I'm newbie to the tech world. I need some information on how to do this.
1) We have data in excel sheet(where actively data changes are done like edit, delete, input data )
2) We have html page where when we enter login of a employee all the information about that employee should be shown on webpage with the information from above excel sheet.
I don't know php, .net etc. Simply I can do html and a little java script.
Please help me with this.
I read you problem, and here is my help.
First you have to know that excel files are difficult to use in other programs.
They are maybe APIs out there like google docs or microsoft office that can help you extract data from an excel file but this is not easy and not a long term solution.
I assume you are using excel because it is an easy way to input data and see that data. You should consider creating a database with access, that has a similar interface. In the options you should chose sql as format. You should learn a bit about sql.
Once you have a sql file that contains all the data that previously was in your excel file, go learn the basics of a server side language like node(node is javascript with server functionality) for instance.
Then write a html template that works for a employee.
When server is requested information from an employee you populate that html template with data found in the sql database. To find data in sql it is very easy once you know the basics of sql.
Forget the excel and enter new data exclusively in the sql database file(s).
You can do that with access or other tools.

I want to populate a mysql database with basic 'holiday resort' content e.g. name of the resort, description, country. What methods can i use to populate it?
First, find the Web sites of one or more holiday companies who offer the destinations you're interested in. You're going to scrape these.
You don't say what language you're using for the implementation, but here is how you might do it in Perl:
Write a scraper using LWP::UserAgent and HTML::TreeBuilder to explore the site and
extract the destination information.
Use DBI with the DBD::MySQL
driver to insert the data into your database.
Where is the content? You can use LOAD DATA INFILE syntax, or import from a CSV file, or write a script in Java or C++ or C# to parse the file(s) holding the data and populate the database via INSERT statements. You could hire and intern and make him/her type it all up. If you don't have it in a file, you could write a web-spider to go and get crap from Google and stuff it into the database.
But I can't help you until you tell me where the data is.
Ok, I know I'm late but I created an application to (create and/or) auto-populate tables. Below is a short demonstration but check it out here if you want.
I need an alternative to exporting to a csv file. Basically, the requirement is to be able to allow the user to edit any amount of data from the database. Currently, the option is to export the data to csv and then the user can update them in Microsoft Excel. Thus, one can edit it without actually needing to have our web application installed. However, we are trying to avoid this approach due to some issues we encountered with working with CSV on Excel. Can someone recommend an alternative solution?
Most programming languages have libraries to allow you to import/export excel directly which avoids many of these issues. This means you won't have to tell you users to do special Save As when saving their files.
Java: http://poi.apache.org
Ruby: http://spreadsheet.rubyforge.org or http://roo.rubyforge.org
Google can provide options for other languages.
I'm working on excel with VBA and access and i need my system to save its data to an Access database and whenever any new records added, deleted or modified the database should update.
I would like to link my spreadsheet and database using ADO but i couldn't find any online resources to help me with that.
Can you please let me know what i need to now in order to do that and any link that you may know that will be usefull?
Thank you
Andrew
I am surprised you are having difficulty finding on-line resources. The topic comes up on Stackoverflow often enough, for example: Export value from Excel worksheet to Access record
I have a database schema and i want to generate a document in any format(html or pdf or excel) of all the tables,stored procedures ,triggers for mysql .Please suggest a suitable tool which can provide all the documents
Following these steps should help:
connect to the database and retrieve data
use an appropriate module in your programming language of choice which is able to handle formats such as HTML/PDF/XLS(X)
organise the retrieved data in a presentable form and write to file using the module that you chose in step 2
I have a commercial ColdFusion application, running on a MySQL database. A possible new client has approached me, they have been working in a Lotus Notes environment (and their own database) for many years now. Ofcourse they want to migrate their data to my application, before making the move.
I'm trying to get a grip on how to get a thorough feeling of the data, structure and interdependencies in their current database-application. Are there any tools to see a database-structure (like in a RDBMS) of a NSF-file, or is there anyway to dump the structure using ColdFusion etc....I don't have any handson experience with Lotus Notes (I do in the meanwhile have a local Lotus client and their database).
I need a good startingpoint to be able to determine whether or not I can find a way to migrate the data.
Any ideas??
thanks
Bart
To get at the data in Notes, a good option is to use NotesSQL which can be found here:
A quick overview of the Notes data structure is this: Notes is a document-centric database, with non-relational data contained within each document. Notes Databases (NSFs) contain any number of Notes Documents, which in turn contain any number of items that hold data. Each Notes Document can have a different set of items, and thus different data in it. While that sounds like a horrible mess, usually the documents have similar data based on the form used to create the documents.
This all leads to why there is no simple way to get data out of Lotus Notes. There are a few other options, which may or may not be useful depending on how much data you have to migrate.
I personally like using XML to extract data from Lotus Notes. You can do so by creating XML views within a Notes database. IBM has a tutorial that looks helpful.
Using Java or LotusScript, you can write code to extract data from the documents to any format you wish (CSV, XML, TXT, etc)
If it's not a lot of data, you may find getting the data into an Excel format is the simplest intermediary step. Long ago I wrote an add-in tool for exporting data from Lotus Notes to Excel, which may help you. Or you can use the "Edit > Copy Selected To Table" feature in the Lotus Notes client to copy what is visible in a Notes View to the clipboard, and then paste that into Excel. In that scenario, you'd want to edit the views so they show all the data you need.
I hope this helps!
