It is possible because the device strips everything form a planet and rearranges it by the users specifications, essentially a big Ancient Galactic Terraformer(AGT).
Good idea, but I think the Ancients only intended to place gates on habitable worlds, and the Dakara weapon requires the gates to work, so it's unlikely you'd be able to terraform a planet unless there was a gate there first. And if there wasn't, then there's probably a reason the Ancients never bothered with it.
I can only remember it from the Replicator episodes, though, so I could be wrong.
"You wanna run this ship?"
"YES!"
"W.. well, you can't."

They could have put on near perfect world(like 'hoth' will be in Water) and use the Dakara Device(as the Ancients would think of it) to make it better

what do you think
I don't know if you consider the Atlantis novels then I think the Ancients used different technology as terraformers, of course ofically the novels arent "cannon", just fun to read.

i think of it more as a device which can create a wave of energy desinged to manipulate certain things. i dont think its as advanced enough to turn a pot plant into dust and then tiurn that dust in to a human.
i think its more like it manipulates matter to create certain material needed to form life, essentially creating a 'primordial ooze' which life can then evolve in any way, perhaps all most life has a common ancestry so to speak.
perhaps it can be used as a terraformer, there really no reason why it cant, if they could separate CO2 into some oxygen and carbon....but then you'd have carbon falling from the sky....
slight problem mentioned earlier, it requires the gate...and whats to stop that energy when travelling from the weapon to the gate from 'terraforming' dakara?

actually, we have come across at least 1 planet that was completely uninhabitable, and that was the planet featured in "message in a bottle" where oniell got pinned to the wall by that alien orb thing. that planet was completely lifeless so if the dakara device was still around you could theoretically fix the planet with it.
remember that an half-ascended goauld said that. goauld are not to be trusted.
there's a massive difference between severing all atomic bonds and creating very specific ones
perhaps it manipulates subatomic energy pathways..in the replicator instance severing the kiron pathways between each block...in a terraformer way...making the carbon and the oxygen in carbon monoxide separate to form separate elements
maybe manipulating enough of something to give life a chance at...life
