I know Joomla website development fairly well, but SugarCRM practically not at all. I had my friend using hosted SugarCRM Professional, manually export selected fields from her 300 accounts to an excel spreadsheet and selected fields from her 900 contacts to another excel spreadsheet. Using phpmyadmin I imported the excel spreadsheets into my Joomla mysql database. I then wrote some modules to display the accounts and contacts on her Joomla website.
My question is, I'd like to make it so she can refresh the the Joomla website from the Sugar whenever she wants, with some simple steps. Can Sugar Professional export to a mysql bypassing the ExceL? Can hosted Sugar Professional export to the community version of SugarCRM - because I could host that with my Joomla and probably go right into the tables - the only thing is I don't want to copy financial related data fields from her Professional Sugar tables. What technologies would a professional SugarCRM Developer use?
There are some solutions out there that may already do this for you. Check out https://www.sugaroutfitters.com/addons/sugarycb for one of them. Could save a ton of time/hassle.

Well, I'm doing a website for a company, and I'm working on different steps, lets's say, first I upload some part of the functional website while I work on future sections.
The thing is that I'm creating more tables and columns on the localhost database.
What I need to do is to copy all the Data from the cPanel phpMyAdmin Database, insert it into the new DB, and then re-upload the new Database on that server without losing the information.
This is because every time I upload the Database to the Hosting it resets the values of the tables.
I don't know how not to lose that information, thanks for reading, and sorry if you don't understand something but I'm not an English native speaker.
(I'm using MySQL for the Database Management).
I have a question which I could not find a solution on google and stackoverflow.
The situation is that I am building a new application(portal) which will replace the old portal. The old portal uses Mysql, which stores all the members' data.
Now I have to migrate all these members data to the new portal which is using psql.
I searched everywhere and most tutorials are about converting a database from one database to another on the same application. But now I am trying to migrate just certain records from old application to a new application, and also changing the database from mysql to psql.
Does anyone has any resources or tutorials on how I can achieve this?
Thank you very much.
We would like to be able to publish Filemaker data on our Wordpress website. The website is up and running and the filemaker database is set up. We do not need a live connection between both systems so we chose to export the FM data to .csv so we can import it to the mysql database on the server and from there we would like to display in on the website.
Now are my questions, since this kind of development is new to us:
can I setup an automated import to the mysql database from a source like dropbox or something? For example can we make the mysql database import and overwrite the existing database each 24 hours from a .csv file located somewhere? We need this automated overwrite option because the FM data changes often and we need up to date info on the website)
How can we display the data from the mysql database on the WP frontend?
I've been looking into this myself and couldn't find any clear answers or guides. Can you guys point me in the right direction?
(btw, I know there are table plugins I can use for WP but they do not fulfill our needs, and I think it's exciting to do it all by ourself with help from this great community)
Update 01
I've successfully connected FM with my MySQL db using ODBC and can now select tables from the MySQL db in FM's relational graph.
I was wondering how I can write the data from my existing FM file to the MySQL db using ODBC, can anybody help me on this?
I would like to display the data in some MySQL tables so I can fetch them using php on my website.
Thanks!
It is possible to write directly into (and read from) a remote MySQL database from FileMaker via ODBC.
You need an MySQL account which allows remote access. There are providers where this is not allowed.
On the local box the odbc driver needs to be installed. On Win you can use the open source version (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/), on Mac it works better with the Actual Tech (http://www.actualtech.com/de/product_opensourcedatabases.php) drivers.
An odbc system dsn (not user dsn) is set up. Be sure to use the 32-bit odbc manager on Win.
Now you can create the external data source within FileMaker and read and write into MySQL tables.
Once you have made the connection to the MySQL database, and you can see the shadow tables, you can write to the fields directly via Filemaker layouts. It's as simple as that.
Once the layout contains the fields from the MySQL database you can move through records, find stuff all as if the data were native in your FM database. Of course, for more automated processing, you can create scripts, relationships etc and manipulate/synchronise data. Be warned though, the connection speed can limit complex relationships and large databases. I would advise 'baby steps'.
I have a client website that is running on Prestashop v1.4
Because it has been "maintained" by a previous developer who modified core files and generally made a big mess, the upgrade module no longer works properly. Given that the client is handing over the project to me, and wants a new theme implemented, I am moving straight to Prestashop 1.6 and using the Compass/Boostrap 3 default theme as a base.
Obviously, the important thing is that the clients data should be migrated. So my question is, is it possible to make a clean export from Prestashop 1.4 of only the actual sales and website access data, skipping anything like module configs etc, in order to reimport it all to Prestashop 1.6?
This way, my client can keep his order data, access data, products, payments etc, and I can build a new theme without having to fight with an old installation or theme that have hardcoded rubbish in it.
This module provides an automated method migrate products, customers, orders, categories, customers password and other data from Prestashop to Prestashop.

I think you can choose many migrate module to do your request.
If you only want to upgrade the current site to 1.6 (or the latest version). you can create a new site and transfer all of the data from the current site to the live site.
After you had set up the live site completely, you just re-transfer data from the new site to the live site. you can use a module many times with the site that has been granted a license.
If you want to transfer Product, categories and customer, you just use the Upgrade PrestaShop 1.6 to 1.7 free
If you want to transfer all of the data (products, customer, categories, order, cms, message, shipping,...) you should purchase the premium version module: 1 CLICK to migrate
I am using Filemaker pro 12 to manage a small database. What I need is to generate some stats based on the data in the database and update an HTML page so at any point I get updated stats. How would I do this ? I am a newbie when it comes to databases.
I am not necessarily sold on filemaker and if there is a better database option that has easier options available for autoupdating a website from the database, generate real time data etc. I am open to hearing about them. Thanks in advance for helping out.
If the FileMaker database is hosted using FileMaker server, you can output information from a FileMaker database to a web page using the FileMaker API for PHP. You just need to enable access via PHP in FileMaker server, and write the appropriate PHP code to pull out the data you want. You probably want the FileMaker server and the web server to be at the same location as there can be a bit of overhead going between them.
Advantage of the above is that it is real-time. However, if your web site is high traffic, it could bog down your FileMaker system.
Another way would be to build the web page using MySQL. FileMaker can access MySQL tables and then manipulate them almost as if they are local tables. You could have a script that periodically imports data into the MySQL table from the local tables. You could run the script as often as you want to keep the data up-to-date, but it wouldn't be as up-to-date as a live system. On the other hand, there wouldn't need to be a connection to the FileMaker database every time someone viewed your web page.
If you need something simpler and less current, you could write the entire page using FileMaker calculations, then manually export the field to an html file as required and manually upload it to the web server.
There are probably many other ways. You haven't been very specific in your requirements.
