I develop web app front-ends with SQL Server DBs as the back-end.
I've been asked to provide/formulate data so that a user can import this into their Power Bi dashboard, but what data format does this dashboard accept??
It seems like they want a URL from me so I'm assuming I do a web page where I query data from the DB and then the output is purely data on this page (rather than HTML), but what's the accepted syntax!?!?!?
How on earth do you protect this URL data?? Where's the security element of this connectivity??

I am looking to pull site usage data from sharepoint such as daily users, click through rate, which parts of the site they are using the most, which links they are using the most, which documents are being opening the most. Is there a way to do this through excel, any programs, etc. I have been looking at Power BI, Excel, Power Query, etc. I haven't found a way to pull the data from sharepoint analytics itself though.
I am looking to pull data from the sharepoint site and display it as a chart, a Pareto chart for example.
1.The current situation that the site usage analysis page can export:
Site owners can export the 90-days site usage data in an excel file by going to the download button in the upper right corner on site usage page. Report on unique viewers, site visits, popular platforms and site traffic. For popular content on the site (news posts, documents and pages) the report will be for last 7 days.

2.I've also tried getting data from the web in Excel, but it doesn't work. There is currently only one connector between site usage and PowerBI.
I tracked down a published post in UserVoice: Export to Excel on Site usage. You can vote and comment anytime.
3.You might try using the Office 365 Admin API to use, retrieve and store the data in a database, and then report on it with PowerBI. This requires registering with Azure AD and give it permissions to the API.

We are planning our final school project and I need to find out a way to send images from server to client (Flutter App). Due to a lack of experience in a professional environment, I'm struggling to do so.
I've always saved the image name or image path in the database in my smaller projects, got the data via an API, and then just called for the image, which was located on a web server, via HTTP or HTTPS. Pretty easy in Flutter with Image.Network.
However, that doesn't sound like the best option
We are planning on using:
Ubuntu or Microsoft Server (still to decide)
MariaDB alone or with MongoDB, or even MS SQL Server(still to decide)
ASP.NET Core for the API
Flutter App and Web-Interface for client-side
Any suggestions are appreciated!
You are doing correctly in your smaller projects. This is a best way to do. When frontend(mobile app or web app) uploads image using an API, backend(in your case ASP.NET Core) simply stores that in server(in your case case Ubuntu or Microsoft Server). But I would say stores all media files like audio, video, images, documents, etc on AWS S3 bucket because it would be difficult to you increase server disk space if its low where AWS-S3 can store any amount of data.
And after saving that media files on S3 or server store its file url in database. Send this url via API to client when it requests it and from client side you just need to use that url to show or download.
I am new to app development and I am thinking about creating an app which will store all the anime that you are currently watching or have watched in the past. The purpose of this app is to store your progress of an anime/manga so that if you forget which chapter you were on the last time you watched/read the anime or manga.
My plan is to connect this app to myanimelist website and use its feature on my app to find an anime. Then if the user adds the anime to his watch-list then it will store the important data e.g., name, description, author, Image.
I am totally new to app development and I have to create an app for the final year project. As on how to start the app or the resources required I am at loss.
The main topic of my concern is on how I should handle the use of website data or the connection to the database. Is something like using SQL queries? Which database should I use to store the data on local device?
Any help is appreciated.
Your questions
how I should handle the use of website data or the connection to the database.
if You have an API that you are using for your website, then you can use that API to fetch data in your flutter app.In case your don't have an API you have to create one for your app.
Which database should I use to store the data on the local device?
For storing data to the local device you can use sqflite package for flutter to store data. Using sqflite you can write simple SQL queries to fetch or store data in the
database.
Ask if you have any problems.
I have designed my web app using mvc and designed the web api's to send the data to the mobile app in the form of json. I want to understand what to do, if a user registered on the mobile app,I (as the server side) should be able to get this data and save it into my database (again server side) so that the user can access from web app as well with the same credentials.how could that happen? I mean should I design a web api to receive data from the mobile party?I hope my question is not dump or silly or asked wrong because I'm trying to learn and understand. I really would like some explanation.
I am currently developing a mobile app using the Corona SDK and Lua. I need to store information about each user and load the information for the current user when they load the app. What is the best method to store this information for each user, and how would I get this data on app load. I was thinking about using sqlLite and having a single row for each user. However when the user re loads the app I would have no way of accessing the data for the current user because when the app loads I would need something to index the database. Is there any way I can get some information from the mobile device on app load to index the database? Any ideas or suggestions?
I'm not clear on where the database is stored.
If it's remote on a server just use the device ID
system.getInfo( "deviceID")
If it's local and you have multiple local users then use a login.
You could use a registration process for either instance and store
The registration keys for automatic access when launching the app.
take a look at amazon's services.
like S3,simpleDB, dynamoDB..
Some implementations are already available in Code Exchange
