I use a software called RentalDesk NX that is built on top of Nexus DB. According to the help manual for Report Designer, I need to code in Object Pascal, but none of the functions I can find referenced online (such as RightStr, StrToDate, or YearOf) seem to work at all.
I've been working on a report for my accounting department and cannot find a good way to do date math. Does anyone have any insight as to what resource may actually be helpful to me?
I have already crossposted to the RentalDesk NX user community.

The RentalDesk NX report engine is based on digital metaphors' report engine see https://www.digital-metaphors.com/
The developers guide may help RBDeveloperGuide.zip or the learning Report Builder part of the web site https://www.digital-metaphors.com/download/learning_reportbuilder.html
As for the actual flavour of object pascal, I believe that it's based on remote objects Pascal script - but the best place to ask is probably the digital metaphors' news group news.digital-metaphors.com.
I don't know if you have a support contract for your copy of RentalDesk NX, but that would be IMHO the quickest route to specific questions e.g RightStr doesn't exist in Pascal script, you use Copy(string, start, end);

I am new to StackOverflow so please do correct me if I need to provide any more information.
I am trying to integrate an anomaly detection into the PostgreSQL database system by plugging into its backend.
I would like to know if there is any place where I can find extensive back-end coding or integration examples. I am looking at papers regarding this topic and, so far, I have found a few which talk about the methods that the queries are classified and used for anomaly detection.
If you do know about any websites which might help me, please do provide links to the sites.
Thanks!!
Look for "hooks" in the PostgreSQL source tree. Studying the source of the auto_explain and pg_stat_statements contrib modules, which track query execution, will show you the way.
The source is its own book: it is well-documented and interspersed with README files that explain the design.

I am looking for a requirements management software, like DOORS, but for free (I need to enter requirements, and generate a specification document, not only follow requirement traceability like reqtify allows you to do)
I searched on the Internet, and I found the nearly perfect sofware : GenSpec. Moreover, GenSpec use templates with standards, like IEEE 830 which is the one I am interested in.
I said "nearly perfect" because the document generation does not work in GenSpec (runtime error). So I tried to subscribe to the google group to ask some assistance, but I think it is an old software which is not supported and updated anymore (for info, I downloaded GenSpec 6.8.40 and I work with Microsoft Office 2016, I think there is a compatibility issue, but it is only an hypothesis)
So I am posting this subject here if someone can :
Either tell me if there is a similar software ?
Or, knows GenSpec and
can perhaps help me with my document generation issue (I could give
more details in this case) ?
Thanks !
Yes, there is a similar SW - ReqView. See the SW Recommendations question at

I am working in a company working primarily in manual testing. Now for a specific project they require me to learn QTP. I will be given training but I don't think it will suffice. I am seeking some books/web links for tutorials and videos. I am novice in QTP, so would prefer books on a beginner's level.
The best learning materials that we found for QTP is its "Help".
So first install QTP on your system. Click on the 'Help' button in toolbar. You will get lots of documents, user guide. You can save these in PDF format also.There are few videos on latest modification in QTP.
If you don't know any keyword, method, statement then write that keyword in QTP Expert View pane or simply select it. Select the keyword and hit 'F1' key from keyword. Help will open in new window for that keyword.
Besides this basic and most powerful source you can visit various forums, blogs, YouTube videos etc. Please find some of them at
http://forum.softwaretestinghelp.com/index.php/topic,4301.msg4112.html#msg4112
There are many more.
Better you start with Guru99 videos.
These are some links that have helped me alright:

Does anybody know if autotrader.com offers an API or something that would help with mass postings of vehicles?
Or does anybody have any idea of what to use to create something like this? I was thinking of maybe a mouse location and click over a browser window type of thing.
AutoTrader provides a bulk upload feature through a file feed process. The file runs through a set of processes to associate it with the proper listing tier (Premium, Feature or Standard) and in addition normalizes the information across vehicle make and models. This process runs several times daily and is being migrated to a near real-time solution for quicker add or updates.
I can find no documentation on it but I've come across this link which seems to provide a json response.

is there any tool that can produce me simple application something like access
but without the need for access or open office to be installed
some thing that will save the data in real stand alone executable file with embedded simple db for non programmers.
I believe Filemaker does what you want. It's not free, however you could always download the trial and see if it fits.
If you are familiar with Access, you should look into compiling it into a standalone app using the Access runtime. Here's a thread on it.
Bear in mind that non-programmers will be quite limited in what they'll be able to accomplish, so calling this "rapid application development" is probably way overstating things.
