table partitioning without recoding application? - sql-server-2005

In SQL Server is it possible to perform table partition without having to recode or modify the application?

Yes. The application will simply see a single table, so no changes are required to your application.

Cross-Database Query on Azure SQL Database

I am using Azure SQL Database and I have two databases. I want to select one table data on the first database and merge into another (conditional) table of second database.
Is there any SQL solution to solve my problem?

SQL Server Compact Edition - Obtain create script

I normally live in a MySQL world where I can use the
SHOW CREATE TABLE <tablename>
syntax to get the create script of a given table.
I'm working with a legacy SQL Server CE 3.5 database and need to get the create script for all of the tables so I can move them into another database which will be created by my application.
Is there any equivalent to the MySQL functionality that would allow me to do this?
YOu can use my free tool to to script object creation and data statements from a SQL Compact database - http://sqlcetoolbox.codeplex.com

How to create table in SQL Server 2012 using script file generated from SQL Server 2005?

How to use a script file generated from SQL Server 2005 and create the same table in SQL Server 2012?
Plus I have a script file for each table, how could I combine them all to generate my database?
Just create a database on SQL Server 2012 and run each create object script.
If some error or warning arises you can work it by demand.
note the tables got dependencies, so it's a good idea to create that tables in the right order.
You also can create the tables and put a no check in the FKs creation snipets and switch all FKs to check once all tables ar in place.
Also it's good to create all tables before creating the views, etc.

Periodically store data from a PostgreSQL table to SQL Server 2005 table (with the same schema)

I have a PostgreSQL database that stores real-time data from sensors in a specific table (every 30sec).
What I want to do, is to get periodically the data from the remote PostgreSQL database (for instance every 30sec) and store them in SQL Server 2005 to manipulate them locally. I don't care about having the two databases with duplicate tables. Actually this is what I want to achieve!
So far, I have as Linked Server the PostgreSQL to SQL Server and I can query and retrieve the sensor data. However, I prefer to store them in my SQL Server for performance reasons.
Solution so far:
Make select openquery statements with the linked PostgreSQL and insert the results to my table in SQL Server. Repeat this periodically and store fresh data only (e.g. with a larger timestamp).
I assume that my proposed solution is not ideal. I want to know what are the best practices to achieve this synchronization between the two databases.
Thank you in advance!
If you don't want to write your own code(implementations) to do that you can use SymmetricDS to synch the table from postgreSQL to MSSQL .

How can I post updates (commits) in oracle db to SQL Server 2005

We have an application (BaaN) on Oracle Database.
We also have an application that is on SQL Server 2005 which uses Oracle (BaaN) contents.
Currently we cache all contents of the Oracle DB to SQL Server nightly through linked server from SQL Server to Oracle.
Thought of using a trigger on Oracle db tables to write contents to Oracle table (DeltaCommits) as the commits occur, and then periodically look for entries in DeltaCommits from SQL Server using a scheduled job.
Or can you please suggest a better way to accomplish this ..
Thanks
It's possible to use replication to transfer data between Oracle and SQL server.
This guide looks like a useful starting point which may help you to decide whether this is a route you want to consider.
