring. Right Click on Databases{Top one} and select Restore option.
Select From Device option.
While Restoring Select the file which you created as backup by browsing. If you are not able to find that backup file, then make sure you have specified Files Type as All.
and yes your Friend is wrong :)

I am trying to back up and restore a database from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2012. I know that the ideal method would be to use SQL Server 2005 or another program as an intercessor; however, I don't have access to any versions of this. So my question is, has anyone had any experience with any software similar that I could use as a middle agent to do this?
I don't know of any software that can act as an intercessor. SQL Server's database format is the definition of proprietary. You'll need to install an instance of SQL Server - temporarily - that lies somewhere between 2000 and 2012, in order to upgrade the database there, then back it up and restore it to 2012. There is no other path.
You don't have access to any intermediate versions? Sure you do. You can download the evaluation edition of SQL Server 2008 R2, and it will work for 180 days, which should be plenty of time to restore your database, increase the compatibility level, and then back it up again.

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

can we use packages in ms sql server 2008...i m new to sql server ...
if yes how it can be created and used....
The only thing somewhat similar would be a SQL-CLR assembly, e.g. C# code compiled into an assembly, hosted inside SQL.
There's no equivalent of a package for T-SQL stored functions and stored procedures in SQL Server.
What do you need that for, anyway? Granting permissions?
What you could investigate, too, are the schemas in SQL Server, which also help you grant or manage permissions - but it's quite a different beast from Oracle PL/SQL packages. Schemas manage collections of database objects (any of them - tables, views, stored procs and funcs).

I assume you are talking about the Oracle concept of a package which groups related queries etc. If so as far as I know this concept doesn't exit in SQL Server. Also you will get some interference when trying to Google for this from DTS packages, which are a completely different concept.
