Is Calcium Nitrate and Sodium Nitrate just the same and could also be used in CTB?

We got a lot of those from having a garden, I know chemical formula is not the same but im still wondering if it act like SN too. I don't really have much faint in it but its good to know at least, Thanks.

First, we don't use there a Sodium Nitrate, we use a Sodium Nitrite.

its sodium nitrite not sodium nitrate, you can synthesize sodium nitrite from sodium nitrate pretty easily, but the yield is not that good and i wouldnt trust it to ctb
