Looking for a database
Can anyone point me to a good free cross platform database for use in a desktop app? My needs are minimal (storage only, no procedures or triggers). I'd like to keep my footprint as low as possible on the target machines. If it has a GUI for development, that'd be great, but command line works too.
Thanks!
That looks perfect!
I googled at first, and found a site with an alphabetical list of about 30 different database options. I got about 4 into it before deciding I should ask the experts. :)
Thanks a lot!

Looking for a database collection app for children
Hi,
I am a primary school teacher and I am looking for a interesting way for my children to learn about databases and spreadsheets this term using the Ipads. I have looked at using Numbers but I am looking for an app that is child friendly and looks at them creating their own fields and collect their own data. Ideally want them to also use the camera to collect data and do majority of this on the ipad rather than sync it from a pc. Anyone kow any good apps for this?That looks perfect!

Looking for a database application with report-writing capabilities for my iMac.
Does anyone know of an iMac-compatible database application (small business type) with report-writing capabilities?
That's easy, you are looking for FileMaker Pro. You can find it at:

I am looking for a book database app to keep track of my physical books. I have used a Windows based application called BookBag plus but it looks like there won't be an iPhone version. I'm looking for an app that offers barcode scanning and a database that will work on my iPhone, iPad and PC (via the web) at the same time. I've looked at iBookshelf and Book Crawler and they seem OK but they don't seem to work on multiple devices. From what I can tell I will be able to transfer my existing database via a CSV file.
Any recommendations will be appreciated.
Thanks,

I am looking for a large enterprise teaching database for a group of students taking DBA courses at a private IT education institute I work for.
The database has to have sufficient number of tables, indexes, and other objects as well as data volume so as to represent as close as possible to a real world enterprise database.
Data volume is important. We want to be able to introduce these students to the reality of large enterprise data volumes and the impact of high volume queries, by concurrent users, on database performance.
Bottom line here is that we need a database that will force the student to deal with administration, tuning, backup, etc in a realistic manner.
Does anybody have such a database that we can use or know of a location that teaching databases and data can be downloaded.
Our intention is to not provide them the database but to create a set of specs form the database we get and have studetns model and desing their own versions of it. They will then import the data we provide.
Thank you for any and all assistance you can provide.That looks perfect!

Looking for customer database template
A buddy of mine just got an ipad and since I have an ipad as well he wants me to create a simple customer list for his small business, since he does everything with pencil and paper. There is a template called Checklist and when you click on new form this paperclip looking page comes up that would be really nice to start out with but how to you create that folder with paperclip? Also it will be like the rolldex style where it would file by last name and just have name, phone number, email and history. Really simple and can search by last name
Any templates that would fit what I'm looking for?you can use every Excel / Numbers format document as a "template". Search on the web, e.g. Microsoft alone has thousands of ready made solutions on their office web portal. Everything you find on the web will open in numbers.app if you click on a xls,xlsx or .number file.
If you look for pretty solutions that are especially made for the iOS versions, look in the app store - these of course be no "templates" ( you can't add or remove the ones that came with numbers.app ) , but are apps that include pre-made spreadsheats that will then open inside your numbers.app . Most of these "apps" cost money, though. I would follow the web ressources. You can always customize spreadsheats or start with the blank one and thus create your own "template" ( again : these will never appaer in the template-chooser, but will be treated as a unique file. ). -
For years I have relied upon Appleworks for my simple database issues but have not hit a snag. The nature of the data I am now storing requires large numbers of characters to be stored in a single field. Appleworks has a character limit of approx 500. This is next to useless for me.
Does anyone know either a way around this, the text is either sections of an interview or comments (which can be in excess of 100 words), or of a simple, intuitive alternative that also has the easy switch between the card and list view.
Any help and all suggestions are very welcome.
mac mini 1.42 & imac g5 20" Mac OS X (10.4.7)Hello
Before studying an other tool, it may be time to learn that since its first delivery in year 2000, the text field's limit is not 500 characters (as written in the specs) but 1000 characters.
If this is not sufficient, it is time to look at an other application:
FileMaker 8.5
4th Dimension
openOffice 2.x
neoOffice 2.x
I know that the late two are FREE but I don't know if there is a way to store pictures with them.

RE: Looking for some database statistics and wait event statistics
Hi:
We are using Oracle 10g RAC on Sun Solaris 5.9.
1) In GV$SYSSTAT, we cannot find the following database statistics:
'global cache converts',
'global cache convert time',
'global cache gets',
'global cache get time',
'global cache convert timeouts',
'global cache defers'
2) In GV$SYSTEM_EVENT, we cannot find the following wait event:
'buffer busy global CR'
For 1) and 2), could you please tell us where to retrieve the above information,
or suggest a reasonable alternative?
Have these stats been removed in Oracle 10g?
Have they been renamed? To what?
3) We currently compute the number of additional redo logs that can be accommodated in the free space of the archive directory using the formula:
(arhive directory free space / redo log file size)
However, using ASM we find that the free space for a ASM diskgroup is being reported as zero in the table v$asm_diskgroup if the diskgroup is mounted manually. How would one go about retrieving the free space for a logical volume?

