I created a database in NetBeans, and I was wondering if it was possible to open it in OpenOffice or Access for easier ease of use. The database is stored locally. Thank you in advance!
In order to open the database using Microsoft Access you would need to have an ODBC driver for Derby (Java DB). Access does ODBC but it does not "do" JDBC.
However, OpenOffice/LibreOffice Base does in fact "do" JDBC so you could simply use the same JDBC driver (JAR file) that you used with NetBeans JDBC to open the database in OpenOffice/LibreOffice Base via JDBC.
You have to use JDBC to access a Derby database programmatically.
However, there are command-line tools that access a Derby database, for example Derby's own ij tool as well as others.
Many other software packages have the ability to "call out" to a command-line tool. If either OpenOffice or Microsoft Access have the ability to "call out" to a command-line tool, you should be able to have them call out to ij (or any other JDBC command-line tool of your choice) to access the data you want.
For example, you could invoke ij, have it run a simple script that called SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_EXPORT_DATA to export some table data to a csv file, then import that csv file into OpenOffice or Microsoft Access.

I can select Python script as a new data source in Power BI, but I haven't found similar option to import data for my Analysis Services Tabular Project in Visual Studio. Can anyone give me a hint?
Here's a little bit more detail about my question. When we want to import new data for analysis to Power BI Desktop we can select from many other sources 'Python script', input python code and get a required dataset as a table for creating model. Good idea, but it's not quite convenient to access this model from Excel. So I decided to deploy my model to SQL Server Analysis Services. Having started new SSAS Tabular Project in Visual Studio, I discovered that there is no such possibility to import data in my model using python script, as I am used to in Power BI Desktop. I'm not so proficient in VS and hoped there might be some "tricks" to solve the problem. That's what my question was about.
Thanks to David I see now that only possibility to execute python code on SQL Server is to embed it into SQL statement. I installed ML Services, wrote a couple of procedures and everything works fine now.
Analysis Services 2017 doesn't support Python data sources. You can use a SQL Server instance (possibly installed on the same server) to host the Python code with Machine Learning Services.

I have a SQL Server database with lots of data and an empty MySQL database. Now I want to copy all data of SQL Server database (including the database schema) to the MySQL database.
I thought about using raw SQL dump, but SQL Server's SQL syntax is not same as MySQL.
And I have googled some database migration tool, such as south (only for django), simple-db-migration (only for one type of database, maybe PostreSQL?) and SQLAlchemy (I haven't finished learning it, just feeling it somewhat clunky).
What tool can I use to do this migration?
I'm usually using opendbcopy for these kind of jobs ...
I tried this tool once http://dbconvert.com/convert-mssql-to-mysql-pro.php , but you have to pay for the full version. Of course you can write your own migration script e.g. in PHP. On Windows it will be easy to connect to MSSQL server, from a Linux machine you have to use ODBC and that is sometimes a bit messy to install and configure.

I am trying to create a log in page for my application. Since there are multiple users, my page will have the ability to store user names and password. I am using VS2012, being that I am new to programming, I am not sure if using Access or SQL Server. If I create the database to store the log in info, when I compile the program how would that affect the user who installs the program. Would the database "go with the program" when compiled?
I can also use Access to store the data, but I have the a similar issue. If the user's computer does not have Access installed on their PC, how would the table be accessed?
This is probably an entry level question, I have done some research on this but have not found much information.
If you store the login information in a Sql Server Database then you need to install the SqlServer on the customer PC and distribute your database file with your application. It is not an easy task to do in a setup project and probably this is a possible motive for Microsoft to develop the LocalDB version of Sql Server that is a little bit more easy to install.
In the case of Access you need to distribute the MDB file (your database) and (if you stay with the 2003 version) nothing else because all the required libraries are distributed together with the NET framework. In case you want to use the ACCDB file format then you need to install on the customer PC the Microsoft Access Database Engine. However in Access you could find problems with 32bit and 64bit version of the OS. It is advisable to use always the x86 as target platform.
There are also alternatives like SQLite and Sql Compact Edition.
In these days, I would use the cloud. Make your program a webapplication and use an SQL database. Then the program would be accessible in any location where there's access to an internet connection. This means that it can be used on Windows, Mac's, Linux, tablets, smartphones and even smart tv's (Not that anyone uses that).
There's good tutorials on how to do this for a webapplication from PHPacademy. See:

I want create a task as scheduler to get Data From SQL Server 2000 to Oracle ?
how i can do it ? thanks
This kind of processes are called ETL automation.
You should first write appropriate code accomplish the data transformation and extraction prior loading to other system. You have several options. One of them is using SQL. You may use either oracle to get data from SQL server or vice versa.
It is better to convert this code to a batch executable to able to run from command line.
Choose a scheduler to execute the job according to your business requirements.
Alternatives are cron for ux platforms, windows task scheduler for ms platforms, open source frameworks to implement your own (like quartz), open source products if you do not have budget or more professional commercial ones like TlosLite.
In Sql server you can create DTS job to transfer the data from SQL server table to Oracle table.Later using SQL server Agent,you can schedule this job.

I'm working on a large SQL Server database with no documentation. Is there a good, preferably free, documentation generator tool I can use to get my head around it.
One tool that I'm using more and more to do this sort of thing is LinqPad (www.linqpad.net). This is far more than just a Linq tool. It is very good at allowing you to drill down through table relationships, as long as FK's are properly in place. This tool is free.
On the non-free side, we also use Red-Gates SQL Doc (http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-doc/). Excellent tool.
You might want to have a look at my new (non-free, sorry) tool - LiveDoco - it's a web app that can be installed on an intranet IIS or even on a local IIS server and then you can just use your favorite browser to connect to a SQL Server database and see its structure/metadata, edit object descriptions or even search in DB object names (tables, columns, functions and their parameters etc.) and in the extended properties where the descriptions are usually stored (under “MS_Description”). And finally there is an export feature you can use to export all extended properties to a SQL file that you can run on a different DB of the same/similar structure to import/update your descriptions/notes there.
There is a fully functional (but read-only) online demo at http://www.livedoco.com.
