No, it is not recommended to glue the toilet closet flange to the pipe. The flange should be secured to the floor using bolts or screws, and the toilet is then secured to the flange using wax rings or sealing gaskets. Gluing the flange to the pipe can make it difficult to remove or replace the toilet in the future.

What tool should be used to square a flange on a piece of pipe?
Square a flange? Lol there is many hundereds of types of flanges so I don't know what flange you are talking about. If its a toilet flange and you want the toilet bolt holes equal to the wall (if its PVC or abs) just use a big pair of pliers or pipe wrench to turn it soon after you glue your flange.

How do you remove a toilet flange?
if it is a PVC flange glued on to the outside of 3" PVC pipe, there is a tool available that will cut it off and you can glue a new flange on the undamaged pipe. It's called a Flange-off. Available at Locke plumbing supply.
How do you set a closet flange for a concrete basement floor?
If you have pipe already in the floor sticking up, you get a toilet ring and screw it down to the concrete with anchors. The blue Tapcon work well for this if you have them where you are at. The ring can be PVC, brass or steel, it doesn't really matter. Install the ring and cut the pipe flush with the surface of the ring. If the drain is PVC, you can chisel out some around the pipe and glue the flange on to the pipe, but you still need to anchor it down. If you are pouring a new floor or running a new drain, use PVC and leave a foot or so above grade when you pour the cement. Then follow the steps above. The flange does not have to be attached to the pipe, the wax ring will seal the toilet to the pipe.
Should a toilet closet flange fit into or over the PVC drain pipe?
They make both kinds. Just make sure it fits snug before you glue it. there are several types a 3x4 fits over 3" and inside 4" but there are ones that will go over 4" and inside 3" I had the same question, especially after installing a 3" flange inside a 3 inch pipe. The trouble with this is that you are 'narrowing down' the drain opening (i.e. restricting the flow) so that clogs are more likely. I know, cause I clogged mine and then my wax ring blew out (while removing the clog), so I had to pull toliet off. I cut out my old flange and replaced it with a 3/4 flange that fit OVER the outside of the 3" pipe. Now when you look down at the flange, you now have a 4" hole, not a narrow 3". The less restrictive opening should help prevent clogs (I hope).
How can I replace a toilet flange?
1. Loosen the 2 nuts that are located on each side of the toilet. Place them in a safe location, because you will need them to remount the toilet.2. Lift the toilet. Set it in a place where the rest of the water can drain from it, such as a shower or bathtub.3. Clean the wax from the flange seal, and then remove the screws that attach it to the floor.4. Measure the pipe that comes out of the floor so that you purchase the correct size. You will need to buy a new flange, a new section of pipe with the same diameter as the old pipe, a pipe coupling, a new wax ring and PVC glue if you do not have any.5. Cut off the flange at the red line. This can be done, from inside the pipe, using a Dremel tool with a reinforced disk for cutting.
How do you do a closet?
Get yourself a few tubes of Green Glue and a couple of sheets of drywall. Apply the Green Glue to the inside walls of the closet and then screw the new drywall layers right over top. Use some acoustical caulk to seal the seams between the layers of drywall and then repaid the inside (if you need to). You'll notice a significant decrease in sound coming from the walls around the closet.
