I was looking for a open source library for generating automated summaries out of few words. For ex: if two qualities are given of a person a) good thinking skills b) bad handwriting, i need to generate a sentence like "Bob has good thinking skills however needs to improve on his handwriting". I need to know if any open source library could help me achieve it even partially.
Thanks for help!

You could start with MEAD. Not sure what sort of mileage you'll get with single-sentence summarization, but you may be able to do some post-processing on the output and manage it.
It would take a bit of work, but you could also construct something out of NLTK and one or more the associated databases (eg. WordNet). Python, open source.

I am parsing large amounts of complex files (mostly CSV files but some are not) and I need to structure/parse them into some standard formats. This not only involves row wise cleanup of data but some simple individual cell-based logic. I want a tool that a non-programmer can use also so a business team member can write simple drag and drop logic and not take up engineering time. So far, I have looked at Google Refine and Data wrangler and the last one looks great. Are there any other such tools out there?
ETL tools are oriented more towards relational databases, but also have support for XML and CSV file input/output. Examples:

Could easily be too complicated for your requirements though. Also, see this similar question on SO (with additional links): What software is availible for data quality checking .

So I've been reading up on the D programming language for a while, and it really seems like a cool new language to learn. My impression is that it combines the power of C with intuitive syntax and garbage collection. What more could I want? Ok...so these accounts I've been reading are probably a bit idealized.
However, I just downloaded a D compiler and am looking to learn. I feel like a great way to learn might be to just get hands on in a project. I have no idea where to start though. Where could I find some easy, small D projects (that might actually contribute something to the world)? Or if not getting hands on in something, how would you recommend learning?
what about a quick tutorial,

I am looking for an interactive exploratory tool to embed in a commercial application.
I am looking for a commercial-friendly licensed open source alternative to the wonderful Tableau system
Take a look at Pentaho. It's built from open source parts so you should be able to reuse parts of that. There's also R, though that is really more of a statistical programming framework than an ready-to-use exploratory tool.
If you're looking for something that's as easy to use as Tableau though, I'm afraid you won't find any open source solutions.
You can build interactive exploratory visualizations in the browser with D3.

As I know these two databases are the most popular and the best, but which one is the best? And what are the benefits to use one or other? Currently I use MySQL and I don't really have any experiences with Oracle, but I want to know what's the best choice and why?
I mean how fast they are, what kind of features they have, how easy is to use them with php, and so one, you know better :)
Some real examples:
1.000.000 users come to my
website, they visit 100 pages every day and each
page is 1mb's , now which
on is the faster?
I run a query on the database to
search for 10.000 users, now which
one is faster?
See, when you add in "how easy to use with PHP," I'm going to have to go with MySQL. At least, you will find the most resources online to help you on your journey.

I want to write a stored procedure to increment the value of an int column by one. Looks like a very simple task, but not for someone without ANY experience with stored procedures.
To do that I looked for tutorials and code samples, and found a few, but sure there are better ones out there. Do you know any?
The ones I found:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/call.html (code sample)
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mysql/print.php/3525581
http://www.mysql.com/news-and-events/newsletter/2004-01/a0000000297.html
http://www.devshed.com/c/a/MySQL/A-DIY-Approach-to-Stored-Procedures-in-MySQL/
http://www.phpbits.info/mysql-tutorial/stored-procedures-in-mysql/
http://www.kbedell.com/2009/03/02/a-simple-example-of-a-mysql-stored-procedure-that-uses-a-cursor/
It is in german but it is a good one.
http://www.tutorials.de/forum/sql-tutorials/179510-stored-procedures-mysql-5-a.html
In english I think the stuff at this place is fine. You got many different tutorials.
http://www.mysqltutorial.org/mysql-stored-procedure-tutorial.aspx
I'd recommend picking up a copy of MySQL Second Edition by Larry Ullman. He has a good overview of stored procedures. That coupled with the tutorials you've already found should give you a good start with them.
