I want to be able to run queries against multiple SQL servers.
How this can be done?
Thanks

The closest that you will come is Multi Server Administration.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa213819(v=sql.80).aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191305.aspx
This will allow you to schedule jobs, which can run queries against multiple servers.
Another concept that might apply is Federated Servers. This allows you to split data between servers and balance the work load.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187075(v=sql.105).aspx

SQL introduced a new feature call "Central Management Servers (CMS)" which allows you to administer multiple servers.

My question is simple.
Does SQL Server allow Multi table clustering?
No - SQL Server has the concept of clusters in which two or instances of SQL Server (the program) is running (or is available to run) and if one fails the other instance can very rapidly take over. They work on the same data which is stored in a shared drive. But only one is active at a time.

I wish to refine my skills on t-sql (remote procedure calls etc) and making queries on DB's. I have a macbook and would like to know is there any software i can use to accomplish this? Ideally i would not like to install any software on this computer at all but if i have no choice then so be it.
I highly recommend SQL Fiddle. You can create schemas on many types of DB (different versions of SQL Server, MySql, Oracle etc.), practice writing queries, and even send the link to people so they can practice on the same schema/example data as you.
Here is a place where you can practice making queries without installing software.

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 want to migrate data from one database to another database in Microsoft SQL Server 2005. I need to verify those rows retrieved before I insert them to the destination database's tables. Which approach is reasonable for this kind of things?
I am trying to use two datasets in my VB.NET program. Is it reasonable? Can you suggest me?
Thanks in advance,
RedsDevils
It depends on how much data you're talking about, but I'd tend to pass on .Net datasets for a migration task, as that means pulling all the data into memory. If you must do this via a .Net client program, at least use a DataReader instead. But what's even better is to keep it all in Sql Server via Sql Server Integration Services.

When you say it's "in sql", what exactly do you mean?
Do you mean that it's a Microsoft SQL Server database file (.mdf or .sdf file extension)?
Do you mean that it's a SQL script that generates the database (something like a CREATE DATABASE command followed by one or more CREATE TABLE commands followed by a bunch of INSERT commands)?
Do you mean something entirely different?
