Developing through Databases and servers

Is it possible to have the basic information for the app on a database and link it to the app (written in VB) using a server? If so, how? 
This is rather than typing loads of pages and instead can reduce the size of the app and have less frequent updates.

You will have to host a WCF Service on our server where you have database. And you can consume WCF Service from Windows Phone.

  • XML, stylesheets, databases, and servers...

    Hi! I have rather complicated design problem, and I'm if XML does the
    trick. I have made an experimental web server, that acceccess my more experimental database. I would like an opinion of my quite massive idea, of how to implement that.
    Currently the server's output are done by println's. I want to get out of this, since it's hard to manage, and custom templates are hard to implement.
    I was wondering using XML with stylesheets. I have earlier made a cool system that creates smartly with minimal effort XML structure from instances. Then user (or user via a gui) could define the page templates in another XML file. With template I mean, how many records in one page, the backgroundimage, every other row different color like here in java forum, the outlook basicly.
    Then on a request server would go through the template XML file, and on that XML-file, the XML structures of objects will be joined to that according to directions in template, causing a whole page of xml to be generated.
    Another thing why I want to create XML-file is that I want also to do a gui with swing to this database, and it could be more easily done, if the output is well defined XML structure.
    Then the stylesheet, which is also part of template would be applied to that xml file, and decent output is recieved from server. Now before I start creating this whole system, I would like to now is it possible? And second question, is it possible to make it work smoothly?

    I went through some of the material the site offered. Quite cool, although I'm disapponted about that every new idea I get somebody has already done it. It used some of the implementation that I would have used, (the aspects of memory usage and the piping of the transformation process), but I learned too some new ideas from it. I cannot decide wheter I should be unique and create my own sofware or use the Cocoon... I have been known to take the hardest path for challenge usually, so maybe I should create my own server:)

  • SP2010 Foundation Post Install issues on development workstation - Database and Services

    Just recently installed SP2010 Foundation for a development workstation.  Platform isWin7 X64 pro, SQL 2008 (Developer edition)
    (1) Looks like search has some configuration issues.  This is in the Windows event log
    The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.SharePoint.Search.Administration.SPSearchJobDefinition (ID 38eefca2-d092-47f4-a833-23f8280c5f63) threw an exception. More information is included below.
    The device is not ready.  
    (2) In Central Admin > Servers in Farm
    Status - "Upgrade Available", 
    (3) In Central Admin > Manage Database Upgrade Status
    Sveral of the Datbase(s) mention that upgrade is recommended, but one in particular mentions that the DB is too old?
    WSS_Search_GHHTY
    SPSearchDatabase
    Database is too old and upgrade is required
    Huh?  
    (4) Looking at my local SQL 2008 instance that SP2010 created, I see several DB's with "Config" in the name along with a guid on the end of the name.  Is the result of re-running the configuration wizard several times while
    I was correcting install issues?

    here is question, i am assuming its fresh install not upgrade...
    when you run the config wizard( you mentioned many times), which option you select from 2nd try to on ward....cannot disconnect this server from farm?
    are you using any script to install ?
    I would say run the config wizard without disconnecting and this server will host CA option.
    from the central admin > manager server in farm...on top you will see farm version and config database name. note it
    from the Manage database Upgrade status page note all the db names
    now match it on sql and keep those and all other should gone now as a clean process.
    Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog

  • Oracle 9i Database and Developer Installation

    I am a student going through the Oracle Developer Certification and I am hoping someone can help me with some troubleshooting. This has to do with installing 2 different services on 2 home directories. I installed the Oracle 9i database enterprise edition on the c drive on my laptop. Today I installed the Developer software as well on the c drive on a different directory. I now have the problem that I cannot connect to SQLPlus on the database side and I can not access datatbase connection on the Developer/Form side either. When I installed the developer software I created a new directory called OracNT since it would not allow me to install it on the orahome90 directory (database was installed here)....Does anyone have any advice on what to do? I have install and unistalled both the database and the Developer software and I am getting the same issue...All help would be appreciated.
    lari

    Lari,
    Not quite the right forum for this, but I suspect your tnsnames.ora file in both the
    network directories under the two ORACLE_HOMEs does not have an entry
    for the local database.
    On trying to connect you should get an error message and number. Use these
    and search within metalink, there are a number of good articles on network
    configuration.
    There are also network configuration assistants available from the database windows program
    menu.

  • Creating A New Oracle Database And Sql Developer

    Hi,
    I'm a newbie to Oracle and and a not so newbie to Sql Server and Visual Studio.
    I am trying to learn Oracle on my local machine. I want to create a new Oracle Database and start learning from there.
    I have downloaded sql developer, the data modeler, and the Oracle Client. Could someone please provide some guidance on how to create a Oracle Database?
    From the responses, it appears that none of the items I mentioned actually creates a database. Sql Server provides a free download, also a developer version for a minimal fee. What specific Oracle product would be best to provide this type of service?
    Thanks,

    Edited by: user8948230 on Jan 7, 2010 9:50 AMIn addition to downloading and installing the database software to create a database, might I also suggest you start getting familiar with the documentation.
    Learning where to look things up in the documentation is time well spent investing in your career. To that end, you should drop everything else you are doing and do the following:
    Go to tahiti.oracle.com. Drill down to your product and version.
    Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab you will find the complete documentation library.
    Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what kind of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
    Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what kind of information is available there.
    Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
    Do the same with the Utilities manual.
    You don't have to read the above in depth. They are reference manuals. Just get familiar with what is there to be referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
    After you have familiarized yourself with what is available, read the "2-Day DBA" manual to help get you started.
    Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
    - Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual.
    - Look in your alert log and find all the non-default initialization parms listed at instance startup. Then read up on each one of them in the Reference Manual.
    - Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
    - When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again.
    Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.

