Note: Although this question probably does not fit in with SO's usual programming questions, out of StackOverflow, ServerFault, SuperUser and Programmer's Exchange, only SO has any questions that make mention of this software, which is why I decided to post here.
I used to use Anjlab's open source SQL Profiler tool, and found it to be invaluable. Unfortunately, it looks like the software has been converted to a paid version, with the all access to the open source version completely removed. Since this software is mentioned several times in questions here on SO, I was wondering if anyone still has a copy of the old, free, open source version and would be willing to share it?
I've managed to find the following:
SqlExpressProfiler-1.2.1812.13.zip <-- You have to pay to use the performance dashboard.
SqlExpressProfiler-1.2.1708.7.zip
SqlExpressProfiler-1.2.1708.7.zip
SqlExpressProfiler.1.2.1624.78.zip
SqlExpressProfiler-1.1.1423.75.zip
I'll be testing them out and eliminating the dud ones.
Here is a simple alternative if you need just a monitoring tool for queries:
http://expressprofiler.codeplex.com/
I hope it won't disappear soon.
I'm currently using it with SQL Server Express 2012 to monitor queries form my NHibernate applications (didn't want to add log4net just for this purpose and show_sql outputs only to console window which I don't have in my WCF service).
Really nice and stable utility. I find it much easier to use than MS SQL Profiler which needs various settings, trace profiles for various server versions and what not. Express Profiler - just launch, hit Run, and all the T-SQL and sp_execute queries are displayed.
It's open source, you can add even more features if you wish. I guess, Clear button would be useful because now you have to Stop and Run again to clear the list.
Here's a link. Use at your own risk.
You could also do a search for SqlExpressProfiler-0.1.1094.67.zip

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.

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.
Last, i know a bit of Swing, so, GWT is the same? (Except Client - Server concept) ?
I guess they share the concept of using listeners/handlers for events. They are not the same though.

I want to beautify the SQL queries I write.
What free tools exist that allow for SQL query formatting?
PoorMansTSqlFormatter is a free and open-source online beautifier, with offline an SSMS Add-In, command-line beautifier tool, and Notepad++ plugin.
The project aims to format any T-SQL (2000 or later) script, no matter the length or complexity.
T-SQL Tidy (dead link) was a very good online SQL formatter/beautifier.
It had a lot of formatting options. Although it was targeted at T-SQL, it should have worked with most SQL dialects.
There is a free online Instant SQL Formatter. The site also sells some other versions (add-in for Visual Studio, for example), but the online version is free.
Re Christoph's answer:
I was looking for the same in Notepad++ and found a link that gives an idea of how to create your own formatting with macros: Formatting SQL in Notepad++
It seems like it would work, but I'm going to use one of the SSMS Add-ins in the previous answer (less work).
I've always been a fan of Navicat.
Their lite version is free, but it still comes with the SQL Beautifier.
As an added bonus, occasionally you'll find some chinglish hiding in odd places.
Sequel Pro if using OS X.
Otherwise, just work out what you need, and then develop your query using your knowledge and use the command line tool (my personal favourite:)).

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.

An Emacs macro:

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

I'm not talking about bug tracking software (like Bugzilla or Jira). I'm looking for something that:
Stores test specifications in text format
Combines test specs into test coverage scenarios
Keeps track of the progress through testing scenarios
Links test specs with bug reports stored in Bugzilla
Generates progress reports
Is centrally managed on its own (i.e. is not a hack/extension on top of something else)
TestLink is a pretty nice open source test tracking tool with the features you need, and is still under active development. Take a look at http://testlink.org/
I haven't used this (yet), but Testopia seems to meet all your requirements, especially the one about Bugzilla.
I'm biased since I'm the primary author, but I think Cuanto is pretty good. It allows you to track historical results for multiple test projects and you can store your analysis with the test results.
RTH is another open source test management tool
I have personally used Trac (http://trac.edgewall.org/) which combines a simple issue tracker with Wiki functionality. Solved the need I had on my project.
A while back I briefly looked at the free version of QaTraq. Although I left the team I was considering it for before we every got very far with the project, it was the frontrunner of the options I looked at at the time.
It's got quite a nice interface, and what seemed to me to be a very sensible test planning structure. I think one of the big downsides was the the open source version didn't have table support in the WYSIWYG test case editor - Not a showstopper, and could be fixed with a little development effort or by spending some money on the professional version.
