Any way to extract data from the "Organizer" database?

I asked a similar question in the Lightroom forum but I'm asking it here as well. I'm thinking of either getting Lightroom or Elements but my only concern is being able to access to all of the meta-data that I tag my photos with in the "Organizer". Most likely I'll spend hours organizing my photos and I want to be able to access this data from outside the organizer for read-only purposes.
I realize that from inside of orgainizer all of this is available to me but I want to be able to use other tools and apps (that I'll write myself when needed) to get access to my photo catalogs.
Does Adobe have any sort of API or library that 3rd party apps can use to access the data in Organizer? I searched the Adobe web-site but didn't find anything. Ideally I could run a SQL query against the database to get what I want.

This idea intrigued me, so a did a Google search on "extract photo metadata", which resulted in some interesting links.
You might want to investigate some of these further.
One which looked quite interesting along the lines of the read/write of metadata can be found here:

  • Is there any way to hide data from the BW developers in BW environment?

    my company needs a special case where the BW developers need not see the HR data like income, age etc of the other employees but when a report is printed, the data should be displayed. Is there a possibilty like this?

    Hi Nasa,
    Please try the authorization object S_RS_ICUBE. One of the fields is "SubObject". One of the choices for this field is "Data".
    Be sure that your developers do not have this field for the InfoCube/InfoArea in question.
    That might work.
    Another option (if you are on BI 7.0) is turn on authorization relevance for one of the InfoObjects in the Cube.
    Then, be sure that the developers do not have an analysis authorization with this characteristic (or that they don't have 0BI_ALL). This is another layer, and might not stop access in all situations, for example transaction listcube.
    Good Luck

  • Is there a way to extract data from one of e.g. 7 rows from the multicolumn listbox?

    is there a way to extract data from one of e.g. 7 rows from the multicolumn listbox?

    All the data can be extracted by creating a property node and read the Item Names property...then you get a 2D array of all the rows and columns. Wire that array into an index array function and input the row you want (e.g. the listbox value, if you want the row currently selected...)...that's it. See attached example.

  • Best way to extract data from archived cube

    Hello Experts,
    Can anyone tell me best way to extract data from archived cube.
    Basically I am trying to pull all the data from archived cube and then load it into another brand new infoprovider which is in different box.
    Also I need to extract all the master data for all infoobjects.
    I have two options in my mind:
    1) Use open hub destination
    or
    2) Infoprovider>display data>select the fields and download the data.
    Is it really possible to extract data using option (2) if records are too high and then load it into another infoprovider in new system.
    Please suggest me the pros and cons for the two options.
    Thanks for your time in advance.

    Hello Reddy,
    Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
    Actually in my case I am trying to extract archived infocube data and then load it into new infoprovider which is in different system. If I have connectivity I can simply export data source from archived infocube and then reload into new infoprovider.
    But there is no connectivity between those two systems (where archived cube is and new infoprovider) and so I am left with the two options I mentioned.
    1) Use Open Hub
    or
    2) Extract data manually from infoprovider into excel.
    Can anyone let me know which of the two options is the best and also I doubt on how to use excel in extracting data as excel have limit of no.of records 65536
    Thanks

  • Is there any way to recover data from a cleared soft partition?

    Is there any way to recover data from a cleared soft partition? <eom>

    You could try using 'metarecover'. I don't know if that works after a metaclear, but it's the only think that I could think to try.
    I think you could brute-force search for UFS filesystems within the underlying storage, but that's pretty tedious.

  • My iphone 4 is dead with water damage. Is there a way to recover data from the dead phone.

    My iphone 4 is dead with water damage. Is there a way to recover data from the dead phone. Could any one help where exectly the memory chip (not RAM) resides in the phone. Is it on the motherboard or a seperate component in the phone?

    The iPhone's internal components are soldered together. There is no way to recover data from your phone if it refuses to power up.

  • Is there any way to EXTRACT subtitles from a DVD?

    Is there any way to EXTRACT subtitles from a DVD? My ultimate goal is to convert an existing DVD into a flash file for web use. It has subtitles which I want to retain. I have tried pulling the DVD files (.VOB) and encoding them to .wmv.
    I was thinking perhaps I could import the DVD into Premiere, Encore, etc. I am able to pull the DVD video files off but the subtitles track/file is NOWHERE to be found.
    Any ideas?

    You cannot do this with Adobe tools. The subtitles are a separate image stream inside the vob.
    As with any third party or Adobe tools, I assume you are using them for legal purposes.
    Try the following link for a description of a process used. I have not used this tool. It is one of many, but I thought the description was useful.
    http://www.booki.cc/avidemux/extract-dvd-subtitles/
    The easier way to do this is to get the subtitle file from the creator. However, many DVDs are created using a script image file, the person authoring the disk may not have a text file of the subtitles, and I don't think you can use an image subtitle file for flash subtitles.

