I am running Neo4j locally and VB.NET coded software. Right now I have to open the database with Neo4j community in advance of running the software. I'd like to be able to open the database from within the .NET code, like I can with other databases (MS SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, etc.). I cannot find any documentation on how to do this with Neo4j. Of course, I'd also like to check its status and close it from code too.
Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

Hi there and many thanks in advance, Im veeery newby.
I am building a small visual basic 2010 application and I need a better choice for my database (around 20 tables), since now Im using SQL server express 2008 and as far as I understand it is too big and complicated for me (just installing it was a pain for me)
I am looking for an application that will be easy to distribute (maybe just an installer and thats it!) and that can run without problems on old computers with windows xp.
The last thing is that I want to have to chance to install just a client version of my app on a computer and tell it to connect to the database wich will be running on other computer on the same LAN (or maybe on a web server on the future!).
In other words I would like to have the option of selecting "where" is the database to read/write on.
I will thank advices for this implemtation and will respond if somebody needs more details before answering.
Well installing sqlserver in not rocketscience al you need to execute .exe .
Though if you looking for opensource database then have a look at mongodb
MySql is open source and quite easy to use, especially with a tool like PHP MyAdmin:
http://www.mysql.com/
I've been looking all over the web for a ColdFusion-based SQL administration tool for Microsoft Access and I can't find one that's simple, free and allows running SQL statements. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the recommends, guys, I'll try SQLSurfer. (MSSSME won't work for me.)
"DISCLAIMER: Using MS Access in a (web based) production environment is not recommended."
I understand that, and part of my timeline for this website is to migrate the database to MySQL on our server.
My primary interest in this is to be able to fool around with SQL commands LOCALLY so I can modify some tables. I wouldn't use this in a production environment anyway, especially not one that already has MySQL admin (Don't worry, I have plenty of backups in case I screw something up).
DISCLAIMER: Using MS Access in a (web based) production environment is not recommended.
That said, I have to admit that there are projects, customers, etc. where you can't get around having to deal with MS Access Databases the one or other way.
There is an Open Source project on RIAForge, called SQLSurfer which is a web-based ad-hoc query tool powered by ColdFusion. It is a simple way to execute SQL statements on your database (not restricted to MS Access). http://sqlsurfer.riaforge.org/ Actually there is no download link, but you can still get the code from SVN repo. http://svn.riaforge.org/sqlsurfer/
I have been working with an earlier version for a long time and I find it useful for executing prepared SQL statements. It is a very dangerous tool, especially in production, so I'd strictly recommend to include it in a password protected administration environment and deny public access.
Can RDS satisfy your needs? works with CFEclipse / CFBuilder.
Take a look at SQL Server Management Studio Express - though I've not used it with MS Access, so can't guarantee it'll work.
Hopefully someone more experienced with the two can come along and give more details.
You can easily make one your self.
On Adobe's website you can find at least 5 of those tutorials Here's one http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/f4cf_firstapp_part1.html which uses Apache Derby, similar to MS Access.
Of course you need to think some things through, like authentication, making some field for writting SQL statement which is going to be sent as cfquery, but it should be a nice experience to make you'r own "phpMyAdmin" ;)
For MySQL there is CFMyAdmin.com. It might connect or could be adapted to tonnect to MS Access as well. I agree with Henry though, I'd set up the DSN for your access database, the RDS conection in CFBuilder and then use the query tool.
Other alternatives might be Lita (Mac based), or a FireFox add on like Sqlite Manager. They may surprise you as to what they can open.
Also, Charlie Arehart has a long list of CF based SQL Query tools. Maybe one of them could help: http://www.carehart.org/cf411/#query
Good luck
I've been spoiled by ActiveRecords. So I'm on the lookout for migration system that can be applied to SQL Server, and either is executed as Java application, or a Win32 Executable. (Of course further compatibility with other DB's and host OS's is welcome.)
The real desire is having a clear schema change application with roll back, ideally in something nicer then SQL so it can be DB system agnostic.
The hitch I've found for alternatives that are Java based, is lack of clean support for the Microsoft JDBC.
Looking forward to any suggestions.

I tried Tarantino and it worked OK, but you're still locked to sql scripts for sql server.

Try Mite. I wrote it and have been using it for years successfully.
https://github.com/soitgoes/mite
If you turn on "Auto Generate Change Scripts" then Sql Management Studio will generate the sql that you can save into your mite file. No more writing migrations just let Management Studio do it for you! Then if you ever need to custom craft something to alter data you can simply do that in sql and save it to a migration.
Let me know what you think.
Currently I have a custom tool which generates vanilla-SQL (only using standard SQL), from our Data-models that sets up database schemas and initial data for our new databases, and do version patches, etc... This part is all fine and dandy right now.
However running these SQL scripts against all the different databases (different vendors) is a pain, so I wrote up a quick little Php script a while back that does it for me, but I was wondering if there is any better solution to this problem?
Thanks
I use SQL Developer, it's really cool.
It runs in any plataform (is a Java application), you could connect to any database vendor and it's free.
I use Squirrel, like SQL Developer it is a java application which is free.

SQuirreL SQL Client is a graphical

i wonder if there is something similar to Sql Profiler for Sql Server Compact Edition?
i use SqlCE as backend for a desktop application and it would be really great to have something like sql profiler for this embedded database.
or at least something simliar to the NHibernate show_sql feature...
any ideas?
thanks

The only tested solution I know of that could solve this problem is Altiris Profiler which is a tool I designed at my previous job, but is closed source and not-for-sale.
The way you would hook it in, is by creating a factory for your commands and proxing them for profiling purposes before using them (using RealProxy). Its really light weight and about 10 lines of code to implement.
On my question Flory talks about a new tool called dynaTrace that may also be able to solve this problem as well.
I don't think that would work - CE seems like a totally different beast.
You can enable some logging that might help you:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171949(SQL.90).aspx
I tried to do this and managed to set the database up and connect from SSMS - you have to specify the alternate connection type of 'SQL Server Compact Edition'. Profiler has no such thing - and entering a path to the datafile for the 'database' field did nothing.
Try to install a Standard version (with the profiler) and you might be able to connect to the CE instance also.
I think that its possible that it could be done using the Default Profiler Trace Template (from Visual Studio 2008). I talk about using the template for a non-CE version of SQL in my weblog at: http://codingathome.blogspot.com/2009/04/create-sql-trace-and-read-it-using-sql.html .
Its possible that template would work for the CE version of SQL. I haven't tried it. Your milage might vary. I know that SQL CE doesn't support stored procedures so chances are this wont work. You might have to setup debugging in your code in order to trace queries.
Since CE doesn't support a stored procedure I bet you can still run the script as a .sql script and get the tracing events installed. Its worth a try.
