All,
I am using the SSMA console to migrate certain objects from an Access DB to SQL Server.
By default, the console LOADS all objects, but in fact I do not require all of them to be loaded, nor do they need to be converted and migrated.
I was wondering if it's possible to load only certain objects from a database instead of the entire database? If so, how can this be achieved?
I cannot find it in the documentation :(

Many thanks.
Simply expand the metadata explorer, and expand the database down to the table level. As the follow screen shot shows, you can select any table you choose.
Thus save the project, and use that as the project name when you up-size. I not looked at command line options, but specifying the project in question likly is an opiton if you not using the above GUI. So use the GUI to setup the project and select the tables you wish. You then use this project for the up-size.

Basically I need to connect a MySql database to an IOS application and save a local copy to the device but i'm confused about which path I should take to do this.
Here is a basic description of the application:
The application is used to replace multiple paper based forms, allowing the user to complete a desired form on an iPad. Once the user has completed the form, the forms data is uploaded to a server.
Some forms have fields where the user is required to 'select' an option (drop down list). These options need to be pulled from a database because the options will be changed regularly.
The application still needs to work if there is no internet connection!
This means that whenever there is a connection the application needs to save a copy of the current database so that any required information to fill out forms is still available even if there is no connection.
In short my question is: What is my best option to save a local copy of a database (or just a few tables) to an IOS application?
You should look into Core Data. If you're trying to keep an updated copy of a couple tables, I would create a Core Data database that contains the information you need for your app and, every time the user uses your app, check to see if there's an internet connection. If there is, use NSURLSession to download the necessary data from the web server, after which you can compare the downloaded data to that which is in your Core Data database. If there are any discrepancies between the two, you can update your Core Data database as needed. This way you will always have a relatively up-to-date copy of your MySQL database.
This is a good tutorial for getting a feel for NSURLSession in case you haven't used it much.
Hope it helps!
So I'm moving from MS Access to MySQL:
In MS Access you can store certain INSERT, DELETE, and UPDATE queries as objects alongside your tables. Thus for anyone who don't understand computers that well, they can click on the objects and automatically run the queries to alter the master table for various business functions.
In MySQL, where and how do you store these queries, I seem to be only able to make tables. When I write a piece of code using the SQL editor, I can only save it to a remote location (such as my local desktop) and not onto the MySQL database, where it's accessible for my coworkers.
If you can't save it onto the server, how would I write a piece of code and execute it within the database that would be easily usable by others.
Thanks
The answer to this question is going to depend on your environment, your users, and your bandwidth to support any given solution. You are gaining a lot by making the switch from Access to MySQL, however you are losing some of the the WYSIWYG features. (e.g., Access forms that can bind directly to your data source.)
There are many approaches:
If your users are more advanced, simply having access to the database using MySQL Workbench may suffice. From there they would have access to run views, stored procedures, or to create their own custom queries.
Another option would be to script your objects using Python and provide a simple gui using TkInter. Python is generally thought of as an easy to use language; with built in suppport for MySQL and TkInter is its "default" interface.
Using the LAMP architecture is another largely popular paradigm using MySQL as the backend database.
There is also nothing stopping you from using Access to link to your MySQL db using MySQL as an external data source.
I hope this provides enough info to help you begin whittling down your options.
I have an .sql script that contains inserts and creates tables. I used the "Create EER Model From Script"
It created the tables but I can't see the data inside these tables.
I went to the query menu and tried to make a query but it gives me an error about not being able to connect to localhost.
Am I doing it right?
As documented under Create EER Model from SQL Script:
Clicking this action item launches the Reverse Engineer SQL Script wizard. This is a multi-stage wizard that enables you to select the script you want to create your model from.
For further information, see Section 7.7.9.1, “Reverse Engineering Using a Create Script”.
Following that link:
However, if you are working with a script that also contains DML statements you need not remove them; they will be ignored.
Instead, you want the Manage Data Import/Export option under Server Administration (within the Workspace section of the Home window).
You are confusing things here. Creating a model from a script is a process where meta data is examined and a model is created that you can then use to modify your schema structure, further design your db objects and all that. Modeling is a design process for the structure of your schema/db so it only deals with meta data. It's also used for documentation (e.g. in teams).
On the other hand there's normal sql work with existing db objects and/or actually creating/deleting/modifying db objects. In order to do the latter you must have an understanding of the design of the schema (which you could get by using the modeling part of MySQL Workbench, but not only by that). This is also the place to load a script, run it to insert data and such.
The error you mentioned regarding the connection is yet another problem and you need to solve this first to be able to even access your server. And yes, you have to install a server first somewhere. MySQL Workbench is a tool to visually work with your server(s) in opposition to the MySQL command line client which is a pure text interface (but still also a client application for your MySQL servers).
If you are on Windows and want a MySQL server installed locally (e.g. for testing) your best option is to download the MySQL Installer which greatly simplifies installing any of the tools from the MySQL family (server, client tools, connectors, documentation and more).
I have some corrupted data, an individual entry, in the database for my Magento installation. Since I can see the corrupted data displaying, I'd like to use a Magento extension to show me the database call displaying that data onscreen. Does such a tool exist? If not, what would be the best tool for SQL to gather this information?
You can see the SQL statement used to load a collection by using $collection->getSelect(). You'd have to narrow down the collection call first though, which might not be much help in your case.

I'm currently in the planning phase of a rather large project that I'll develop in the Zend Framework. One of the problems I'm facing is that the customers will want to translate not only the content but also the interface. I'm currently using gettext and poedit to manage my language files but this is not an option for the customer as they, for one, wont have FTP access to the site.
Hence, I'm thinking of a mysql back end with an interface in the front end for the customer to manage his own translations of the interface. There is however still no mysql adapater for Zend_Translate.
So, does anybody now of an adapter script for Zend_Translate so it can work with a mysql table? Or any arguments against using mysql and possible other solutions for this problem?
You could solve this problem on different ways:
Extend Zend_Translate_Adapter to create your own. All new adapters are only responsible from getting the translations out from the source. That is, you would need only to fetch the translations from the database. Look at other adapters and see how they are implemented.
Fetch the data from the database and pass it to Zend_Translate_Adapter_Array
Use Zend_Translate_Adapter_Csv or Ini. As there would be more reading the writing on the translations, this solution would cut down the number of queries to the database. When the client adds a new language or changes an existing one, simply write it to a file, not the database.
If you decide to go with the database adapter, maybe you could "tag" somehow the translations, so that on the home page you fetch only the translations for the home page, on the contact page only the translations for the contact page...
HTH!
Default Zend adapters handle caching well, so I'd stick to them, unless you really need database.
Instead storing the translation data in the database, you may directly operate on the translation files (e.g. po templates). This would be the best choice if you just needed to add (append to file) new translation strings.
You may use Zend_Translate's option to log untranslated messages (to file or any log adapter, including database),
and then handle the logs, or even create listener translating the saved strings.
