I am using ClusterPoint database and I really like web interface, but for automation I need to import some data from command-line.
Is there a generic tool available which would allow to import arbitrary XML file into my database from UNIX-style operating system? And is there also a dump utility?
Thanks in advance.
Last time I talked to people from Clusterpoint I was told that there are no CLI tools. Which is strange. But also opens up doors for some interesting contributions from community (if only there would be one :D ).

I'm trying to learn apollo and following the docs and this documentation using sqlite to show how to connect local database to server.
i didn't install sqlite3 but the .sqlite file is in given source.
Even though it was out of the lecture but i got curious how this works though i didn't install it.
i have searched to find why it works and what is difference between these but i couldn't find it so i reached here to ask question about what are the differences and what is better to use.
Thanks!
SQLite is a library extensively used in different programming languages like python, javascript, php etc. This library is made using C-language which implements a small, fast, self-contained, high-reliability, full-featured, SQL database engine. ".sqlite" is a database file which contains all the data stored. This file can be made by executing some code based on syntax of that particular language. For you to work on SQLite, you need to have installed it on your local machine.
I'm currently in the process of converting over 20k database tables from Corel Paradox 4.0 format (DOS Based, with a .db extension) to SQL databases, and rather than using off the shelf software, I'm currently looking into using a light scripting language like Python (or Ruby or PHP, but Python is ideal since I'm working on a Windows desktop setup -- although I could boot one of my Linux VM's for development if needed) for me to write a set of code to simply pull all the .db files in a directory and output a set of .sql databases in just one click.
Now while I know PHP has a limited library built to specifically handle Paradox files, when it comes to Python, Ruby, and other languages I haven't had much luck.
My question now is, when it comes to writing a script to convert formats, how do I go about defining the syntax of the file to be inputted? For example, when it comes to .exe, .zip, .msi, and so on, is there a single format/syntax published for developers to follow, and if so, what are the most comprehensive/solid sources to check?
I currently have a copy of Paradox for Windows which I can use to view the fields and tables, but that isn't helping me with my scripts as it only shows a high-level overview.
Thanks very much for any information,
Why do not you want to use already existing software? For example, a quick googling yielded this toolset (I do not have Paradox databases to test, but it seems to compile correctly).
I want to know if there is a free environment to develop in PL/pgSQL.
Writing the code in Notepad++, replacing the function and running it turns the process slow. I'm using pgAdmin(only to replace and run the procedure) at the moment, but this is not what I want.
I know that there is one similar question here, but this is not duplicated. All the tools to develop are paid, I want to know if there is one free.
I am very happy with following environment.
I use a programmer editor like geany or similar and I edit a file with functions - I put related functions to one file - this is similar to modules from other environments.
I don't use a copy to pgAdmin - it is terrible work - and I don't think so pgAdmin is good tool for editing and maintaining more functions - it is good for ad hoc changes. The editor is not strong - it is simply, and you can't use a usual tools like git, cvs, .. More - you cannot to organize a related functions to one entity.
If I have a one or two files, then I have a opened console, and just import a file to postgres via \i command. If I have a more larger and complex project I use a makefiles - so it automatically import only modified and depended files. This is very good and very effective when you have a project with more then one hundred functions.
If you are looking for a debugger, check http://pgfoundry.org/projects/edb-debugger/ that can be included in pgAdmin. I have never seen any other tool that can debug plpgsql, only pgAdmin.
I had similar question and guys recommended me Toad Extension for Eclipse. You can see the discussion here: Development oriented PostgreSQL IDE
What is the best way to export all JIRA data (projects, issues, ...)? I saw that there is an API and a plugin mechanism which probably can provide all the information. But what is the easiest way to export the data? Does it work out of the box or do I have to implement a plugin?
Generally, there are two main approaches to backup your JIRA data. The first one is to back up your database in which JIRA info is stored. The second one is to use the “Backup Data to XML feature”, which is a JIRA feature. Personally, I prefer the second one, because it can be restored to any database engine (MySQL, MSSQL, etc). In addition, as far as it is Xml, it can be compressed to a great extent.
I have written a little ruby utility that uses JIRA's REST API to export all tickets for a given project to the local file system. It is available as a ruby gem, so the installation is trivial.
The tickets are saved as individual JSON files. The tool also supports incremental updates.
I'm using JIRA v1000.747.1 which has native export to CSV of issues.
If you navigate to https://[your-jira-instance]/issues you should see a query screen with results. Fine tune that via the UI or go to the Advanced menu to do more complicated JQL. Then you can click the export button (upper right) to export to XML/Word/HTML/CSV.
The following add-ons will work out of the box, they are configurable and there is no need to code anything:
Better Excel Plugin for XLSX output
PDF View Plugin for PDF output
You can use both free for 30 days, which should be sufficient to migrate your data to the new issue tracker.
You can use this web application to export the data to Word:

It is quite basic and it could be improved but it is free.
How do I transfer the users of a vBulletin forum to a new installation of IceBB?
Presumably, they both have a database back-end of some sort, right? SQL dump, followed by patching stuff up in your favorite scripting language, followed by SQL load, seems do-able.
There is a tool called ImpEx for vBulletin to do exactly this. It imports and exports users and data. Doing the SQL yourself can be error prone and difficult compared to using ImpEx.
