MySQL introduced a server side utility that lets you manage multiple instances on a remote machine.
I am looking for similar functionality for earlier versions of mysql.
[1]http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/instance-manager.html
I am not familiar with the instance manager, but I have used phpMyAdmin on several systems (including a remotely hosted server) with great success. It supports MySQL 5.0 and 4.1.

I want to build an ASP.NET website with Entity Framework 5 but I do not have permission to install SQL Server on my system, is it possible? If yes, how? If not, any alternative, like files etc...
If you can't install anything, then I'm afraid you're stuck with embedded databases like SQL Server Compact Edition or Sqlite. (and some NOSQL databases as well, I believe some of them don't require a server)
Just don't forget about one thing - embedded databases usually aren't enough for web environment.
For instance:

You could offload the database platform entirely to a remote Azure database; there's lots of info on this online, but this page might be a good starting point.
An alternative would be to host your database on another service like AWS or Microsoft Azure.
I’m looking for a way to build web site which uses PostreSQL to store web pages and allow users to modify them.
Admin user should able to create and changed pages using html editor from browser.
Site runs in Debian Squeeze x64 VPS using Apache. There are already Mono 2.8 and PostreSQL 9.1 applications running in this VPS.
There is no PHP installed but it can probably installed if software requires this.
Maintaining MySql in addition to PostreSQL in same server may be not reasonable so I'm looking for a way to use Postgres.
CMS should provide nice dark theme for web site so that web designer is not required for this.
WordPress PostreSQL plugin page http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/postgresql-for-wordpress/
states this this plugin is not compatible with latest wordpress.
Also this plugin is not updated for a while.
Joomla! does not run in Postgres DBMS.
Drupal 7 seems to support it but comparing to WordPress Drupal usage is smaller.
There are mono ASP.NET applications running in this site so using some ASP.NET CMS seems best.
Latest Orchad does not run in Mono and PostgreSQL.
How to use latest WordPress with PostreSQL 9.1 ?
Which CMS software is best for PostreSQL?
Maintaining MySql in addition to PostgeSql in same server may be not reasonable
I'm not a professional sysadmin, but I'm not sure that's true. Here is a Server Fault question where it is claimed that operating both in parallel works fine: https://serverfault.com/questions/35934/installing-and-running-mysql-and-postgresql-8-4-side-by-side
mySQL is the quasi industry standard in the PHP world, so the biggest products all use it, and in the case of WP (and most others), it's the only database suppored. Adding Postgres support as a requirement seriously limits your options, so installing mySQL side-by-side with Postgres may be a good idea.
That said, Drupal is a perfectly fine, well-esteemed CMS framework and if its features and architecture work for your purposes, there is no reason not to choose it.
I Have an asp.net web service that uses an oracle database. It works when I run it locally but when I upload to the server it gives me ORA-1017. The project on the server is an identical copy of what I have on my local computer, so the password is the same. I tried to install Oracle client 11g r2 because I have been told that the other (don't know which one) oracle client converts the password to uppercase. I don't have much experience with oracle and don't know what is wrong. Any help is appreciated.
The server is Windows Server 2003 32bit, the oracle version is Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production . The oracle server is on another machine.
Update1:
It works now. I reinstalled the oracle client from here. I selected Administrator at the beginning, it seems it matters. There were also 2 clients installed on the server so probably that created problems also, I'm not sure. One client should be enough, it can connect to all oracle versions. This should also work with ODAC as suggested by Andy Arismendi. There is also an (confusing, at least for me) answer here about connecting to oracle that suggests oracle instant client (I think).
So the 3 packages are:
Oracle Client (3rd download link from the top)
ODAC
Oracle Instant Client
You should install only one of these. I don't know the difference between them. It seems they contain similar components.
This doesn't directly address your question but have you looked at ODAC Oracle Data Access Components? This is a .NET library you can use to access the database.
This is a good walkthrough for how to use it. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/dotnet/vs2010-oracle-dev-410461.html
Passwords in versions prior to Oracle 11g were case-insensitive - 11g upwords supports case sensitive passwords. If the server was upgraded from 10g to 11g - the passwords remain case-insensitive till they are changed.
So I'd say try changing the password.

Anyone has any experience using application developed using Oracle PL / SQL Web toolkit and deploying it on WLS 10.3 ?
We have an old application created in Oracle PL / SQL Web toolkit which is currently hosted on OAS. The client wants us to migrate the application to Weblogic server (10.3). I wanted to know if anyone has heard of any plug-in or has any experience in doing this ?
Any pointers in this direction will be really helpful.
Thanks.

Did some digging around this is what i found:
There are two ways of getting this migration done without re-writing the code:
Install OHS(with mod PL/SQL) using Oracle SOA Suite 10g(10.1.3.3) and use .
Upgrade HTML DB from its existing version to Apex 3.2 or higher.
Oracle Documentation says there are 2 ways of doing it: In order to run, Oracle Application Express must have access to either the “embedded PL/SQL gateway” or “Oracle HTTP Server and mod_plsql”.
With Oracle 11g documentation website confirms that Oracle HTTP server is still compatible:
“Oracle HTTP Server: Starting with Oracle Database 11g, Oracle HTTP Server is available on a separate media shipped with Oracle Database. In the previous releases, this product was available as a Companion CD component.
Note: To install Oracle HTTP Server, use the Oracle Fusion Middleware Web Tier Utilities 11g (11.1.1.2.0) media or download.”
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32002/whatsnew.htm#sthref10
To set up OHS and mod_plsql this is the official guide (Downloading from OTN and Configuring Oracle HTTP Server)
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/install.310/e10496/overview.htm#CHDCEJIE
[EDIT:] Let me add this, PL/SQL Web Toolkit & mod_plsql has NOTHING to do with Weblogic. The mod is designed to run on an Apache Instance. Oracle OHS is nothing but modified Apache 1.3. You can dare and try to install modplsql (Or its opensource version mod_owa) on vanilla Apache 2.2 instance but the risk is all yours...
So I developed a web application in ASP.NET and SQL Server 2008. Part of the SQL code I implemented as a .NET assembly (instead of t-sql) because it is performing intense calculations that are better written in C#.
Now I am ready to deploy my application, but I am stuck looking for a hosting company that allows this. Scratch out Discount ASP (see this forum post). I tried emailing other hosting companies and I either get no reply or they say they will not support it.
Any recommendations? What's the big deal with having CLR enabled in SQL Server?
it is disabled by default and most shared hosts will be reluctant to enable it because of the potential added security issues. You could post a request to webhostingtalk. Some options:
Amazon EC2 with SQL Server or SQL Server Express Edition, a VPS (1and1 has a pretty good deal right now) running Express Edition, or of course your own dedicated box
On Amazon EC2 you get your own dedicated box, so you are free to enable / install what you see fit. You could configure a vanilla server then install the SQL Enterprise eval if you wanted.
Your own dedicated box with SQL Express may be your best bet.