  • Installing Oracle Database and SQL Developer

    Hi, I was looking for some help/advice in regards to installing an Oracle Database and SQL Developer onto a Windows 7 32bit machine. I have been asked to create a database to store data that I create through reports in Excel so I am required to create a local database but not sure how to go about doing this. Also not sure if I install the Express Edition or Oracle Database 11g R2. If somebody could please advise on how I can get this started or even any links/tutorials that would guide me in how to get this installed with a localhost.
    Thanks in advanc.

    Thanks guys, I have managed to install Oracle 11gR2 and I have setup a database using the dbca tool and I can connect to my new database. One thing that I have noticed is that when i look into my tables in sql developer i see loads of different tables i.e. def$_, logmnr_, etc and I am not sure why this is as I expected an empty tablespace.
    Thanks btw for all your help.
    One of the key principles of relational databases is that they use their own facilities to manage themselves.  That means the database management system uses the database to manage data about the database using exactly the same facilities (tablespaces, tables, user accounts, procedures, etc) that an application uses to keep data for the application. See "data dictionary"   So there is no such thing as a completely empty database.
    As said by others, you do NOT want to be creating your own tables under oracle's schemas (users) or in oracle's own tablespaces (esp. SYSTEM and SYSAUX).  Create your own user account/schema.  Create your own tablespace. Make that tablespace the default for that user.

  • Developer 6.0 and starter database on NT

    Hello
    I had Oracle 8.0 on NT and i usually use it
    But now when I install Developper 6.0 i can't

    "Procedure entry point nsevevent could not be located in the dynamic link library NS80.DLL"
    Removing developer 6.0 and reinstall my oracle database, then my database work well before i re-install developer 6.0
    I copy the NS80.dll in temp directory, install developer and reput my copy of NS80.dll in oracle directory, I got the same error message.
    Using Developer to start database or using oracle application (navigator, sqlplus..) or try manually and I got the same message.
    If anyone know how to make developer6.0 and oracle 8.0 working on NT, make me a reply
    please. I'm trying to do my OCP (developer) at home so all my work is stopped by this.
    Thank

    Are you using Oracle 8.0.3?
    I also could not make it work with Dev6 (I remember it also gives you such a warning before starting installation). I then installed 8.0.5 and Dev6 works flawlessly with this.

  • Content database and share point configuration databases in different sql servers

    HI
    i have a sharepoint 2010 farm and connected to a sql server ,
    here it can be possible to connect all sharepoint configuration databases to one sql server,
    and content database in different sql server ,
    if i do in future can i face any issues?
    adil

    Yes you can. You can specify the SQL server whilst creating the databases and as long as you have configured the required permissions that will be fine. If you really wanted you could have a dedicated SQL instance for each database, although that would be
    very wasteful.
    There are no significant issues, you will have a bit more maintenance to look after two SQL servers but that's about it.

  • Best practice approach for seperating Database and SAP servers

    Hi,
    I am looking for a best practice approach/strategy for setting up a distributed SAP landscape i.e separating the database and sap servers. If anyone has some strategies to share.
    Thanks very much

    I can imagine the most easiest way:
    Install a dialog instance on a new server and make sure it can connect nicely to the database. Then shut down the CI on the database server, copy the profiles (and adapt them) and start your CI on the new server. If that doesn't work at the first time you can always restart the CI on the database server again.

  • Agents for database and application servers

    hi all,
    I have to go to a client site this week to install Gagents onto some database servers, some will be RAC and some application servers. it is on AIX. are there different agents for database and applications? In a RAC cluster do I need an agent per node?
    rgds
    alan

    When installing agents in a cluster (read - RAC), during the installation, on one of the screens, you will have the option of picking up all the nodes in the cluster. Else, if you are using a push or agent deploy method, you just have to pass the correct flag (can't remember) and then list all the nodes in the cluster.
    To your other questions, you do not need different agents for database, and app servers etc. The only time you would need different agents is when you are installing on different platforms.

    Hi philhardinges,
    You can ask Apple support for the replacement receipt, this receipt would have the old iphone information(including Imei) and the replacement iphone information.
    I had a problem like you and they sent me that information, then with the old imei you can unlock your iphone
    Another way to take the old iphone imei, you can look for the original iphone box, yep, the one i hope you saved carefully somewhere in your house hahaha. The imei is showed on the bottom of the box down-right corner.
    Hope this information can help you.