Netweaver CE 7.1 install looking for a database
During the database portion of a Netweaver CE 71 Distributed system
install we get the following error.
u201COracle software not installed. Install Oracle software before
continuingu201D
It is true we initially did not have a database client installed
because the u201CSAP NetWeaver
Composition Environment 7.1 SR5 on Windows: Oracleu201D guide stated the
following
As of Oracle 10g there is no need to manually install the Oracle client
software on the application
server, as SAPinst automatically installs the client software in the
DIR_CT_RUN directory.
After getting theu201D Oracle software not installedu201D message we installed
an oracle client but are still getting the same error.
Any assistance you can provide would be most appreciatedThank you for the reply.
I think you pointed us back in the right direction. We were interpreting the error as SAP needing a client but in reality the SAP install was not able to connect to the Oracle server running on a different server in a different domain.
We are now try to address the cross domain problems. -
Looking for a flat file database
Hi,
I am looking for a 'database' for my Java-Project. My requirements are: no ODBC, no DB-Server, all Windows Systems.
I think my only option is a flat file based system. So my Question:
Which database do you know, or do you advice an other solution for my problem.
Thanks for your answersWhy don't you go to the two sites above and look through their documentation?
Edit: And why did you resurrect a four year dead thread for this? -

How to look for a certain value in a database using sql
Hello everyone. How do you do this in SQL? Or, is there a way to look for a certain value in a database? What I'm trying to do is this:
I want to look for the exact value "abcdefg" in the database so that oracle will return me details on the following that contains the said value:
1. the name of the table(s)
2. the column/field name(s)
Note: "abcdefg" could exist in different tables with different column names with different data types.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
UPDATE: What about if I just want to check those fields/columns with string data types?

Looking for A Powerful Database App
Hello!
I know this is not the best place to ask this question but I didn't have the choice. I am looking for a good database software to make databases for a bit everything: books, CDs, players list in video games, etc.
I have been using FileMakerPro for a long time and this program is great but I grew tired of the interface....even if you can do anything with it I don't like it.
So I looked on the web, I tried iList Data but it is not complete enough for me. And I just heard about AppleWorks. Someone said on a forum that it is better than iList Data.
Is AppleWorks what I could be looking for regarding what I want to do with a database? I want something complete but more userfriendly than FMP.
Thanks a lot!
Vinny.Hi Vinny,
As much as I love AppleWorks and use its DB module, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone as a 'new' purchase for one simple reason.
Apple last updated AppleWorks in 2004, noted they were building the successor to AppleWorks in 2005, and declared AppleWorks EOL with the introduction of Numbers in iWork '08.
EOL doesn't mean that the application no longer works, just that Apple no longer sells, develops or supports it.
For someone familiar with the existing version and used to its quirks and foibles, that's not a major problem. For someone coming to AppleWorks cold, it could be.
FMPro is a relational database application, and capable of far more than AppleWorks (a flat file DB). The appearance of the interfaces is similar, as both were designed at Claris, now FileMaker.
OpenOffice.org and NeoOffice (based on OpenOffice.org) both have database capabilities. You may find their learning curves a bit steeper than FMPro's.
Database Options For The Macintosh offers further information on desktop and server DB applications for Mac.

Looking for a simple database.
I am looking for a very simple data base program to organize email addresses for mailings that we do for our business. I was using numbers but with the recent upgrade it does not seem like the best option. A free program would be my preference. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
The free sqlite3 database comes with OS X Mavericks and earlier OS X releases. The default interface is the Terminal, as shown in the following. It assumes you know the Structured Query Language (SQL).
/usr/bin/sqlite3 mydatabase.db
sqlite> .help
<sqlite>.quit
man sqlite3
You might consider a proper visual interface that sits on top of sqlite3 from Apple's App Store. Base is an example of one tool. There are others. These are much easier to tolerate for some than the command line interface in Terminal. -
Looking for a value in a list stored in a database table field
Hello,
I have a field in a database table that contains a comma
separated list on numbers. In my CFQUERY I am attempting to extract
records from the database table where a parsed number is present in
the comma separated list. I have tried the code below, but it is
throwing an error.
variables.publicationID is the number that I am looking for
in the database table field.
publicationList is the name of the database table field
containing the comma separated list of numbers.
where <cfqueryparam value="#variables.publicationID#"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer"> in publicationList
Can anybody help?
Many thanks,
smnbinThe only way to do it with the data model you currently have
is as follows:
WHERE publicationList LIKE '#variables.publicationID#' OR
publicationList LIKE '#variables.publicationID#,%' OR
publicationList LIKE '%,#variables.publicationID#,%' OR
publicationList LIKE '%,#variables.publicationID#'
You need to check for 4 cases:
it's the only ID in the list
it's the first ID in the list
it's in the middle of the list
it's the last ID in the list.
The better solution would be to replace this comma-delimited
list with a mapping table, where each row in this mapping table
contains a reference to the main table as well as a single
publicationID.
Maybe you are looking for
