I’m collaborating with some friends on making a Pokémon database for a Pokédex Challenge and we realised that all that we wanted this database to do Poké API was already doing. However I can’t seem to download it into My SQL, no matter what I try.
I’ve copy and pasted the raw files into the SQL of a new database, an existing one, and tried to import using Pages (I don’t know what other program to use, and likely don’t have it anyway).
EDIT: So I’m trying to recreate the database Poké API so that I have my own copy to edit and query. On their GitHub, Poké API have various ways of-I think-copying the database into different database management tools, but I don’t see mine there. I’ve also tried to copy and paste raw CSV and JSON files that their GitHub provides into my database management tool-which I think is Mariadb-but this hasn’t worked either. I also tried importing it in as a CSV file, but evidently I can’t use Pages on my Mac, which I expected, but have no idea what else to use.
I’m not very experienced with MySQL and am still learning, so if there is information you need to help me that’s missing, just let me know

I am trying to make a web page that gets information about books using HTML and to place the information about books into a database to use it. Any idea of how to take the information from the website open library and store it into a database?
here is the link to the API if needed:
https://openlibrary.org/developers/api
thanks in advance.
If postgreSQL and python is a viable option, LibrariesHacked has a ready-made solution on GitHub for importing and searching Open Library data.
GitHub: LibrariesHacked / openlibrary-search
Using a postgreSQL database it should be possible to import the data directly into tables and then do complex searches with SQL.
Unfortunately the downloads provided are a bit messy. The open library file always errors as the number of columns provided seem to vary. Cleaning it up is difficult as just the text file for editions is 25GB.
That means another python script to clean up the data. The file openlibrary-data-process.py simply reads in the CSV (python is a little more forgiving about dodgy data) and writes it out again, but only if there are 5 columns.

Last year I started to develop a small "program" (not sure how this is called) in Access to help the family shop with the stock list and product prices, etc.
A few months ago, a client of the company started to ask for my Access's program because he needed one for its stock and they haven't found one yet. I was a bit scared of giving them the program because they could copy and steal my work.
Finally, my family suggested me to encrypt it in order to not be able to open its code, but I don't know how to do it.
So my questions are:
Is there a way to block the access to my VBA code in each Form? Through MS Access config or with more code, for me, it's the same.
Is there a way to block the duplication of its Forms or the whole file?
How can I secure my code?
I'm using MS Access 2016.
Edit: I've already got 2 downvotes and close flags, if you could explain to me in comments which thing do you think it's wrong I could try to fix it.
Access 2016 allows you to save as .accde format which is in effect an executable file. It seems that is what you need
Heres's how
you can also hide most of the Access environment so users can't really tell its Access
like so
Saving as an executable file as SEarl1986 said may be your best bet. I am unsure what happens to their database if you need to update your code tho.
Another way is to open Visual Basic, go to Tools, and "yourfilenames" properties, then under the protection tab you can "lock the project for viewing" and add a password.
It isn't foolproof as their is a method to break the password by editing the file with a hex editing tool, but it's a good lock that will deter most people. It will protect your code from prying eyes.

I am trying to learn more about wordpress and am bothered with this question.
I hosted my site on bluehost and decided to make a backup. I made a copy of public_html and downloaded it, I was later told by the support that I also need to export the database. That got me thinking where the actual data is located, if not in the public_html directory, where are the actual files that contains all the tables etc?
I asked the support but didn't get a good answer. Surely, all the data must be stored in some files somewhere, so shouldn't I be able to find them, download them, and not have to use an interface like PhpMyAdmin?
On BlueHost ask them to give you an export of SQL File of your database.
If you go the management panel and find MySQL (Database Software) where WordPress database files are stored.
But its best to install plugins like Wordpress DB backup in your WordPress and then use that plugin to download a backup of the database file. That may be easier for you considering you are a non-technical user.

I need to transform an xlsx file to CSV in AIX. The server doesn't have any command for that and I am not allowed to install anything on it. Also, no Python/Perl library for reading Spreadsheets are installed on the server.
Is there still any work around for doing this?
P.S.: it has to work with what is on the server
xlsx is an open xml format, specifications can be found.
Otherwise libraries for perl can be found on CPAN, sources may help to pick some parts.
To start maybe unzip the .xslx it will give a set of xml files and have a look if data can be retrieved.
It is no way to do it or at least not an easy one (like a simple script or command).
Maybe by working on that xml files (Nahuel Fouilleul answer) but it will take too much time.
jugging by reception alone of the question it looks like people don´t want to touch this issue even with a stick.

Is it possible to make an mySQL database on the web so that any person from any network can access it? For example if somebody in Europe downloads my program, it will still be able to connect to the mySQL database without problems.
Currently, I am using Connector J with a locally hosted mySQL database.
Edit: Basically I want to create an online mySQL database (not locally hosted) where anybody can download my program and the program from any internet connection can read and write the data from the server online.
Also are there any free online mySQL hosting services?
Edit:
For example, java games access data online from a database, but they are not on the same database. How can I achieve this? Are mySQL databases still the way to go?
It's difficult to understand your purpose but what I perceived from your question is maybe you are looking for some sort of cloud app service like Heroku. Take a look at their ClearDB add-on and see if that fulfills your need.
