How do I build a database on the server side communicating with my app (Ionic)? - database

I am new to Ionic and going to build an app which can show some information of art of work. The data would be text, pictures, audios and videos. Thus I have got two questions:
1. Which database should I choose on the server side for storing these data?
I have done some search on Google and it looks like SQLite or MongoDB is a popular choice, but I am not sure which one is better to fit my case.
2. What api can I use for streaming videos from the server?
The questions may be so basic, but if you can give me any guidance, it would be helpful. Thank you.

Semantria Integration with DB

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

Implement search across application

I have one search text box on top bar of my angular application. Something like following.
User can type some keyword and search across application. User will have list of links with some description.
I can implement it at client side as well as at server side. I am using angular at client side and .net at server side.
Can anyone suggest me some framework available to implement these? It can be client side or server side.
I can implement it from scratch, that is not an issue. But first I want to go through solution already available.
Please suggest.
It depends on many things:
if you have very little content to search in, you may opt for a full client-side solution, but that's usually not a very good idea
if you need full-text search, and at least basic semantic features (make sure e.g. "trees" matches "tree"), you should really have a look at Elasticsearch which is pretty easy to setup, and has very good .NET bindings (look for "NEST")
if you want fuzzy suggest on keywords (e.g. tags associated on documents) and are open to paying a service to handle it for you, I can suggest Algolia (http://www.algolia.com) which is a SaaS for search and suggest and should be very reasonably priced if you are in an enterprise environment and not a high-traffic website. We are using it for that use case and we are extremely happy with it.

From Excel to WordPress site app

I am searching for the proper way to build an online database application to behave similar to an Excel datasheets that I have.
I have a working excel file with many calculations, and I need to port this to my WordPress website as a service.
My clients would be able to log into the web app section in WordPress, and manipulate their own data sheet, and get results from all the calculations.
Any idea or direction regarding recommended platform or programming language that can do that ?
Sincerely
Dan
If you want to create a web calculators based on an Excel file I would recommend you to take a look at “Appizy”. It converts instantly a spreadsheet into a standalone web calculation tool (HTML+CSS+JAVASCRIPT). You don’t need to hardcode the whole interface and calculation formulas!
As your Excel file is converted in HTML you can download it and paste it in your WP installation.
If you want to include database you might need to had a bit of PHP on top...
Let me know if it helped you!

Adobe Flex help with accessing database for mobile web?

Thanks in advance for any help. Here is the issue: a client wants his entire equipment inventory accessible by persons navigating to his jquery mobile site. The inventory that exists on the desktop site was, as I understood, built with Flex.
Is it possible to access this database for the jquery mobile site? I believe it is. I was then given this information from someone in the know:
Database:
mlxx.db.xxxxxxx.hostedresource.com
login: mxxx
Pass: dmxxxxx
DSN:
mssql_mlxx.dsn
Cold Fusion DSN:
mssqlcf_mlxx
But I have no idea where to go from here. If you could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. I haven't done too much server side work which is why my question is probably really comprehensive. Thanks.
Based on an interpretation of the access data, It sounds like the data is stored in a SQL Server database, and accessed from ColdFusion.
In theory you can reuse the ColdFusion services that the Flex/AIR app uses from a HTML/JavaScrript website.
Without a full code review, I don't think we'll be able to give you any more specifics than that.

Is it possible to create a database driven website with flash?

I am a newbie programmer and i dont yet have any idea of the WEB. I wish to start learning a technology that will allow me to build websites( database driven) i dont know which one to choose. I know some actionscript3 and flash.
Is it possible to create a database driven website using these alone? Or do i need to learn any other technology? If i do then what should i learn? I know j2se for the desktop and oracle SQL/MySQL
please show me a path. Also wanted to know if there is any technology like Wordpress for J2EE/flash
OK so i finally got the feeling that i need to learn PHP anyway along with css and javascript. So it is fine. Also another query. Which CMS should i consider? Wordpress or Joomla?
You can develop a database driven website using Flash, but only in the same sense that you can develop a database driven website using AJAX. That is, you can build the front-end using Flash/ActionScript but the back-end is built using other technologies. Just like working with JavaScript to develop a front-end, from ActionScript you would be communicating with Java or PHP or Python or something on the server using RESTful calls and then actually working with the database in the server-side scripts.
Honestly = this question is too broad and generic, and answers are easily found with some google searches.
That being said = of course you can build a data driven flash site. The one caveat here is that flash itself is fundamentally client-side technology, so we must rely on other remote tech to do the heavy data lifting. The options are profuse.
For example, a developer might create a front facing presentation in Flex, which is the streamlined, data-centric extension of pure flash. His database interactions are written in php, and these are constantly called upon to deliver content to the user.
So - what technologies to use? Whatever you know. And if you don't know, then learn the ones that are closest to what you know.
Finally, although I am a die-hard fan of flash, this type of project (you didn't specify what you had in mind) could be done with many different technologies. So - maybe flash is the right answer, but maybe javascript (ajax) could manage the same thing and do it without the need of plugins.
Yes you can develop database driven site in flash/action script but you still need and back-end technology i recommend you to check WebORB you can develop the back-end using Java, PHP, or .NET In addition you can use Flash Remoting technology Flash/Flex to communicate with a back-end
Flash can't be directly connected to database. You must use another technique which would be "mediator". I have developed Flash game with MySql database and PHP and I recommend you to use this combination. Here is visually presented this kind of communication: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRi-oxjFfCU
yes, it is possible to crate database driven website with flash and action-script. You would get an XML file when you do action script in flash, so you can store nodes of that XML file into database(mysql). You can then create an Admin interface to manage your database contents, that would indirectly change your xml nodes. So basically you can edit the xml file and store it in the database.
