I am interested to have live connection between Snowflake [DWH] and g-sheet.
I already tried couple of solutions but non of them was working properly.
The best solution that I currently have is to use Trevor app on Heroku and then write queries there. Then create a live connection between Trevor and g-sheet.
There are some downsides to this approach - one of them is that even if you do not open the g-sheet, Trevor is running the query in Snowflake every 10 min [ or 60 mins].
From Data Perspective I know that having live connection to g-sheet from "Modelled data" in DWH is not correct but at the current stage of my company, for some of the business owner we need to have something like this.
Do you know any tool OR have any experience with handling similar situations?
There are solutions available using python and the jdbc driver. Just google "google sheets jdbc snowflake"

I need to know, has someone integrated any DB to Semantria, and get output to any DB or excel or text file ?
I have tried to explore semantria via excel and API , but integration does not work perfectly.
It depends on what kind of integration you're looking for.
I have already done many integrations with different storages including indexing services and RDBMS solutions.
Unfortunately there are no ready-to-use components available on the market, so you will need to build integration by your own.
Semantria offers SDK (https://github.com/Semantria/semantria-sdk) for all modern languages, you will need to build a logic that will get analysis results and will save them to a certain storage.
Can you please explain what storage do you use and what Semantria output you're interested in?
Thanks George.
Well at the moment, we are just focusing on pulling the data from DB (take for instance mySQL, or Oracle), and output should again go back to same DB, i will take care of transformation needed in o/p.
Now where I am stuck, is the place where I can set up a link between DB and semantria, how will these SDK help, never worked on something like this.
A brief on this will surely be of great help
May not be the best place to ask sorry if that's true.
I have worked on SQL and while I never worked on QuickBooks I am hoping it is possible to connect to it and just use it similar to a SQL Database. I am wondering I am wondering if it is possible to connect to QuickBooks using ASP. My purpose is to create simple forms and insert the data into QuickBooks similar to what is done on SQL.Occasionally I would just generate reports as well using web pages. All I am wondering is does ASP have the capability to connect to Quick Books and if so can I also run query's similar to SQL and is there any sources or reference available for research ? And what my options are for setting this up. If I have to use asp.net as a last resort that is fine too, though I would prefer to have to be without it.
Thank you
Update #1
While i am working on getting the Version of Quick-Books here is what information I have.
I plan on using ASP-Classic, and I want to develop web forms so this would be a website that can be accessed. This will not be a desktop application I plan on making but various webpage's where you can view Quick-books data, and insert records into Quick-books using forms, similar to what I do for SQL. And the Version of our Quick-Books is 2013 Enterprise Windows Desktop USA edition.
All I am wondering is does ASP have the capability to connect to Quick Books
Yes.
can I also run query's similar to SQL
Maybe.
QuickBooks itself does not provide an SQL-based interface. Communication with QuickBooks is via XML. However, QuickBooks Enterprise comes with something called QODBC which provides an ODBC interface to the XML interface QuickBooks provides, which might get you what you need.
One problem you want to watch out for -- there are times when you won't be able to connect to QuickBooks. e.g. it is not an "always-on" solution like a typical SQL database is. If you're in single-user mode in QuickBooks, or someone closes QuickBooks, or someone is doing a QuickBooks backup, or someone is updating QuickBooks, then you won't be able to connect. You'll have to plan for this in your application.
A better solution might be to use the QuickBooks SDK (specifically the QuickBooks Web Connector). If you download and install the SDK there is example code included. The SDK install also includes about 600 pages of PDF documentation on topics which you are asking about.
Striking out the below stuff since you've provided more details now: But unfortunately you didn't provide anywhere near enough information for anyone to actually give you a decent answer.
How about providing some actual details so that people can actually help you? Like, maybe:
Is this QuickBooks ONLINE, or QuickBooks for WINDOWS, or QuickBooks for MAC? (they are three entirely separate products, with entirely separate sets of capabilities)
What version/year/edition/country of QuickBooks?
