Is there a tool that I can give a few people access to so that they can quickly modify the contents of our database? I'm looking for something easy to use and general purpose.
phppgadmin is going to be too complicated for some of the people that will be using it. I really like the django admin, but some of the constraints that Django brings are unacceptable. Something functionally similar would be great, I really do like how it works.
Have your tried using open office? you can get the postgresql driver here: http://dba.openoffice.org/drivers/postgresql/index.html
the you can create a quick form for anyone to add/delete query the database really easy.
and it's FREE to boot!!
I really like EMS's tools: http://www.sqlmanager.net/
They have for various RDBMSs, but they might be too complex for your intended use case.
You really need to state your platform and actual intended use (for instance, why is Django admin unacceptable?)
You can take a look at squirrel-sql.

I'm a novice mturk user. I created HITs for crowdsourcing using external question hosted on a server. I wanted to know if there is a web interface where I can see progress of my HITs. I tried looking at the https://requester.mturk.com/manage and https://requestersandbox.mturk.com/manage. But I cannot see the HITs programatically created using boto3. Should I look somewhere else? If not what's the way to get this information?
I share your pain right now. As of June 2020, this situation hasn't changed. HITs that are NOT created through the MTurk web interface STILL do not display on the web interface. It's terrible. We have 3 options for seeing and managing the HITs:
Use scripting and boto3. <-- Best option for now.
Use the AWS CLI.
Use the AWS shell (aws-shell).
I think the best option is to make scripts that do exactly what you need. Chances are you'll need to do things more efficiently than you could using the AWS CLI only. aws-shell isn't easy enough to use, and it also looks unsupported for over a year at this point (judging by their official github issue tracker).
For what you're asking specifically you'll need to use the method list_hits() and possibly list_assignments_for_hit(). See https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/mturk.html
Also I'm very new to this, so if it sounds like a barely or only sorta know what I'm talking about, that's correct. But I also wished there had been a straightforward answer to this question a couple weeks ago when I was sitting here dumbfounded.
I'd like to ask is it smart enough to ship a web service/product without creating any CMS?
I mean in order to ship it faster and get some feedback from users it will be smart from my point of view to ship it w/out CMS and build it as you go but Im afraid from technical point of view - would it create any big problem that would be painful to solve?
Tnx.
Well, it depends on what you expect from the website. Should it be only a one-time web presentation, I think it might be okay to ship it without a CMS. I would also consider it fine if you didn't want to run a database for whatever reason (as most of the CMSs use database).
If the product is meant to be more complicated, it's definitely easier to start with CMS than to hack it in the product later.
However, if you decided for the latter way, you might find CouchCMS interesting. Though I haven't tested it myself, it looks very promising and easy to inject into an existing website.
I am trying to create a complete session managment in nodejs for logins, chat sessions etc.
I googled a lot and every solution that i got was with some framework/module. I don't want to use any module/framework. I would rather like to build my own solution for this:
So this is the plan:
I will set a session cookie on the client machine (yet to figure out how)
For each cookie, i will be maintaining a unique id in the database instead of files as is the case with php (i am using mongodb)
When a user opens the application, a cookie will be set, a entry will be made in database and corresponding information from the db will be fetched.
I am yet to lay a concrete plan for this. I wanted to know whether doing it this way is a good idea? i read somewhere....'Real men don't use any framework. They make everything on their own' :P
Please correct me if i am on a wrong direction. M just starting with these things....
I'm not aware of any node.js frameworks that are closed-source. Just pick one that seems to do what you want to do, download it, and study the source code to see how the developer implemented it. Then come up with your (perceived) improvement on how they did it. You'll probably find that implementing session management involves a whole bunch of nitpicky details that were never obvious to you.
Ignore all the above advice if this is a school assignment where you're not allowed to look at related code. If that's the case, I pity you because you have an incompetent teacher.
I'm currently running a website that I would like to make more unique by adding some sort of web application. It might be as simple as interactive layers used to do a "Create Your Own ..." sort of thing, or it might be more complicated, like a minor game.
Basically, I'm rather inexperienced with coding, and would need a working framework with instructions for making a basic application like this work.
If you have an idea for something like this, I'd love to know. Otherwise, you might be able to direct me to a website that could show me how to create such an application.
Thanks!
if you want to add some games to your site without coding, search for some opensource webgames and use it. what you need is a search engine, :) Stack Overflow is a programming Q & A site.
I'm looking to implement my own bug tracking database. Could somebody point me to the database table layout diagrams of any of the many tracking databases already in existance. I've come up with most of my requirements, and its simple for the most part, but I want to get an idea of what other people thought was important and how exactly they accomplished certain objectives.
FogBugz has the ability to let you export your bug database in a MySQL or SQL Server format. You could then look at the export and see how the data is structured.
I'm sure there will be missing tables that are built in to the app, but this will give you a starting point.
The other option would be to simply go look at the code for the numerous OSS bug tracking options out there and see how they do it. Trac and Bugzilla would be a good place to start.
(hell, simply installing either of those and looking at the DB structure with something like PHPMyAdmin would probably take all of an hour and should give you a great place to start)
