I've got appharbor working currently with github, but the problem I'm running into is scripting my database schema (and test data) and having it deployed along with the rest of my project.
Have any of you done this before? How might I achieve this?
AppHarbor is already stripping out my dev connection string and replacing it with their own, but I'm not sure how to get my SQL DB to deploy automagically.
At AppHarbor, we use NHibernate SchemaUpdate. You can see it in action on this PostgreSQL-compatible sample and it should work just as well with SQL Server. The trick is to do it in Application_Start (and not during a build, which may fail).
If you're using Entity Framework, you should be able to achieve the same effect with the new Migrations feature.
Have a look at Manatee by Rob Conery:

This handles db migrations.

I hope I don't make it very confusing. So, for a school project I need to make a Spring MVC webapp that runs with a simple tomcat and connects to a DB. I downloaded xampp and made a DB with phpMyAdmin, but also run my app with an embedded tomcat server. I'm not exactly sure why but this seems problematic as I cannot access localhost. Is there a way to connect my app to the phpMyAdmin DB? If not, what would be an easy way to create and access a DB (I need only a really simple schema of one table)?? Any advice would help a ton!
If the web app is for long run i would suggest use of Hibernate ORM, you need to config and with few lines of code it will be live and runing, for just for trial or learning, H2 is a good options as #zlaval said in comments. And you can use any Database with Hibernate ORM, with one or two hours of research and studying you can achieve the task you searching for easily.
If you need to go for hibernate there there is some explained and easy steps to do so with hibernate ORM.

Is there a way to migrate a server application (with its repository), to the new Next Gen Console?
I have already a WildFly server in my personal account at URL: https://openshift.redhat.com/app/console/applications
But when I open the Next Gen Console, it's empty, and suggest me to create new project with a new server.
https://console.preview.openshift.com/console/
Is there a way to avoid setting up everything again?
I would like to keep server configurations, git repository, and Jenkins app from my former OpenShift Web Console.
Sorry, there is no direct migration tool. The manner in which the systems works is quite different from an operational standpoint, but you are also potentially going to have to tweak how your application code is organised and configured. I would suggest you create a fresh application in the new version to learn more how they are different and then you can plan what you may need to do to migrate it. I would suggest making using of the Google Group for OpenShift if you have more questions as it provides a better forum for discussion.

Soo, I've decided to toy around a bit with GAE. Most of my previous experience with developing web-applications is with ASP.Net, so this java / eclipse-world is kinda unfamiliar to me.
I read around, and found out that I can configure my project to use a Google Cloud SQL instance when it's deployed at Google, while using a local MySQL database while running locally on my development server.
The problem I ran in to now is that I can simply not press "Ok" in the eclipse dialog for configuring my local MySQL database? Well - I can, but with no result. No error message, no window close, no nothing.
I'm not really sure what I am doing wrong, but was hoping some wiz in here who has more experience than me with GAE have had a similar problem and a solution?
I've attached a picture of my local MySQL configuration:

Let's say I have written an application in Java that is programmed to use a MySQL database. The user of the Java application needs to have MySQL on their machine in order for the application to work.
What can I do to make sure that the user has the correct version of MySQL on their machine and if they don't then install it so they can properly run the Java application?
Note: I had sent some links to setup Java and MySQL for a business analyst of a program I am working on and he was not able to decipher the madness that is installing MySQL. He is not computer technical and wouldn't even know what to enter into the forms of the MySQL installation. What could I do to ease this task for the end user?
Update: Unfortunately, for security reasons that are a requirement for this project we have to use MySQL and not SQLite or Derby. Unless there is a way to make sure that no one deletes the SQLite database file or switches it out for another one. We need to guarantee data integrity and I find that using MySQL gives me the best chance at doing that.
What is the target platform?
Assuming something UNIXish, you can either:
1) Include a shell script to download, install, and setup mysql. Complicated, but not impossible.
2) Use an embedded Derby database. On my current project, we have a version where the user can just "download and go." That version uses an embedded Derby database that writes to a file, similar to hsqldb or sqlite3. Any of those are fine options.
The easiest thing for the user is to embed the database in the Java application. No setup required. There's MySQL OEM (not free), so you might consider switching to SQLite instead, which is the de facto standard embedded database. (See this question for more on that.)
Is it possible to use MySQL local? I mean NOT at a server. I read a lot about MySQL on a webserver with PHP, Joomla etc.
I want to program a piece of software and use a database local to store results. Can I use MySQL for that?
If so, is ther anyware on the net a good tutorial how to do that?
You can install MySQL on your workstation, it doesn't need to be on a "server" per se. You still need to use something that can connect to it. From a Java application, for instance, you'd use JDBC; from .Net, you'd probably use ADO.Net; etc.
As far as I know, it will still want to have its server process (mysqld) running and for you to connect to that process via sockets and the like; there's no standard in-process version that I'm aware of. (The server can be listening only on the local interface, though.) There are several alternatives if you want in-process stuff, such as SQLite and HSQLDB.
Of course, if you're feeling really enterprising, there's the open source version of MySQL, which means you could compile it into your app (if you're using C or something that can link to it), but I suspect that's going rather too far. :-)
Yes, works like a charm for this.
Mysqls homepage has lots of info for this.
use SQLite. it is a popular embedded database.
It can be deployed via XCopy and no server installs.
But it can only be used locally. i.e if you later on decide to allow remote access, then you will need to migrate it to MySQL or other databases.
Try xampplite - it will painlessly install MySQL for you (on your local windows machine) as well as apache, php and a few other web apps if you need them.
If you don't want to install a server, you may be interested into Sqlite! It's the most widely deployed embedded database, and it's Public Domain.

Firebird is also an alternative. It's fully ACID-compliant and runs under the Interbase Public License.
