Has anyone connected the R package to QuickBooks? I know there is an ODBC driver than can be bought. Just wondering if anyone has already gone down this road.
Any insight will be much appreciated!

Google QODBC. It allows you to access Quickbooks via ODBC.
However, it works through creating an interface to XML files. For large QB files it can be painfully slow if you don't properly use indices and limit the data to exactly what is necessary. It's also very quirky. Lastly, not all tables are exposed (Quickbooks fault, not theirs) such as some payroll tables.
What I often ended up doing for large QB files is exporting the data at night via the QODBC driver into a sql database so that ad hoc analysis could be run quickly without compromising the performance for QB users during the day.
Good luck!

Background: I want to build a simple distributed environment in R, which could do some "data massive" jobs in WINDOWS. For example, to calculate "big" matrix multiplication. There seem to have varies of solutions and I worked on them for a while, but I can't fix it.
I already tried these: Rserve & RSclient, packages such as snow, snowfall.
I tried several ways but I can't find a proper solution to transform data between clients, and it could be a disaster if all the data transform has to through the master.
Question: Is there any functions to deliver a matrix between every two computers as I want in a cluster?
I get an idea that maybe socket connection could work, but how can I start it gracefully? Should I have to start R script on different computers manually since there seems no SSH in the WINDOWS? I have to work on it because of my professor.
Wanted to know if it's good practice to do that? Thanks in advance.
You have the option to use would be using SparkR .
You will be compelled to use Spark APIs to distribute your data and there's a chance certain packages don't behave as expected but it would do the job.
A spark standalone cluster is made of a master accessible via HTTP and multiple workers. It's not the Ideal solution for resource sharing but it's lighter than a Hadoop + spark on yarn solution.
Finally you can try Dataiku as it can provide such ability via notebooks, spark integration and Dataset management . The community edition is not collaborative but they provide free license to schools

I am creating a library web portal for various colleges, for now I am using a single database for all colleges. I am confused whether to use separate databases for each college or not. Because for now there are 7 colleges using that web portal, but in the future, if there 100 colleges using that web portal, all of them having millions of records in the database.
I would say, stick to that single database for now. In future if that database contains millions of records, you don't need to worry.
You can migrate the data from that database to another one using the method Database Replication.
For more details: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/database-mirroring/database-mirroring-and-replication-sql-server.
If you want to transfer between two servers like taking backups and restoring to the database on different server, you can use the method -Transaction log shipping.

In relation to Teradata Client 14.10, I was wondering if I could use this tool to run SQL, view tables and change passwords?
New to teradata.
Many Thanks.
Use the SQL Assistant from the client set, it would suffice.
Studio is too cranky at this point, was supposed to be an equivalent eventually replacing the assistant.
... teradata studio; a pre-baked eclipse plugin. Works pretty well and doesn't require all the old men ODBC configuration '90s msft weirdness. sorry a 'lil high rugh now.

I'm totally confused about what kind of applications can I write If I learn how to use Enginio. This is what the Enginio site says:
With Enginio, you can create stunning Qt applications, add a scalable
and powerful Qt cloud backend as a service in no time and deploy in
minutes without ever bothering about backend servers or scalability
problems.
Can I think of Enginio as a remote QFile or is it much more bigger? Can someone name some samples written with Qt + Enginio.
It looks like this is a new service still in development, hence there isn't a tag for it, yet.
From the website, it looks like they provide you with some of the common things all applications need, and provide an interface for qt. You can basically create whatever you want.
Instead of providing only a remote file, they also let you store json objects, lowering some of the impedance between object and file.
Probably not too many examples with this new thing. Maybe you can ask them to provide more samples.

I have an engineering firm and our website was built using Visual Studio 2010 / asp.net 4.0 / VB. Recently, a client (GM) requested that we have a knowledge base where they can input their questions, and we can answer 'em. Kind of like a FAQ, or a Lessons Learned type of thing. But it'll require that they'll be able to log in and ask their own questions.
For instance: Q: How would I incorporate multiple machine vision systems into a bead detection application?
A: You would need to use a software such as PPT and have multiple fixtures in order to assimilate the cameras accordingly.
I'm terrible at databases; I can basically run an SQL query, and that's about it! lol. And I'm not a programmer by trade. Can I do this without a database? Can anyone guide me in the right direction here? I mean, is there something out there that's open-source, or at least something that's easy to implement?
Any guidance in this regard would be greatly greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Just install a Wiki.
There are plenty of different ones out there - some written in .NET lanaguages.
