Teradata sample database - teradata

I have installed vmware player and added the disk file to it. Teradata studio is already installed in it. Now, I want create a database of good size to perform bulk load types in Teradata.
Where can I get the sample database?

I assume that you are asking about the software part to create an instance of Teradata database. If you have VMware downloaded from Teradata for evaluation purpose, it is already installed and configured. You just have to connect with your Studio.
If you are trying to create a virtual environment on your own, then you need to download the Teradata software and install in machine which will create a database. After installing the software you can configure and connect with Studio.

Teradata Express comes with toy data (Samples database) but only up to version 14. From version 15 it is (oddly) removed.

Your VM-Ware is fully configured. Sart your TD-Studio and connect to it.
From VM-Ware's TD-Studio it is TDPID: localhost od 127.0.0.1 User dbc pass dbc

There are no more sample databases in Teradata Express, but I published several data sets on GitHub, see the blog on Teradata Community

Import and explore Oracle .dmp file

I have a .dmp file (export from an Oracle DB) I need to get data from. I have installed Oracle 11g Express Edition successfully, with user SYSTEM and imp command I imported the file, with some warnings though, but now after hours of searching the Internet, I still have no idea how to explore the DB created by that file.
Can explain to me how to do that or at least point me to some relevant documentation, please? This is the first time I use Oracle.
Thanks!
Update: I already tried with Oracle SQL Developer. I use the user SYSTEM that was created automatically when I installed XE

Connecting to BigQuery using ODBC in Qlikview

I have the latest BigQuery ODBC driver installed and setup according to the instruction here
I was able to follow the tutorial and access the data in MS Excel.
However in Qlikview I was unable to see any tables when using the same ODBC connection.
The ODBC driver is functional. What I didn't notice was that I didn't have any dataset created under the BigQuery test project, hence no table was available.
It is still possible to utilize QlikView to access the public data set by adding the query strings in the scripts after the ODBC CONNECT line.

Installing Teradata Database

I was reading about data warehousing and came to know about Teradata. But I didn't found any links on teradata website to download teradata database. Can I install teradata database on my windows or linux machine. Or its like a combination of software and hardware together to be purchased from Teradata
There's no standalone demo install of Teradata available. Go to Teradata's Developer Exchange instead and download a VMWare image of a fully featured TD system with up to 40 GB of available space.

How to connect to a Filemaker Database with ODBC?

I'm trying to find out how to connect to a FileMaker Pro 9 Database file (*.fp7) with ODBC. I followed the manual and installed the ODBC driver which now shows up as "DataDirect 32bit SequeLink 5.5".
However I can't find any instructions on how to connect to the Database File. I want to use LibreOffice Base (and maybe later on create my own app) to access Filemaker tables.
Any help would be appreciated! (Please note that I'm new to Filemaker as well as to ODBC)
You need the ActualTech software to connect to the database: http://www.actualtech.com/scenario_ess_setup.php
I don't know if it is down compatible with FileMaker 9 but you might want to upgrade to FileMaker 13 at this point.
They guys at ActualTech are also very helpful.
Once you installed it, you can set up a DSN in the ODBC manager.

Installing apex in solaris

I neva worked with solaris or Linux before, and would like to find out how i can install oracle application express using command line in solaris, after i have installed my oracle database 11g in solaris aswell.
I already have an idea of how to install the database.
i agree with the comments above, the apex installation guide on the oracle site is easy to follow, basically, you will have to:
execute scripts in the oracle database (first create some tablespaces, then run an sql script that will install the apex module)
deploy a file containing an apex "listener" that you will have to quickly configure, and run a WAR (java) file to run apex
and that's it :)
Installation of Application Express (APEX) is largely Operating System agnostic. The process is based around running a number of scripts. When performing APEX installations, my primary tool is SQL Plus.
Depending on the version\edition of the Oracle Database you install, you probably already have a version of APEX ready to use. You can check which version of APEX your database has by running the following sql statement:
select version_no from apex_release
More information about installing Apex can be found in the documentation.
the documentation on the oracle website is well done.
i installed apex on Solaris 10 and it works fine
basically, you just need to execute a few SQL scripts (create some users, import data), and afterwards run a java program to start the apex listener
check the documentation, it should be understandable even without too much of Solaris knowledge
