How can I ONLY fetch data from database but not create database or some these things? I didn't found tutorial, that shows how to fetch data only.
For example, I have in database name (key) "Support" and next to text "Contact support" so how I can retrieve text "Contact support" with key "Support"?
Please as simple as possible.

I'm migrating a customer CRM database to Dynamics CRM. It's about accounts, contacts, and activities. Unfortunately, the previous CRM was not really well used so the data are a bit confused:
While creating a contact, you have a field "Company" that is a "look up" field as we can find in Dynamics. But, if you write something in there and you don't look up for the company entity, the value entered becomes just a value of the field "COMPANY" in the "CONTACT" record.
That's why I have some contacts that are not really associated with companies.
In Dynamics, I'm using the Import Wizard to imports those entities. Is there a way to add the contact's company if it not already exists while importing contacts?
You need to handle this during the Create – by a plugin with a step, or by a workflow. Both works similarly to DB trigger. Plugin is basically .dll written in C#, running in a sandbox, using some of MS libraries. It is registered by external utility. Workflow is something you can do without programming right in the CRM UI. It is easier do deploy, but it has less possibilities. You can find enough information about both online.
I would recommend following process:
Create temporary custom text field on a Contact entity to store account name as a text.
Before the import, in the import file, create a copy of account column with another name.
One account column should be linked to account lookup (parent customer). This is for automatic joining contact and account. The other column is linked to the created field.
Your routine (workflow or plugin) to process this will have following condition to proceed: If account lookup is empty. Then you will create a new account by using information from Contact (mainly account name) and then associate the account and contact (update of the contact record). Optionally erase account text field on the Contact.
At the end, you should deactivate or remove the routine. If you’d use it more often, you need some condition to recognize records are created by import.
I have a bunch of pdf documents but all the document data are in a database (file name, description, id of the client, and the complete pdf content as a field of the data base).
Is possible to relate the pdf parser to take the data from a field of a database crawler?
thanks
Using PHP, does anyone know how to make it so that when someone registers on a website (and therefore enters data into a database), a folder with a default php file is created on the web root/server???
This is not a good design. Rather, you should have your PHP files look at the session to find the logged in user's id, and query the necessary data about that user id. You don't need a file for each user. You can make your table auto-increment a user id.
I'm building a site where I want to allow users to keep wishlists of movies they want to see and movies they already have seen. To do this I want to use data from the movie tmdb, but I'm not sure how to handle this.
What if a user comes on my site and enters the query 'Batman', what is the next step I should take?
Search my own database for 'Batman'
Search API for 'Batman'
Merge results from own database and external and print, but don't save anything to my db
If a user then clicks on a result that's not in my database I would do another request to the API for the more detailed information, also saving images and so on before showing it to the user.
Is this the way I should go about this or is there a better way?
You should browse API for this movie. Data in TMDB Api is often changing, so I suggest you not to store it for a long time in your db.
I have a situation where I am uploading an image in sharepoint and it is being saved using blob. I need to create an XML file with the data of the blob and other data that helps users to identify it. The following is a hint of what I want
<image>
<name>mydog</name>
<extension>.jpg</extension>
<blobid>0234234</blobid>
<blobpath>435343445</blobpath> </image>
I was looking at the tables in wss_content and came up to alldocumentstreams where there is a column called rbsid. unfortunately I cannot link this id to non of my documents. My question is this is there a way how i can get all the blob information from the DB so i can link it to other details?
Directly accessing the SharePoint database isn't supported by Microsoft.
If a server component requires information from the database, it must
get that data by using the appropriate items in the SharePoint object
model, and not by trying to get the items from the data structures in
the database through some query mechanism.
You might be better using the SharePoint object model to read these files.