ASP classic or ASP.NET?
Is this a website you're connecting from, or is this a desktop application, or...?
I'm looking to write a scaled out SignalR application using SQL Server, using this article as a guidline. After doing some testing, it looks like the table Messages_0 in the SignalR database that I created (per the article) could get pretty big.
What I'm wondering is, how often can this data be cleared out? I see there is an InsertedOn column so I would think after day or two the data wouldn't be relevant anymore. Is there any documentation or guidelines on this?
I'm wondering if I could just set up a job that would clear out anything older than a week just to prevent the table from getting too big over time.
I was looking for the same thing, and I did read the suggestion in the documentation, but I was wondering if SignalR would clean up by itself in that case, and when.
I found the answer here: How to cleanup SignalR SQL database
Which points to the github repository, where you can see how SignalR automatically cleans the tables when reaching a hardcoded limit.
See github code here: SignalR SQL automatical clean-up
Thought it might be useful to add to this question, for anyone searching the same question.
The documentation seems to suggest (albeit briefly), that you should not delete rows yourself.
SignalR manages the tables. As long as your application is deployed, don't delete rows, modify the table, and so forth.
Take a look at: Scaleout With SignalR - asp.net
I've got a website that runs on a shared hosting environment, using ASP.net 2.0 (C#) and MS SQL Server 2005. I've recently been asked if I can integrate my website with a piece of third party desktop software that uses the Access runtime as its database (transparent to the end user).
Primarily I want to be able to offer users of my website the option of exporting their data into the Access database on their local machine. The data schema's match sufficiently, the question is how to actually do this, and in the simplest way possible for the user.
Simply having a webpage update the local Access database isn't possible due to the obvious security restrictions. I've considered asking them to upload the Access database to the server, so I can migrate the data then allow them to download it again, however the competency of the users of this software is such that even locating the Access database, let alone uploading and downloading it from the website might be too complicated.
I've also considered if Adobe Air or Silverlight could help here, but don't know them well enough to know for sure. Similarly I'm assuming another exe could be written to perform this task that the user could simply download and run, however my experience is in web development, not program development, so this isn't a 100% certainty for me, or an ideal development option for me.
So, can this be done, and if so what technique can achieve this, with the stated aims being ease of use for the end user, followed by ease of development by someone with web development as their main skill. Many thanks!
You may find this answer of interest: Best way to stream files in ASP.NET
It is about transferring a file from the server. You could save Excel or CSV and use that to update Access.
Instead of trying to do this in a web page you might just expose some views from your sql server to some client specific logins.
Then within the Access application, allow them to tie to your sql server. You might even provide an access application for getting the data from your site and stuffing it in their local access database.
In my work we have done something similar that is transparent to the user by creating an ActiveX control. The problem is that you are limiting the users to use only Internet Explorer.
I think that the best way to achieve what you are trying to do is by installing a service in the client's computer. If creating a service is beyond your experience you can post a project in a place like oDesk and find somebody that can help you with the development for the money that you are willing to pay to complete your project.
Good Luck.
We are investigating using the Microsoft Mobile Sync Framework and I would like to put together a quick prototype. I am trying to pitch Mobile Sync Framework ofer another sync provider. I have zero experience with it so far, so I am looking for good examples of how to use it to sync backend relational database to SQL Server Compact database to enable working in an offline scenario. It would be very helpful to see a sample syncing solution with Oracle as the back end, but Sql Server should be fine to get an understanding.
Thanks,
Tom
Have you checked out Oracle Database Lite?
It includes a full sync solution for mobile devices, and is (obviously) compatible with an Oracle back end.
You can download it here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/database-lite/downloads/index.html
The download includes full documentation and several source code examples.
see here: Sync Framework Resources Hope that thread helps
For an end to end solution for syncing between a mobile device and a server, have a look at the SyncComm project
Also this article from syncguru should give you a head start on writing your own provider for Oracle - it's quite straightforward to plug said provider into SyncComm - but I can if needs be provide further guidance.
