Quiz making database program?

I will be graduating from college soon and I still do not have a firm grip on my foreign language. I need a computer program that will help me study and keep my limited skills sharp and improving. I would like the program to allow me to give it a bank of foreign words and then a group of possible meanings for the words, from which it will create a slide that has one foreign word and four possible choices. After I choose my answer, it will tell me if I am right or not and give me a new word, keeping track of how many times I have got a word right or wrong. Essentially, I am looking for what every program FreeRice.com uses to make their tests.
I was originally thinking of using Microsoft Access to "create" my own program, but I don't think Access can run on a Mac and last time I used it, Access was kinda ... well ... mean. I have found several programs for my PC, but NONE of them have good reviews and the language is Hebrew. Windows does not support a right to left written language, but Macs do ... somewhat.
If anyone can think of a program to help me, I would be very appreciative.

I tried iFlash (available through Mac Apple Store) which costs $15 to make an "almost infinite" deck of cards that can have 3 sides and can add sound to the cards. Also can take any font that Macs support through the internaltional virtual keyboards. It can show the cards in random order or the order defined in the deck, or can show side 1 or side 2 for display. You can save your "decks" and load new ones with different particuar purposes at will.
But my studies of foreign langauge shifted to real people and estblished defined courses for reasons that are *not* the card deck program being bad. Just that "flash cards" for me cannot substitute for real poeple or books that present the information in a larger context.
Be aware if you do not like iFlash characteristics, you have bought it (terms of the Mac Apple Store).

What the Enviroment required for java databases programs?

Hi guys
What the enviroment required for java databases programs?
If I have oracle of version 9i and java 1.4.1 platform
do I need Jdeveloper platform ?

What the enviroment required for java databases programs?What do you mean by "environment"?
f I have oracle of version 9i and java 1.4.1 platformYou just need to download Oracle's 9i JDBC driver (ojdbc14.jar) and put that in your CLASSPATH. Then write JDBC code to connect to Oracle and issue SQL commands.
do I need Jdeveloper platform ?No, JDeveloper is an IDE. Not required.
Why Java 1.4.1? We're up to Java 6 now. You're two major versions of the JDK behind.

What database program will convert my Appleworks DB for use on Intel platform?

What database program will convert my Appleworks DB for use on Intel platform?

Yes, you just need the appleworks folder from applications.
However, whether or not this is strictly legal is another question entirely, I'm afraid, unless you are planning to remove appleworks from your computer. You could just buy her her own copy of Appleworks, too.

Database programs

Hey everyone
I'm trying to find the best database program that will work on a mac, pc and a pda, any ideas?
Thanks
Bevan

I don't think there's anything that meets that spec. You may find one that works on Windows and a PDA, but I don't believe there's any that works on the Mac and a PDA - at least not the same product.
There could be some specialty products. For example the Splash series for the Palm PDA. They have SplashShopper which works on the PDA and also has a master app for the Mac. I believe they also have a PC version. However, I don't know if this is what you have in mind.
Versiontracker.com has a Palm OS section you can search.

Need a Database Program

I am looking for a database program like MS Access. I see that even the Office 2008 for Mac does not over Access. What else is out there? I would really like to have some compatibility to go between platforms, but will take what I can get.
Thanks in advance,

The FileMaker people have also now released a lighter weight DB program called Bento. If you need Access then you can use the database component of NeoOffice Aqua which is quite similar to Access. NeoOffice is a native implementation of Sun's Star Office and is much like Microsoft's Office for Windows (pre-2007.) NeoOffice is Open Source and free.
Another "free" relational database is MySQL or PostgreSQL. Both are available in free and commercial versions depending upon extensions. Both are originally Open Source. You will find them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
And, there's Panorama which has been around on the Mac for many years. It's a commercial product. I do not believe they've yet come out with a universal binary version.
And, last is Valentina also a commercial product.

How can I set up a database program for inputing baseball team statistics that is compatible with numbers?

