I've seen a lot of talk about Oracle adapters for BizTalk 2010.
Is it possible to have BizTalk 2010 without a SQL Server install, or is it too tightly coupled ?
BizTalk only works with SQL server to host it's databases. Check out the requirements.

The Oracle adapters are for integrating to Oracle databases or the "Oracle eBusiness Suite". Whatever that is. I haven't got a clue... :-)

Why SSDT BI installation needs SQL Server installation as we are ultimately going to deploy BI packages on server where SQL Server would already be available?
I need it for SSRS.
SSDT BI does not require SQL Server installed. SSRS does. The tool allows you to develop your reports and when it comes to the Deploy point, you will need an SSRS instance which requires SQL Server. SSDT BI may install a local instance of SQL Server Express, but it is not used for SSRS but for SQL Tools.
I'm trying to use the Microsoft Connectors v2.0 for Oracle (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29283) to connect to an Oracle database through SSIS.
I am running Windows 7 SP 1 (64-bit), with Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate. I have installed the connector:
I also have the 32-bit Oracle client installed on my machine for PL/SQL Developer - it works.
But when I create a package in VS 2013 and try to connect to the Oracle DB - I don't have the option to connect to the Oracle source:either by trying to add a new connection through the connection manager or creating a Data Flow Task and dragging the Oracle Source from "Other Sources" within the data flow.
Any suggestions on how to make this work?
Thanks,
Apparently you need the Microsoft Connectors v3.0 for Oracle to work with VS 2013.
Microsoft Connectors v3.0 for Oracle and Teradata
With the announcement of VS2013 i need to be able to have the following:
-Main Development IDE: Visual Studio 2013
-Integration Services with SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008/R2.
-Integration Services with SQL Server 2012.
Unfortunately i cant upgrade all my SQL Servers to the latest release so i have to maintain a diversified dev env in my laptop.
What i need to do in order to have all the above in one machine?
Probably this is the answer :(
Interoperability and Coexistence (Integration Services)
Also a post made yesterday specifically for SQL Server 2012/2014
SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence downloads
Separate install for each SSIS version i need to develop for.
So it may be like:
Full Visual Studio 2013 for all development except SSIS
VS2012 Shell for SSIS SQL Server 2012
VS2008 Shell for SSIS SQL Server 2008 and 2008/R2
I usually use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 for system development and I always use the built-in SQL Server Express in Visual Studio to create and manage a database.
Currently, I'm learning Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2008 to create and manage a database.
I got some questions here:
What is the differences of the database in built-in sql server in Visual Studio & SQL Server Management Studio? Such as features and limitations.
Will it be better to create and manage database in SQL Server Management Studio instead of the built-in visual studio database?
I encounter a problem which is unable to upload my built-in Visual Studio SQL database to the web server in the past. So is creating database in SQL Server Management Studio much ideal for uploading database file to web server?
Thanks in advance.
Te latest versions of SSMS say "powered by Visual Studio" so your question could be moot. I think using SSMS gets you slightly closer to the database server itself -- which if you are doing admin too may be a good thing.
I have installed all of the oracle software and databases and so on to work with .Net and Visual Studio 2010. There is a tutorial on the oracle website that describes how to work with the entity framework and oracle, yet.. when I am going through the entity data model wizard in visual studio 2010, I get to "choose your data connection", and the only thing there is "ApplicationServices". Yet in the tutorial on oracles website, there is an option for the oracle database? My oracle database is working and viewable from the server explorer... I have tried to edit web.config to add some kind of entry but that seems to have failed.
Did you install an EF provider for Oracle first? Oracle has a beta provider, and there are third-party providers (e.g., from Devart and others) as well.
