I need to load into sqlserver all of my locally stored email messages. Currently those are thunderbird-based but if i need some sort of export-to-outlook utility, fine, just say the word. I could probably adapt some asp.net (c#) code to access the local messages but doing the google against:
export emails from thunderbird to sql server
import to sqlserver from outlook
and a vast variation there of, is not getting me any closer to either a utility or someone's codeplex project.
it's probably trivial local file access stuff, so it's probably been done a few thousand times and has to have been presented as utility code a few hundred...but how do i find it?
thx
A solution is to setup a virtual machine or a server running linux (debian) or FreeBSD (my favorite). To install postgreSQL and DBmail and to connect through IMAP to DBmail.
With dbmail it is possible to store all email into SQL.

I have developed an application win QT which uses SQLIte database. The copy of database is located on each site.
On one site let's say site 'BOB1' it works perfectly without any problem. But when we try to use it on another site lets say 'BOB2' it takes long time to open a database connection(approx 2000 milliseconds).
I thought that perhaps there is a network problem, So they tried to use the server of the site 'BOB1' as their server, which works fine. But when i tried to use the server of the site 'BOB2' from the site 'BOB1', I have the same problem. So i thought it may not be the network issue.
Another thing that came to my mind was that, perhaps there is a problem of DNS resolution. But when i tried to ping the server using IP and hostname, the response time is the same.
Any idea or pointer that what can be the problem.
PS: Server + database file path is specified in the setDatabasePath() fuinction using enviornment variables.
Consider copying the database to the local machine (eg temp folder if transient, or other suitable location if permanent). You can safely use either file copy, or consider using the qt backup API to ensure that the transfer happens successfully (plus you get the option of progress feedback)
https://sqlite.org/backup.html
You could even "backup" the file from the remote server to in-memory if the file is small and you say you're reading only?
You can see some sample code here on how to import an sqlite DB into a Qt QSqlDatabase. Note that when you do this, you want to make sure the version of sqlite native API that you're using is the same as that compiled into Qt, or you may get error messages from sqlite or Qt.
I need to migrate a customer's site which happens to be hosted in a remote Win32 environment with Sitebuilder, Plesk, SQL Server and ASP or ASP.Net, I'm not sure.
I'm used to LAMP environments, so I don't know what to do with all the files in this server. Sitebuilder and SQL Server are also new to me.
I only have access to the FTP files and to the Plesk panel control, but it doesn't even acknowledge the existence of any SQL Server database (as it usually does with MySQL databases).
So far I've only been able to think of these two options:
Code an ASP script that writes down the database content into CSV files (wouldn't know where to start).
Code a script that retrieves the data directly from the HTML pages (long, painful, error prone and not useful to access data available only to logged in users).
So my question is: from your experience, knowledge of this platform, and point of view, which would be my best option?
Thank you very much in advance in my first question here. Regards,
UPDATE: I've managed to access the server (Windows 2008 server + SQL server 2008) using remote desktop. I guess I should be able to export the database now. I'll check Management Studio to see if it can help in the process.
It sounds odd that it doesn't support remote connections, but if you want to do it from within your asp-pages, the following links might be good starting points:

I have developed a web based application in ASP.NET and C# where users have the facility to upload files on the server through this application I want the application to Scan the uploaded files for viruses before saving on the server. Same like when we attach files with our email in Yahoo. Please guide me how I can achieve this functionality Any API which can be integrated in ASP.NET application or any other way you can suggest. We can purchase the licensed version of a product which can achieve this. I have googled but did not find specific results.
Thanks in advance!
First of all the file must be saved onto the server before you can scan it. If you notice Yahoo will upload the file first - but not allow the attachment to be sent until scanned.
Then you can use an antivirus with a command line interface or some other kind of API. Both of these can be called via C# and should provide the functionality you require. Parhaps write a wrapper class that takes a file and returns true or false depending on whether a virus was detected.
Other applications that provide you with a command line interface:
Microsoft Security Essentials
clamAv
I believe MS AV provides better results.
Just purchase antivirus software that has a command-line interface (several popular packages include this). Once the file has been uploaded, run the scan.
I would think, in order to upload and scan at the same time, you might need to implement your own antivirus software as I'm not familiar with any package that would provide that sort of interface.
I run a shareware site. It doesn't work as you described, but I download each file to my local computer and run a scan on them. You would be doing something similar.
What I want is a Powerbuilder application that runs on Windows that runs from a CD (or some other external disk) that can read from an ASA database whose file is located on the same disk. But I want to do so without deploying the ODBC or OLEDB drivers. That is, I do not want to have to copy the driver files to the client's hard disk or add any registry entries. Is this possible?
In the Powerbuilder and ASA documentation they mention something about "embedded database connections" and supposedly you can specify the executable for the database server in the connection string. But that was no help.
When you attempt to connect to a database and "ODBC" is specified for the DBMS property of the transaction object, PowerBuilder is going to want to start loading drivers and looking to an ODBC datasource for the driver's info.
The only thing I can think to try, is to create all the registry entries at run time and point them to the driver files and the .db file on the CD. You might be able to make things easier with a file based datasource on the CD already, but you'll still need to create registry entries to setup the driver details. Then you can remove all those entries when you disconnect/close the application. I don't think you can do this completely without registry entries.
You do have to deploy the ODBC driver, that's how PB talks to SQL Anywhere. You dont have to create a DNS entry though, you can usr a DNSless connection.

Since you aren't getting much feedback I thought I'd offer this. I've done this with MS Access, but MS Access is much easier to connect to and most Windows PC's are able to connect via File based DSN.
You definitely want to avoid ODBC if at all possible look for File based DSN in ASA, but because it is more of a full database engine I doubt it is possible without ODBC and setting up ODBC via Registry Entries is possible but no fun at all especially if your clients are running different versions of Windows.
Here is the connect string I used for something similar but MS Access. I choose Access for this exact reason, it was for a RPG program and I wanted a database but didn't want to mess with ODBC.
Sample:
"Connectstring='Driver={Microsoft Access Driver
(*.mdb)};UID=abc;PWD=123; Dbq=C:\Program Files\Mafia Manager\mm.mdb;
Exclusive=1;'"
I need to manipulate some tables in a JET database housed on a web-server:
check existing indexes
change table cluster/primary key
see what tables exist
rename tables
add tables
drop tables
browse data
etc
I don't have the option of installing PlaneDisaster or Access (even if i had it) on the local machine.
I've already written a generic web-based query tool. I'd rather not have to get into writing a whole web-based database maintenance GUI. Someone must have done this already, and probably many times over.
A partial answer might be Compare'Em
http://home.gci.net/~mike-noel/CompareEM-LITE/CompareEMscreens/CompareEM-About.htm The Pro version allows you to create SQL statements to update the Access database file. This will allow you to generate the differences between one version and a newer version.
His website isn't very clear but as I recall the price for the Pro version was $10.
As you say you have already done a generic web based query tool. The problem with JET is that you cannot connect with it as database server like you can do with one SQL server in order to process changes to tables and other maintenance procedures. Jet is is not a client/server RDBMS. You need to have an application in the server to do that for you as you already have done with your generic web based tool, or download the database to your machine. That's why you have done some procedures and locate them in the server as asp pages.
Anyway you can use JetSQLConsole, if you don't want to use Planedisaster or Access, but remember that you need always an application on the server to to the job for you
You can also use access "in your machine" and connect to a database located in a URL (http://myserver/mydatabase.mdb) but remember when you are doing this you are downloading all the database and when you save it you are uploading it again.
