How do I get a database from ODBC data source to SQL Server 2005? Can I use SQL Managment Studio Express for this?
Yes. Right-click on your database and go to Tasks: Import Data.
It used to be called DTS, but every SQL Server 2005/2008 comes with something called SSIS that is used to import and export data. You can import data into a database from any source, including flat text file, or .xls spreadsheet.

For example I have daily Excel (xlsx) file, which I need to import every day in MS SQL Server Express 2014 which is located in localhost. Firstly Truncate the table.
How can I create some template to import Excel file into MS SQL server?
For example it will be in folder: C:\Reports\1.xlsx
For truncate I know the query:
USE [CompDB];
GO
TRUNCATE TABLE [dbo].[Report_table];
GO
I tried to find in MSSQL Import - Export wizard some templates option, haven't found it there. Moreover, I tried to do this with Toad for SQL Server, but there are no templates available in free version.
Or maybe you know how to do this with MySQL database? It will be better choice for me.
Try the OLEDB approach
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0','Excel 8.0;HDR=NO;Database=C:\Data\Data.xlsx','SELECT * FROM [SheetName$]')
The parameters can vary depending on your Excel version, but I think this will work for you
I am working on SQL Server 2012 and 2014, I want to generate database's .bacpac file through Export data-tier application wizard we can generate the file and import on another server.
Is it possible to generate the .bacpac from Tsql (SQL query) syntax?
You can't do this from T-SQL as it is not a SQL function performing this operation, you can do this either from powershell or the wizard in SSMS:
Extract a DAC From a Database
Or you you can use the command line based SqlPackage.exe:
