Does anyone know of a tool to visualize a graph created in Cosmos DB Graph?
I'm looking for something like Gephi (https://gephi.org/), or the tool that OrientDB or Neo4j use.
I'm looking for something that will "connect" to the database. Gephi appears to require an export, and then it uses the exported file. The tools for OrientDB & Neo4j will connect to the server instance and provide graphical results of queries.
BTW, I'm working with the Azure Cosmos DB Emulator at the moment. So I need something that will work on a local development website (localhost).
Download Cosmos DB extension for vscode.
It works well with gremlin API (with some known issue), check below link
https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cosmosdb
There is actually a pretty decent web app for graph visualizations available in the Azure Portal. Inside your Cosmos account just click the QuickStart button and then select the Guided Gremlin Tour:
Create the SalesGraph (you can point the app at any of your graph enabled collections later) and then download the package and run the solution file. You might have to modify the connection strings in appsettings depending on which graph you want to talk to.

I'm looking for a one click system that doesn't require one to delete the Azure database, publish from the local server, and re-create the user info onto the deployment.
What currently works:
Drop existing Azure database.
MSDeploy the database to azure.
Move the database to the app pool
Configure Azure database user/access
I briefly looked into the Azure sync, but that doesn't seem like something one can use "on request". Do correct me with example if I'm wrong on this assumption.
The ideal solution would be a one button click from Azure Data Studio to push any and all changes from the (localdb) database to the live one.
Azure Data Studio doesn't provide any readymade Single Click data transmission feature from local to cloud or vice-versa.
Azure Data Studio offers a modern editor experience with IntelliSense,
code snippets, source control integration, and an integrated terminal.
It's engineered with the data platform user in mind, with the built-in
charting of query result sets and customizable dashboards.
It doesn't provide in-built data push feature. Either you should use any programming language to build a dashboard as per your requirement, or you need to use Store Procedure for it.
I use Datagrip for SQL development. Recently I've had to work with Salesforce SQL (aka SOQL), but there doesn't seem to be an IDE as useful as Datagrip.
So: I'd like to add Salesforce as a data source to Datagrip, just as I would a Postgres or MySQL database.
Is this possible to do, with an extension or otherwise?
I know https://jetforcer.com/ exists, but it seems to fall short on two counts:
(a) it's apparently just a UI that lives in JetBrains apps, so I don't think it'd fit as seamlessly in Datagrip workflow as I'd like
(b) It costs $60. I don't need to do any actual Salesforce development, so paying $60 just to run queries against Salesforce isn't ideal.
DataGrip can support any database that have JDBC driver.
First of all, you need to find JDBC driver for the database. In your case that can be:
http://reliersoft.com/download/salesforce-jdbc-driver/
Then follow the instructions of generic-JDBC data source configuration:
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/datagrip/connecting-to-a-database.html#vertica_as_unsupported_dbms
URL should be like jdbc:sforce://<hostname>
(More options are available in driver's docs http://reliersoft.com/salesforce-jdbc-driver-documentation/)
After that you can run queries and view data.

