i want to display the SQL server data which is in table form into the SHarepoint.
I dont have sharepoint 2007/2010
I just have SHarepoint services 3.0 and sharepoint designer 2007
please help.
I think business data catalog cant be used in this version.
IS it true ?
do i have to go for paid version ?
You could use SharePoint designer to create a webpart that shows sql data. Look at the following article. YOu cannot use that data in another way (i.e. as a column in a list or something linke that, you need the BDC for that).

I have created a functioning LightSwitch (Visual studio 2012 Pro) application...
Now it's time to publish! The only problem is that I can't seem to figure out how to change the schema name to something other than dbo.
That is, I don't want the output tables to be dbo.XXXX, I want them to be my_schema.XXXX instead.
Also, note that the database is on SQL Server 2005.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to achieve this?
Thanks!
Update: Sorry for not being specific. I don't want to change the schema for existing tables in my database. I want my LightSwitch application to use the new schema. I don't mind publishing it and then modifying the schema on the tables, if I can then somehow also modify the LightSwitch application to use the new schema. But ideally, there would be a way to tell LightSwitch to use a different schema when it publishes.
For those who don't know what LightSwitch is, it is a Microsoft .Net Rapid Application Development tool for SilverLight business applications, and is built into Visual Studio 2012. My application is written in VB.Net
You can't change the schema name for an intrinsic database (the database that is created with LightSwitch). Maybe you'll be able to in V3, but you can't currently do it in V1 or V2. To achieve this, you'll have to create the database in something like SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio, then attach to it as an external data source.
Seeing as you've already done all the creating in LightSwitch, you could publish it as is, then attach to it as I mentioned above. I hope you don't have screens created, because unless you want to manually edit all of the lsml, you won't be able to use the attached database in any already created screens.
Any time you need to do something "out of the ordinary" with LightSwitch's database, you need to create it outside of LightSwitch, then attach to it. Why? LightSwitch was originally created with the idea in mind that the users didn't need to know anything about SQL Server.
Anyone knows of a easy way to export a sql server table to a sharepoint list
If you're using SharePoint 2010:
How to: Create an External Content Type Based on a SQL Server Table
If you will use SSIS to perform the export, take a look at the SharePoint List Source and Destination in the Microsoft SQL Server Community Samples: Integration Services project on CodePlex.
I have to create a web form and store all kinds of data from the page, the data will be text, num, email and checkboxes.
I have to store them in a database SQL. I have to deploy the same page in the sharepoint server and users will be able to use that page to fillin the details once the details are filled in it should be loaded in to the SQL seperate databse.
could anybody tell me what would be the best approach.
Please give me rough idea so that I will take the steps to get it complete.
Do you have to use a SQL database? You could simply use SharePoint lists for this type of functionality.
If you HAVE to use SQL then look at Business Connectivity Services through SharePoint Designer 2010, or if you are using WSS 3.0 or MOSS 2007 then look at creating custom web parts.
I am using SSIS to transfer data from MS SQl server as data source and Sharepoint list as data destination. Now, I need to fire an update command on the sharepoint list. Please guide me to implement this.

I support Rational clearquest for my company and have been asked to show some of the data in Sharepoint.
I can query the data in Clearquest no problem (Using Toad) but have no idea about how to go displaying it in Sharepoint.
The data I'm querying contains dates and ideally I'd like to be able display it in a sharepoint calendar but list format would do for the moment.
Can anybody offer advice on even where to start?
Thanks,
Joe
Whilst you could do the bare bones approach suggested by Ben there are lots of options that will give you a 'leg up' especially if you are just displaying data.
Your first look should be at SharePoints Data View Web Part (DVWP). There is a length walkthrough here and some great tutorials by Laura Rogers
Very similar but if you hate SharePoint designer there is Lighting Tools Data Viewer Web Part
If you are using MOSS you could use the Business Data Catalog (BDC) - Display business data on a SharePoint site
There are other 3rd party options too that don't require MOSS such as Layer2's Business Data List Connector (BDLC)
If you have technical resource you could (expanding on approach suggested by Ben) write your own Reusable SQL Data Viewer Web Part
You would have to develop a sharepoint "feature" such as a webpart. You could then display retrieve the data from the db and display it however you want. You would basically be developing a asp.net component/application but with certain restrictions that sharepoint forces on you. You can read the basic steps here
