Note: I have been out of touch with the PHP world for quite a long time. I am primarily a Python developer.
I have to build a small app in PHP5. Please suggest me a lightweight framework which:
Has MS SQL Server Support that runs on Linux as the app will be running on Ubuntu.
Is fast to learn, use and setup.
Performance is not a critical issue. As the app will be used on a private LAN by about 10 people for data entry mainly.
Suggestion about a templating engines will also be appreciated
Regards
Let's kill off the easy question first - by tempting, I'm assuming you mean templating. If so, Smarty is usually a very good contender as it is simple to learn and very powerful.
Now, for the framework. A wide variety of PHP frameworks have switched to PDO for SQL requests, which means that most of them will easily accomodate MS SQL. CodeIgniter does, so does CakePHP last time I checked.
Ultimately, pick what you know rather than picking something that looks fancy, unless you need the extra features. The learning curve will be smaller.

At the moment, I write a WCF Service that gives the following functionality:
Videoupload and -download
Usermanagement
Groupmanagement
Filemanagement
A forum
Presencemanagement
As database I use a SQL Server 2012 from Microsoft.
The service gets called via REST, so this would not be the problem.
My question is, what advantage can I get with node.js or better said, is there any advantage?
The biggest advantage is in my point of view, that I am fully platform indipendent. Are there any other advantages?

Update, I posted a new question here https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/188926/migrate-wcf-to-node-js
You get the usual advantages and disadvantages Node.js has.
I.e.:
Platform independence
Everything is asynchronous
You have the same language for the backend as for the HTML frontend
...
Basically, the question whether you can benefit from Node.js IMHO comes down to whether you need to scale pretty much, and if you have lots of I/O to do.
If the answer to both is 'yes' then Node.js may be a pretty good catch for you.
PS: Completely off-topic, but - are you Knerd from the discussion forum of winfuture.de?

I'm new with Google Web Toolkit and i have some questions about the tool.
First of all, what i have to know to correctly program for GWT? It's ok if i use the GWT Designer to make the GUI?
Second, how i persists all the data i want to store? Use JPA/Hibernate + SQL Database? Or it's better to use AppEngine?
I'm with a great doubt how i get the data from Database to populate fields and tables on client-side.
and Last, i know a bit of Swing, so, GWT is the same? (Except Client - Server concept) ?
That's my questions. Well, thanks in advance.

Ok.

It's your choice. AppEngine has it's limitations. For example, it scales but may not be the best choice for multi-player games if you need data updated very often and quickly. It really depends on your need/design.
If you do go with AppEngine, my experience with JPA was a headache. Objectify is much easier and the way I would go.

I guess they share the concept of using listeners/handlers for events. They are not the same though.

I'm exploring options for a PHP5 framework (to migrate old codebase).
Requirements:
High performance (project gets ~10 million daily hits & is growing rapidly)
Popular & mature
Actively developed
Good support of components & web services
What could be the options? Pros & cons.
I'm looking into Yii, Zend. But other options are welcome.
Also we have experience with Ruby On Rails so built-in similar ActiveRecord pattern would be great.
Symfony will be a good option for you. Its somewhat similar to ROR. Now its version 2, which is php 5.3. You can use symfoy 1.4 or so, if you don't wish to choose 5.3. Regarding the performance, you can never expect high performance using any framework. You need to focus on other optimizations like caching, db replication etc.

Interested in some opinions on whether SQL is becoming obsolete. At my place of work, ORMs (in particular, Doctrine) are growing more popular for our web dev projects, and early indications seem to be suggesting that it's capable of doing pretty much everything we need for these small to medium sized apps (haven't yet had any major reporting requirements though). Is this the future of data modelling for web dev projects? (Apologies in advance if this is not the forum for this type of question).
SQL is not obsolete nor is it becoming so. There are plenty of programmatic interfaces that make it less of a requirement to learn it in the early stages of application development, but nothing replaces good knowledge about it.
It is also interesting to note that several NoSQL backends support a subset of SQL as an interface to them. It will be a long time before it goes away.

I'm looking for a script or application that tidies up and reformats SQL queries. I've found some good online SQL formatters (see here) , as well as some downloadable commercial applications. I'm cautious about using an online service as I don't want to risk copies of these queries being stored somewhere they might be compromised, if only in a web server's cache (and it is against my employer's policy).
Does anyone know of any open-source applications, scripts, or downloadable freeware that might help me out with this?
It probably bears mentioning that I'm working on a Windows platform at work, but I am open to suggestions for other operating systems.
Cheers!
Update
I have used SQLInform as suggested by Vinko Vrsalovic to excellent effect. Thanks Vinko!
Something that might also be worth watching is SQLTidy, a young project on Google Code which could turn into something great in the long run.
Some things to try out (SQLinForm is free until 2009). It's weird how some niches totally lack good open source tools.

Something else... this freeware tool works for PL/SQL, so maybe there's a use for that in there.
