I bought usage rights to a confederate soldiers database which is in sql, I bought it to intergrate with my wordpress genealogy blog, and I need to know if there is any way to do this, the place where I purchased will not give my money back, and are not very helpful as far as figuring this out.
thanks,

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?

I installed Oracle SQL developer on my personal computer.
I want to create my own tables in it and work on them.
But, when I try to make the basic connection, it gives an error below
i want to practice but on sql developer but there is no connection what to do help needed
You have SQL Developer, but you probably don't have a database. You have a few options of how to proceed next.
Create your own database - after you download and install Oracle Database or Oracle XE.
Find someone else's database you can use.
Download a virtual image you can start that's already setup for Oracle Database.
We have a free VirtualBox appliance you can download and run in less than an hour. You can read about that here.

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.

I am continuously getting Error Code “The ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress”
This is happening ever since I physically deleted a couple of .dbf files
I did this meself many years ago, deleting the files from disk before DROPing them from within Oracle. The following link has some steps for getting your database to come up after telling Oracle that the files are no longer there: http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-drop-tablespace-and-recover-oracle-database-when-accidentally-delete-datafile/.
Try Connecting as SYSDBA. Also look at the relevant lines from the alert-log. May be at (%ORACLE_BASE%/diag/rdbms/%ORACLE_SID%/%ORACLE_SID%/trace/alert_%ORACLE_SID%.log).
It is likely that oracle is trying to write to or open one of the .dbf files you deleted. What were the .dbf files?

I'm wondering what are recent advances in relational database theory and related domains? I'm interested in new approaches, query languages (alternatives to SQL and/or extensions to it), products (proprietary and open source, though I'm much more interested in open source) and research projects developed in last years.
I am not versed in the subject but there was a very nice project based on XML structures over RDB that caught my eye a few years back and now seems to work perfectly.
Have a look at http://exist.sourceforge.net/ to see a nice approach to RDB used to build a more flexible storage system with XQuery as the query language. You should like it, it's open source.

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.
