This is my first time ever working with Lotus Notes, where the client want to move its database to mysql.
I have spent a week to read on Lotus Notes but going nowhere. When I search for some tool to migrate database, it does not support version 5.
It is a better idea to upgrade to latest version and than migrate...please advice...
Yes, you can update to latest IBM Notes/Domino version and database will still run without any change. That is one of the cool things about Notes...

I have a Notes application where we have a Live version and Development version. Something strange is occurring on the Live version and I wish to export the affected documents from Live to Development with the aim of using these for a work around. Is there an easy way to do this?
Use copy/paste:
select the documents in question in the live version
choose Edit - Copy
go to the development version
choose Edit - Paste
I have to migrate a Lotus Application to couchdb/hood.ie.
anyone seen a kind of sync between Lotus Notes/Domino and couchdb?
thx

Aside from writing a custom data exporter and re-building the app in web technology, I think you are out of luck. Hoodie/CouchDB are good choices for getting an app out of the Notes land, though :)
a kind of sync
install a RSS feed application into the Lotus Notes DB and start polling (and yes, that could only be a workaround to finally leave the Notes System)
I'm trying to use VS 2012 SQL Server Database project for versioning control of our database schema. However, our database schema is being updated by another team/tool, instead of through the Database project. Whenever it's updated, I have to manually update the Database project files - very tedious and error-pron. I'm wondering if there is a way to auto refresh all the schema changes from the updated database (just like the EF UI design tool which has a 'Update model from database' menu)?
Thanks!!
You can try using Schema Compare to compare & update the schema changes. Learn more:

With the disclaimer that it's still a 'beta' feature (for now), you can now use SQL Source Control to link your database with a database project. This integrates into SQL Server Management Studio. This means that you will get little blue indicators overlaid on the Object Explorer each time a change gets made to the database that isn't synced to your project. It doesn't matter where the change gets made, be it in SSMS or otherwise.
There's a 28-day trial, so we'd encourage you to try it and let us (Red Gate) know if you come across any issues.
My task is to pull the data from lotusnotes database using one of the technologies.... I wanna know which is a better technology... I have already installed NotesSQL odbc driver & configured it
Depends on what exactly you're trying to do, NotesSQL will let you pull data, or you can export from Lotus Notes views in csv format, it's standard functionality. You could also code a scheduled agent to dump data at a regular intervals etc etc.
Your question is similar to this one. My answer goes into some detail about how to access Lotus Notes using Java, setup instructions and what to read for API's supporting it.
We are using WSS 3.0 at work to manage design documents for our systems. We work in a parallel environment which means we usually have a production copy of a document (e.g Doc A) plus also two or more versions of that document that will be worked on by independent project teams (Doc A (proj 1) & Doc A (proj 2)), we have in the past achieved this by keeping the documents in seperate site collections, however this is very messy and over time has become extremely hard to keep track of the latest versions.
What I am trying to achieve is to store all versions of Doc A in the same document library keeping the name the same but distinguish the different versions of the document using meta-data fields so that users will be able to view the production version of the document while proj 1 and proj 2 can work on their documents seperately. Each individual version of the document must also be searchable using the WSS search.
E.g Name Project Name
Doc A Production
Doc A Proj 1
Doc A Proj 2
I have thought about simply using version control in the library to maintain the different versions of the document and allow the users to simply go to version history to choose which document they want to view or work on. The issue with this approach is that I can not get the seperate version of the document to show up in the search results.
I am stuck with WSS 3.0 for at least another 12 months, so my solution has to be WSS 3.0 based.
Has anyone had experience trying to implement something similar and if so what was the solution that you used? I can't imagine that I am the only one trying to cater for a paraelle development environment.
Short Answer: Renaming Document is the solution (Post-fixing something to make distinct document name).
Long Answer: I got chance to migrate huge document base from oracle portal to MOSS 2007 and I spent time to find out the solution. Finally I ended up post-fixing versions manually/programmatically in the event handler.