I have been asked to be a statistician bar and athletic team. We are playing Dartball, a game of darts that is based on baseball. The previous status station used Apple works which included a database manager that was compatible with numbers. I have checked with the Apple geniuses online for my MacBook Pro and they did not have an answer to my problem. Is there a program that can be used on my MacBook Pro that will keep up with statistics for eight baseball team?

Im all for the dumb questions, because its probably a dumb mistake I did.
I have checked that both sus ped and exp. ped are fully plugged in.
Neither pedals show up in the Midi meter in the transport.
I dont know how to set a patch for the keyboard, but if both pedals work in other programs (i.e. Reason), wouldn't it not be an issue with a Logic configuration and not in the keyboard's setting? (Unless I have a separate Logic setting that loads automatically when it detects Logic is booted. I dont know how that would work though.)
Thank you for your prompt help, though. Any other ideas?

Having problem making my program play the sound i want it to play...

Ok, im new at this so bare with me (and my spelling)...
i've been trying to make my program play a musicfile during the actual program... and trust me, i've tried so many times...
after the last try i get the errormessage "cannot find symbol" for 2 things...

am I making any sense?! =) what have i done wrong?

ok, thank you,
i tried it with the catchphrase and the program worked just as it did when I threw the exception...

               sound.play();
               catch (MalformedURLException j)
               j.printStackTrace();
I changed the "e" to a "j" in the "catch (MalformedURLException j)" since I was using the e in one of my strings...
Was it supposed to work or did I do wrong? =/

Postgresql database programming... little help? [SOLVED]

For an exam I need to program a forum using using Postgresql as database system.
I made all the tables using the database's superuser, now I'd like to make the application who uses them.
But I am not sure how keep security policy.
If not moderator or administrator a user can only edit its messages, if I give the to application role the right of UPDATE the message table any user (skipping the application, but login as it) will be able of edit messages of everyone.
My original idea was implementing all the interface using sql or psplsql functions that made all needed checks and grant to the application role the right of EXECUTE them.
But I see that you can execute the function, but it can not do its work if the role does not have the right about INSERT or UPDATE the tables. But on the other hand I can't just say the application can do everything or anyone can mess up the forum...
I need help solving this problem... Thanks
Last edited by ezzetabi (2007-08-28 14:10:44)

Well, I didn't ever use Postgresql, but I use MySQL from time to time, though I am not really experienced.
Anyway, I think what you want to do, namely solving permission rights for an application on sql server level, is impossible and you have to perform the necessary steps on application level.
If I understand correctly, you want three types of users: Administrators, Moderators and Users. This is a pretty simple setup and as long as you don't want to add other, customized defined groups, you can realize it very easily (though I think you will get help if you want a more advanced variant).
First you have to save the permission of each user everywhere. This can be done in several ways:
* You can add a additional column to your users table which holds the granted permission
* You maintain an independent table which holds the permission defined at least as: user_id permission [...].
* You create two tables, namely moderators and administrators, add the users you need there, and origin in everyone else being user.
I'd recommend the first or the second variant, depending on how you've structured your database so far and how customizable you want to have your application.
Then you can easily query the user's permission on each action (e.g. editing a post) and check (slightly simplified) weather the user is an administrator, or moderator of the section the post is in or is the user who has written the post itself. Then you permit the action, otherwise you return an error.
I hope this helps to get a picture of how this is often be accomplished (at least by the board's I've stumbled over and how I accomplish permission levels in my scripts).

Looking for a good database program

I have used Filemaker Pro in the past and have really liked using that program. Is there something out there but maybe a bit less pricey?

I have a friend who is a pastor in Virginia and he is trying to develop a searchable database where he can store (and easily access) the range of quotations and passages that he has (and will continue to accumulate over a life time) on a range of subjects for use in sermons, articles etc. To date he has been typing the quotation/passage into a Word document on the relevant subject area, often having to input on multiple Word documents if the subject matter requires. Searching the system requires too many levels of folder, sub folder, sub-sub folder steps. Searchlight is good, but not the full answer.
Can someone recommend a strategy for this kind of database where entries are lengthy (as opposed to contact databases?)
