Dreamweaver and Database management

Now that I am an expert on static web pages, I am starting to learn how to create dynamic web pages.
I have created the XAMPP environment on my PC and my localhost (with PHP and SQL servers) is running well.
What I need to do is to create a new database for my site. I know that Dreamweaver has special panels for Database related stuff,
but I am not able to find how I can define my record layout and create the database. I found a related tutorial on Dreamweaver on dynamic pages, but the tutorial imports its database, it does not create a new one, (Also if anyone knows of related tutorials it would be very helpful).
Thanks!

Hi
The first thing you need to do is create your database - To do this is log into your phpMyAdmin site through your browser, (how-to is described in your XAMPP documentation), and from there create your new database, giving it the name required from the tutorial (oddly enough you do this where it says create new database).
As this is your first dynamic site from this point on, I would recommend importing the database tables from the tutorial and following that.
Once you have more experience you could try creating your own database and tables etc. an excellent program for helping with this is the, 'MySQL Workbench',
available from the MySQL website where you will also find a few tutorials on its use.
Hope this helps.

Error updating Dreamweaver and Extension Manager CS6 (Creative Cloud)

Hello,
I'm having troubles updating Dreamweaver and Extension Manager CS6 (Creative Cloud) on Macbook Pro with OS version 10.8.2. I get this error codes for both updates U44M1P7.

In this log file I can see you are getting Error : U44M1P7 while updating the software
This Error comes where language packs for software are not installed properly on the machine.
I would suggest to update Adobe Application manager from
Windows : http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773
MAC: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4774
then try to install the update if still you are not able to update software and getting same error then uninstall all the Adobe software selecting remove prefernces.
After uninstalling the software run the Adobe Cleaner tool(http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and remove the leftovers.

Dreamweaver and Database Integration - XML. Windows 7

Hi
Looking to see where the bounds of where Dreamweaver can assist me.
I am looking to use Dreamweaver to develop a site that will need to manage the import of an xml feed from an external site to a database and then split some of the data to xslt for display and some of the other to R studio to calculate and create statistical analysis to be brought back to the website for display as calculate and graphical.
Can Dreamweaver help much with handling data and queries or is there another adobe program that will assist with that as well?
Most of the sites I create will be data intensive and while I can code websites I was looking to speed that section up to allow more time for data analysis.
Sayth

When you say Windows 7, do you mean Windows Server 2008 R2? Or are you talking about your development computer OS?
Dreamweaver is essentially an HTML editor that has website management features. The project you describe requires back-end programming with a language like PHP, RUBY or ASP.NET.
You don't mention which kind of server you are working with (Microsoft or LINUX) or what programming language you intend to work with.
You can write PHP, javascript and ASP code in the Dreamweaver code editor, and DW will do some pretty good syntax checking, but DW is not a real IDE (integrated development environment) for any language except HTML. Also, although you can edit XML in Dreamweaver, there are other environments that work with XML better.
So the short answer to your question is: yes, Dreamweaver could probably be used as your only (or primary) environment for building such a website, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's the best choice. But since you have not given us info about your server environment and programming language of choice, this is about all we can say.

Dreamweaver and Database manegement

I have created a new site, and I want to create a new SQL database for my site.
I know Dreamweavr has special panels for database related stuff. What exactly do I need to do
in Dreamweaver to define my database record layout and create the database.
Note that I have the XAMPP environment set up on my computer, and my local host (with the PHP and SQL servers) is running fine,
There is a related tutorial in Dreamweaver, but the tutorial imports the database it uses, it does not define or create it.
I need to create a new database. Thanks for the help!

Please repost this request on the Dreamweaver Application Development Forum - it's much more suited to these kinds of questions!
http://forums.adobe.com/community/dreamweaver/dreamweaver_development
I will say, however, that DW is not a database creation or management app. For that you would need something like Navicat or PHPMyAdmin.