I came from Parse to Azure and faced the problem with Azure Mobile Services. When I'm trying to setup data tables in the browser it is possible to add attributes with 4 types only, such as String, Number, Date and Boolean. It is not enough for me.
Can anyone help me how can I obtain other types (BLOB, Pointer, etc.)?
I'm new to Azure and working with OSX.
The best way to manage blobs is through azure blob storage you can find how to do this through https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-ios-how-to-use-blob-storage/
The best way to manage the tables is through Microsoft Management Studio and connect it to Azure SQL Database.
If you are coming from Parse, why not continue to use Parse?
See: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/azure-welcomes-parse-developers/
Azure Mobile Apps / Services both deal with SQL Database Tables - if you are on an ASP.NET backend, you can support anything that Entity Framework supports. However, SQL databases tend to be more involved than most Parse developers are used to.
If you are just switching, but want to use the same development experience, just continue using Parse Server.
My team which is a part of a university needs me to develop a web based application for them which can be accessed by any team member. However the university doesn't provide us with a database.
We do have a portion in their server but that's for our public website. Even if I put the application on that server, I need to have a database. I can't use an excel sheet for storing all the data cause it will be huge. I am looking for an optimal solution.
Never fear there are a number of non RDBMS (Oracle, MySQL, MS SQL Server, etc.) solutions around.
You can try many of the document databases under No-SQL banner, with some popular options being:
RavenDB if you are developing your web application in the Microsoft stack.
MongoDB is a great well supported open source document database.
BaseX or Sedna are useful XML databases.
Alternately you can look to Cloud (some offer free services, others are commercial and will need to pay for) databases such as:
Amazon RDS
Elasticsearch
Windows Azure
Choose:
http://www.sqlite.org/
http://www.db4o.com/
Both will give you a database ability with no prior machine configuration or setup package.
For a small team group, specially with no more than 3 developers, I would recommend you to look at CloudBees. They offer a free tier where you can have on the same platform a repository, a Continuous Integration tool, so you can build and test your app every time you do a commit, and a runtime environment where you can deploy a Java, a Play or a PHP application. You can also create free databases.
In the case you wanted to have a visual git repository, you can use GitHub and link your source code with your Jenkins job.
In this way, you don't need multiple tools for your development environment.
So I'm inexperienced in hosting DB's and I've always had the luxury of someone else getting the db setup.
I was going to help a friend out with getting a webpage setup, I've got experience in Asp.Net MVC so I'm going with that. They want to setup a search page to query a db and display the results. My question I have is in getting the DB setup and hosted. They currently just have the Access DB on a local computer. There is basically only one table that would need to be queried for the search.
What is the best approach to getting this table/db accessible? They would like to keep the main copy of the db on the local machine, so copying the entire db over to the hosted site would be time consuming, could the lone table needed be solely copied to the host? Should I try to convince them to make changes on the hosted db and just make copies of that for their local machines? Any suggestions are welcome, Again I'm a total noob when it comes to hosting databases.
Thanks
Added: They are using a MS Access 2000, and the page will have access restrictions. Thanks for the responses.
How about SQL Server Express? I think you can do a remote connect from Access and just push the data over from Access.
I wouldn't use Access on a web server in any case.
I would strongly recommend against access from web work, its just not designed for it and given that SQL server express is free there is no reason not to give it a go.
You can migrate the data over by using the SQL server upsizing wizard, here is a link for help on using that feature

It depends on what you mean by web work? Access 2010 can build scalable browser neutral web applications. They can scale to 1000's to users. In fact, you can even park the web sites on Microsoft's new cloud hosting options, and scale out to as many users as you need.
Here is a video of an application I wrote in access 2010. Note how at the half way I run the same application including the Access forms in a standard web browser. This application was built 100% inside of the Access client. The end result needs no ActiveX or Silverlight to run.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU4mH0jPntI
So, the above shows that access can now be used to build scale web sites (you can ignore the confusing answers by the other two posters here they are not quite up to speed on how access works or functions).
However, for your case, I would continue to have the access database on the desktop. You can simply link to tables that are hosted on the web server. Those tables can exist in MySql, or sql server. As long as the web site supports external ODBC connections (many do), then you can thus have the desktop application use the live data from the web server. If connections to the live data at all times is a issue, then you could certainly setup something to send up new records (or the whole table) on some kind of interval or perhaps the reverse, and pull down new records on a interval from the web site (depends which way you need to go). So, connecting to MySql or sql server is quite easy as long as the web hosting and site permits external ODBC connections. I do this all the time, and it works quite well.
As mentioned, new for access 2010 is web site building ability but that does requite Access Web services running on SharePoint.
You don't need to upgrade to Access 2010. One option is to use the EQL Data plugin to sync the database up to the server. Then you can write an asp.net, php, or whatever application that queries the table using the EQL API and prints the results however you want. This kb article describes how to use the EQL API from a web app.
The nice thing is that the database is still totally usable (and at full speed) even when you're not online, and then you can sync the new data up to the web occasionally. It only uploads the changes, not the entire database every time, so it's fast.
Disclaimer: I work at EQL Data so I'm a bit biased. But this kind of use case is the whole reason the company exists.