  • How to extract data from the fields present in two or three tables

    Hi Experts,
          I have a scenario where i have to extract data from the fields of different tables. e.g. let there 2 tables which have some number of fields . I want the data of 3 fields each from these 2 tables. How can i get that??
    Sam

    Hi
    You can create view in tcode se11..
    here you include all tables from which you want to fetch the data..
    you need to give selection condition here
    eg..
    say select empname from table A, select empadd from table B.. where empno(from A)=empno(from B)
    (note that you dont need to write queries like this.. i have just given u the example)
    After creating the view you can create datasource in RSO2..

  • Looking for SAP solution to extract data from the production system

    Hello,
    we are looking for the SAP standard tool to extract data from the production system and copy it to the development system. It should be as functional as some kind of partial client copy. The data, which we need to replicate is master and transactional data from FI, CO, AA MM and nice to have FS-RI modules. There is a product offered by the IntelliCorp called "Data Management" but we would like to know if SAP offers its own product.
    Kind regards,

  • Extracting date from oracle/other databases exactly to java

    Hello Friends,
    Iam creating a simple program which extracts data from any database and stores it in an XML file and also it can extract data from an XML file and updates the database.
    My program is just getting the tablename as an input and from that it builds the query (select * from tablename). Through ResultSet, Iam extracting date fields with getDate() method of ResultSet, which is yeilding converted dates [In oracle if date is 23-DEC-1980, Im getting it as 1980-12-23 in java]. Even getString() method of ResultSet doesn't work.
    I want my program to work with any database engine, which may have their own date formats. Kindly can anyone suggest me a way to extract date from any database exactly as it is to java.
    NOTE:: I can't use to_char(datefield) type commands in SQLQUERY as the only input to my program is tablename and my query is, select * from tablename.
    Regards,
    Ch.Praveen.

    HI Friends,
    Thanks for your fast replies. My program is extracting data from a database and generating an XML file for it, which is as follows.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <table tableName="EMP">
    <row>
    <column columnName="EMPNO" columnType="NUMBER">7369</column>
    <column columnName="ENAME" columnType="VARCHAR2">'SMITH'</column>
    <column columnName="JOB" columnType="VARCHAR2">'CLERK'</column>
    <column columnName="MGR" columnType="NUMBER">7902</column>
    <column columnName="HIREDATE" columnType="DATE">'1980-12-17'</column>
    <column columnName="SAL" columnType="NUMBER">800</column>
    <column columnName="COMM" columnType="NUMBER" />
    <column columnName="DEPTNO" columnType="NUMBER">20</column>
    </row>
    <row>
    <column columnName="EMPNO" columnType="NUMBER">7499</column>
    <column columnName="ENAME" columnType="VARCHAR2">'ALLEN'</column>
    <column columnName="JOB" columnType="VARCHAR2">'SALESMAN'</column>
    <column columnName="MGR" columnType="NUMBER">7698</column>
    <column columnName="HIREDATE" columnType="DATE">'1981-02-20'</column>
    <column columnName="SAL" columnType="NUMBER">1600</column>
    <column columnName="COMM" columnType="NUMBER">300</column>
    <column columnName="DEPTNO" columnType="NUMBER">30</column>
    </row>
    </table>
    Here you can observe that HIREDATE column is having date in different format than in oracle. We are getting an error while we are extracting data from an XML file and updating the database, as dateformats differ. Can anyone provide a solution, which extracts date from database to java exactly as per the dateformat in database.

  • How can i save the data from the Oracle database to my local directory

    How can i save the data from the Oracle database to my local directory instead Of saving the data file to the Directory created on the Oracle Server ?
    I require to design the Procedure which will pull the data from various tables and needs to store the data in the Client's local directory.

    Since SQL*PLUS runs on the client, you can use SQL*PLUS to spool data to your local drive.
    You could also use the database to write a a specified drive where all users have access to (mapped network drive, e.g.). I wouldn't recommend doing it that way, but it is sometimes useful when the files are created in some nightly batch run.

  • Extract data from Solution Manager database

    Hi,
    I am investigating the possibility of using SQL to extract alert data
    from the Oracle database directly.
    I have looked in the database to find the tables which would provide
    such information, and I have found some promising tables.
    But I need to understand how the data is stored in the Solution Manager
    system, I see that once the solution manager application is started it
    pulls the data from the CCMS alerts on the remote systems. But that
    data needs to be stored somewhere. Can you tell me if it is buffered in
    an internal table or a structure.
    Is it possible to use the SAP tables to produce such a report, or which
    BAPI's can I use to extract the data.
    Thanks
    Chris aka BoobBoo

    Hi Chris:
    If you want to interact with the Alerting data, you should use the XAL External Interface for Alert Management.
    You can find the additional information and also the XAL BAPI guide in SAP Service Marketplace under System Monitoring.
    Hope this helps!