Dreamweaver and Databases

Do I have to create a database-driven site if I only want one of the pages in my site to be connected to a database for collecting user input?
I've been through the DWCS3 classes through NHLC here in MI, and they only covered the scenario of a database driven site.
My site has been up and running for over a year, and this is a "nice feature" request that my boss would like to see added now.
Will it make a difference if it is only a company intranet site, and not a site on the www?
I'm using a MSAccess 2003 database to interface with my DWCS3.
If this issue has already been addressed somewhere else, please direct me. I've done a search through the forums, and did not see anything.
Thank you in advance for educating me.

Do I have to create a database-driven site if I only want one of the pages in my site to be connected to a database for collecting user input?
You want to collect information from visitors and save that information into a database? That's not exactly what I would call a data-driven site, but it does require that you understand a) server scripting, and b) how to build/maintain a database.
Will it make a difference if it is only a company intranet site, and not a site on the www?

No.

Uninstalling Dreamweaver and Flash MX 2004!

hello guys!
i want to insntall studio 8 but before i do that i want to
remove studio mx 2004 (flash, dreamweaver and extension manager)
for Mac OSX, but there are NO information on this site! and i tried
googling but found nothing!
i could just trash the apps and the pref files, but there are
many other files that are stored in my computer, plus there is a
extensions manager that i don't know how do remove..
i remember there was a link on the old macromedia support
page on this subject but now all they have is information on
removing studio 8! thats discrimination against old versions!
please help me!
thanks!

> i want to insntall studio 8 but before i do that i want

I would install Studio 8 first. It'll install into its own
separate folder
and won't affect MX 2004.
Ensure that your preferences, extensions and site definitions
get migrated
correctly and that everything's running in 8 as expected.
Then think about uninstalling MX 2004.

SQL Studio and DB Manager GUI - wrong installers

There is a bug in these downloads.
Under DB_Manager_GUI_7_6_Windows_x86_32_bit.exe is installer of SQL Studio, and under SAP_MaxDB_SQL_Studio_7_6_Windows_x86_32_bit.exe is installer of DB Manager GUI respectively.
Please switch/rename these files. Chris

Hello,
1)
Please review the document at
http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/default.htm -> Glossary -> Database Manager
"SAP MaxDB Database Manager is a database tool for creating and managing databases, database users, and Database Manager operators."
You could run the SAP MaxDB Database Manager without passwords, but you need the user/pwd information to connect to the database.
2)
You could check the default database user's , DBM Operator passwords in MaxDB Library:
http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/default.htm -> Glossary -> DBM Operator
http://maxdb.sap.com/doc/7_7/default.htm -> Glossary -> Database System Administrator
-> Changing Passwords of Standard Users
3)
If you have further questions/problems to connect to your database using Database Manager, please create the new thread. Please post also additional information :
What is the version of the database instance?
What SAP MaxDB Database Manager tool you are using < dbmcli ? Database Studio? DBMGUI? > ?
What version?

How can I determine what sites are being referenced within Central Admin Upgrade and Migration Manage Databases Upgrade Status?

When I go to Central Admin > Upgrade and Migration > Manage Databases Upgrade Status, I have 2 content databases which have the status:
Database is up to date, but some sites are not completely upgraded.
How can I determine which sites are not completely upgraded?

Manage Databases Upgrade Status will provide you all active and offline DB details, you can get same result
using below PowerShell cmdlet.
Get-SPDatabase and Get-SPContentDatabase will provide all active database/Content DB in Farm which include Service application db, central admin DB.
Get-SPDatabase | Format-Table Name, ID
Coming back to your question, if you find that there are some site are not completely upgraded then run below command and understand the cause if issue on specific DB.
Test-SPContentDatabase WSS_ContentDB_Name
If you find any missing file issue in DB then resolve these issue to upgrade content database.
(verify all customizations referenced within the content database are also installed in the web application. This cmdlet can be issued
against a content database currently attached to the farm, or a content database that is not connected to the farm )
Use the Upgrade-SPContentDatabase cmdlet
to resume a failed database upgrade or begin a build-to-build database upgrade against a SharePoint content database
Upgrade-SPContentDatabase WSS_Content

BOXI R2 Auditing and Performance Management Recommended Database Sizes

Hi,
We have a 8 node BOXI R2 Cluster which we want to enable Auditing and Performance Management. Could anyone recommend what the sizes of these two databases should be in GB? I have to request appropriate disk space from our SAN team, and the databases created with fixed sizes. Also, the databases will be Oracle DBs, if that is relevant.
Thanks!

