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.

User want me to update Lotus Notes data through an excel file. One way for me to do this is to import the excel data read through it then do an update. Unfortunately my machine (Windows 10) has no ODBC of Lotus Notes(8.5 ver) therefore I cant connect to the DB and do some update queries. Tried to search in google but I cant find any LN ODBC installer. Does windows 10 still support this ver. of Lotus Notes? Also, is there any other way that I can update the LN Data through imported excel data?
Thanks in advance for your response.
The Notes ODBC driver has always been an extra installer that has to be downloaded from IBM. You need credentials and a passport advantage contract or something similar to be allowed to download the driver. But there are a lot better ways to update Notes Databases from an excel file: use COM or OLE classes to directly write to the database.
I am unable to connect to a kdb+ database in Power BI via the qodbc3 ODBC driver. After selecting Get Data -> Other -> ODBC and selecting a qodbc driver connection that I know works (used without issue by Tableau) I get stuck at the navigator window and there is no option to load a table.
My concern is that kdb driver is not compatible with Power BI which is causing Power BI to not be able to find database tables.
Although this option was not available back when the question was asked, today's solution to this problem would be to use the Simba ODBC Driver:

The primary target for this release is support for:
Tableau (certification compliance included)
PowerBI
Excel
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
I have an Access 97 database that serves as a front-end, via ODBC and linked tables, to a MySQL database, running under Wiin7-64. (Yes, it does work!) The database contains info about places of worship and pilgrimage in the part of France where I live. In addition, I have tens of thousands of photos of the sites in Photoshop Elements 9. The underlying database engine of PSE9 is SQLite, and interesting data about the photos is there (titles, which ones I like, etc.). I would like to link from Access to the tables in the SQLite database as I do to the MySQL database.
My problem: I am unable to create an ODBC connection to the PSE9 SQLite database. I have done multiple searches via Google, read multiple posts at stackoverflow and elsewhere, tried various suggestions, and still no ODBC connection, neither in the 32bit or 64bit ODBC tools of Win7-64. I'm stumped.
So far, I've
downloaded sqliteodbc.exe from http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/ and run it (multiple times)
copied sqlite3odbc.dll, sqlite3.def, sqlite3.dll, and sqlite3.exe to the \windows\system32 folder
entered this command at the Windows command line: "rundll32 c:\windows\system32\sqlite3odbc.dll,install", which produced this error message "Copy c:\windows\system32\sqlite3odbc.dll to c:\windows\system32\sqlite3odbc.dll failed."
When I look at the ODBC and ODBC (32-bit) windows, I don't find a User DSN, System DSN or File DSN for SQLite. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Harvey in balmy Bordeaux
Whats with all that copying dlls around - you don't need to do any of that. Just download the 32 bit version and double click on it - the driver will be installed. Then find the 32 bit ODBC Administrator (note there are 2 on 64 bit windows and only one is 32 bit), fire it up and create a DSN. You should see sqlite3 in the drivers tab.
DSNs are not there automatically, you have to create them yourself. There should be an "Add" button in the ODBC administrator. Then you select the type of driver "SQLite", and then configure the details in the next dialog.
A DSN normally contains all the configuration information needed to connect to a specific database instance so that all this - which may be different from one database system to the other - can be referenced by one name. That is where the name "Data Source Name" comes from.
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
