How can I retrieve data from content database in SharePoint 2013? I need only read from the database. I need also to read metadata as well. I was wondering if anybody could explain it and give me even a tutorial links for that. I am a newbie in SharePoint, I read different articles but I cannot find the information that I need.
One of the first rules of SharePoint that you learn when you start diving in to the product is that you shouldn't ever touch the SharePoint database.
Also, Reading from the SharePoint databases programmatically, or manually, can cause unexpected locking within Microsoft SQL Server which can adversely affect performance.
So you should use sharepoint object model, rest Apis to query data.

I am looking at implementing ES using logstash and Sql server as my data source. I was initially using river to read data from Sql server but one of the developers in my team recommended looking at using logstash. Can anyone point to a guide on how to get started with logstash & sql server. My goal is to do search using elasticsearch.
Thanks
So far, there is not any Logstash API for reading SQL.
For input API supported, you can visit here to get more information
For my recommendation, you can write a program to read from sql and write to a file. Then use logstash file
API to read from the file. The Logstash website has getting started tutorial. It is easy to learn.
Good Luck

I am creating an app that needs all available US automotive make/models for each year. I have read several suggestions on other posts, like use Freebase or DbPedia or EPA, but those datasets all appear rather incomplete and inconsistent. I checked out open APIs like Edmond's, but they restrict storing their data - I need it in my db, so that doesn't work. Any suggestions where I can get this data without having to shell out money?
Apparently there is not much out there. And a lot of doubt that someone would be willing to provide such a repository. So I solved the problem myself, and am sharing my dataset with anyone else who finds themselves facing the same problem.

These guys have an API that will give the results. It's also free to use.
http://www.carqueryapi.com
Note: they also provide data source download in xls or sql format at a premium price. but these data also provides technical specifications for all the make model and trim options.
How about Freebase? I think they have an API available, too.

Is it a custom database, or are they using a 'classic' triple store ?
Chasing some old posts, I found this message on their board, followed by this response to a query directed at the developer mentioned in the first message.
While I doubt the developer's response is the mentioned 'long post' of the first, it notes:
"We have written our own graph database on top of Unix. We don't have an RDBMS or OODB storage layer because conventional databases don't handle the volume of self-joins that graph queries generate. Persistence is via memory mapped files with our own transaction manager, custom tailored to provide exactly the (minimal) ACID requirements that we have."
So unless freebase.com have changed their back end tools since Jan '08, it's a custom database.

I would like to move some users off of MS Access and onto an open-source DB like MySQL, Postegres, or even SQLite. Transferring the tables from one DB to another is no problem, but I need to be able to also provide them with a similar UI as the MS Access forms they are using to input the data. Additionally, I would like to be able to give them nice report outputs that reference a table or query.
What open-source alternatives are suggested/available for easily building and storing queries, forms, and reports similar to MS Access, without a ton of programming needed to get them up-and-running quickly?
Obviously I am immediately targeting Windows alternatives, but I don't want to limit suggestions to just one OS.
Open Office - Base seems to be a good option
We were to solve this problem also and considered OO Base not being very good option (note it was like 4 years ago). So we use MS Access as a frontend with ODBC connection to mysql database. It works quite well.

Often when I find an article in the SQL Server BOL I see that the article has an address of ms-help://.
but I can't forward this "uri" to a colleague who doesn't have the Sql Server BOL --- so the question is is there a consistent mapping between ms-help:// and http://msdn.microsoft.com
MSDN online changes at a different pace than your offline content. Ie. the mapping function may be valid today but invalid tomorrow. What I do I just search the topic title in msdn (using google site:msdn.microsoft.com of course, msdn search is just lame) and the post/mail the link.
Honestly, my answer would be to use the msdn for everything, unless you're personally offline and don't have access to it.
If you like using the MSHELP application, it is possible in the settings to make it use msdn online, rather than local content (this is the default if you don't bother installing the local docs anyway).
This means you always have the msdn link (even in the help application) and therefore can share it with your colleagues.