The amount of space required for Audit DB will be determined by amount of auditing you're goinf to record. Auditing DB will grow quite significantly in a 8 node environment.
I'd start with 1gb and add space as necessary.
With PM DB - it's impossible to say how big it needs to be. It depends on amount of data you're going to put in there.

Oracle Database management and monitoring tools

hello everyone.
Could anyone offer any advice on Oracle database management tools ?
looking for a 3rd party tool that would provide graphical representation on health and activity within Oracle databases.
Any recommendations , or advice on what to avoid?
Many thanks

Thanks , have enterprise manager already.
Really looking for tool that will email , sms alerts
out as they happen.
Ability to set threshold alerts.
report creation of threshold data.
that kind of thing etc.Since you want to pay extra for this capability, look at the Diagnostics Pack add-on for Enterprise Manager. It does what you ask. And makes it available both on Database Control and Grid Control view.
And both Database Control and Grid Control are included in your SE/EE license.

Dreamweaver CS4, OS X 10.6, and Extension Manager 2.1.115

...they absolutely hate each other.
None...NONE...of my extensions work now. I can 'install' them with EM but the moment DW is started they not only show up, but when I returned to EM, they are (if EM was closed) no longer open, or (if EM was still open), there but not showing up in DW. I'm told (obviously) that I must restart DW. I do this, but still nothing; the extension(s) are not appearing anywhere.
If tried everything I can think of having searched multiple threads all over the place.
It seems to be an issue between OS X 10.6 and Extension Manager.
Anyone experiencing the same? Anyone find a solution??

Well you probably don't want to hear this, but until a lot of these bugs and incompatibilities get worked out it would be best to go back to what worked first, your old system. If its a production machine I would not upgrade until at least 3 or 4 updates had been released. If you just want to test use your second activation on a second drive and have the new OS loaded seeing how everything works until you are confident that you can install the new OS on your production machine.

MySQL has nothing to do with Dreamweaver or any other development software. It's a DBMS (which stands for DataBase Management System). More simply, it's a way to store data. Other DBMS are PostgreSQL, Oracle, and so on..., as mentionned above.
To use your existing MySQL database with FlashBuilder for PHP, simply specify where you store your PHP services on your computer when you create your project. Then FB will attempt to connect to MySQL with the help of your PHP code.
And you'll be able to retrieve your data in the brand new Spark Datagrids !
Hope it'll help.

Database Manager for Address Book

Help me! I seem to need to reconstruct my Address Book every time I change my PDA. the card formats are never quite the same....
To date, I have been exporting to text files, cleaning the text tile with MS Word, opening the text file in Excel - doing my clean up and reorganization in Excel - saving as a text file, then importing the text file back into Address Book.
Eh - and every time I do this, SOMEthing get screwed up. This time, I lost all the fax numbers!
Question: Is there a database manager that will open the AddressBook.Data file in native format, allow me to make global changes or individual edits and resave the native format - without needing to do all of the exporting and importing and data corruption?
Thanks for any feedback or comment!

maybe this solves your problem.
What PDA are you using?

The Ultimate Guide to Resolving Profile and Device Manager Issues

The following article also applies to issues after re-setting the severs' hostname. It also applies to situations where re-setting the Code Signing Certifictateas described by Apple has not resolved the issue.
Hello,
I have been plagued with Profile Manager and Device Manager issues since day one.
I would like to share my experience and to suggest a way how to resolve issues such as device cannot be enrolled or Code Signing Certificate not accepted.
I shall try to be as brief as possible, just giving an overview of the steps that resolved my issues. The individual steps have been described elsewhere in this forum. For users who have purchased commercial SSL certs the following may not apply.
In my view many of these issues are caused by missing or faulty certificates. So let us first touch on the very complex matter of certificates.
Certificates come in many flavours such as CA (Certificate Authority), Code Signing Certificate, S/MIME and Server Identification.
(Mountain?) Lion Server creates a so-called Intermediate CA certificate (IntermediateCA_hostname_1") and Server Identification Certificate ("hostname") when it installs first. This is critical for the operation of many server functionalities, including Open Direcory. These certs together with the private/public keys can be found in your Keychain. Profile and Device Manager may need a Code Signing Certificate.
The most straightforward way to resolve the Profile Manaher issues is in my view to reset the server created certicates.
The bad news is that this procedure involves quite a few steps and at least 2 hours of your precious time because it means creating a fresh Direcory Master.
I hope that I have not forgotten to mention an important step. Readers' comments and addenda are welcome.
I shall outline a sensible strategy:
1. Clone your dysfunctional server to an external harddrive (SuperDuper does a reliable job)
2. Start the server fom the clone and shut down ALL services.
3. It may be sensible to set up a root user access.
4. Back-up all user data such as addess book, calendar and other data that you *may* need to set up your server.
5. Open Workgroup Manager and export all user and workgroup accounts to the drive that you using to re-build your server (it may cause problems if you back-up to an external drive).
6. Just in case you may also want to back-up the Profile Manager database and erase user profiles:
In Terminal (this applies to Lion Server - paths may be diferent in Mountain Lion !)
Backup: sudo pg_dump -U _postgres -c device_management > $HOME/device_management.sql
Erase database:
sudo /usr/share/devicemgr/backend/wipeDB.sh
7. Note your Directory (diradmin) password for later if you want to re-use it.
8. Open Open Server Admin and demote OD Master to Standalone Directory.
9. In Terminal delete the old Certificate Authority
sudo rm -R /var/root/Library/Application\ Support/Certificate\ Authority/
This step is crucial because else re-building you OD Master will fail.
9. Go back to Server Admin and promote the Standalone Directory to OD Master. You may want to use the same hostname.
10. When the OD Master is ready click on Overview and check that the LDAP and Keberos Realm reflect your server's hostname.
11. Go back to Workgroup Manager and re-import users and groups.
NOTE: passwords are not being exported. I do not know how to salvage user passwords. (Maybe passwords can be recovered by re-mporting an OD archive - comments welcome! ).
12. Go to Server App and reset passwords and (not to forget) user homefolder locations, in particular if you want to login from a network account!
If the home directory has not been defined you cannot login from a network account.
13. You may now want to restore Profile Manager user profiles in Terminal. Issue the following commands:
sudo serveradmin stop devicemgr
sudo serveradmin start postgres
sudo psql -U _postgres -d device_management -f $HOME/device_management.sql
sudo serveradmin start devicemgr
14. You can now switch back on your services, including Profile Manager.
In Profile Manager you may have to configure Device Management. This creates a correct Code Signng Certicate.
15. Check the certificate settings in Server App -> Hadware -> Settings-> SSL Certificates.
16. Check that Apple Push Notifications are set.(you easily check if they are working later)
17. You may want to re-boot OS Server from the clone now.
18. After re-boot open Server App and check that your server is running well.
19. Delete all profiles in System Preferences -> Profiles.
19. Login to Profile Manager. You should have all users and profiles back. In my experience devices have to be re-enrolled before profiles can be pushed and/or devices be enrolled. You may just as well delete the displayed devices now.
20. Grab one of your (portable) Macs that you want to enrol and go to (yourhostname)/mydevices and install the server's trust profile. The profile's name should read "Trust Profile for...) and underneath in green font "Verified".
21. Re-enrol that device. At this stage keep your finger's crossed and take a deep breath.
22. If the device has been successfully enrolled you may at last want to test if pushing profiles really works. Login to Profile Manager as admin, select the newly enrolled device. Check that Automatic Push is enabled (-> Profile -> General). Create a harmless management profile such as defining the dock's position on the target machine. (Do not forget to click SAVE at the end - this is easily missed here). If all is well Profile Manager will display an active task (sending) and the dock's position on the target will have changed in a few seconds if you are on a LAN (Note: If sending seems to take forever: check on the server machine and/or on your router that the proper ports are open and that incoming data is not intercepted by Little Snitch or similar software).
Note: if you intend to enrol an Apple iPhone you may first need to install the proper Apple Configuration software.
Now enjoy Profile and Device Manager !
