I am developing a desktop application but would like users to be able to log in to my website to view reports generated from their data which is stored in a local PostgreSQL database. I am trying to figure out my options and if it is going to be possible to do this. It seems it would be a security risk/too much effort on the users end to open up their firewall ports in order to access their database from the internet. Another option is to create a 'reports' database on my website that my application could periodically update vital stats to which could then be used to create reports. I also could just create a .pdf in the application and upload that to the website to be viewed. This might be the easiest route. Are there any better/easier options?
Based on the solutions you have presented, the second solution seems sound.
A rough plan would be to:
Have a feature in your webpage that Calls for the application in your server to generate the .pdf file
Upload the Pdf to your webpage
finally, send the file to the user for download.

I need to create a database to keep track of our material inventory in FileMaker Pro or MS Access. My manager would like to be able to set assignments/send individual request to the employees through the database (database notifications or emails), like to request someone to take 5 units of the material and update the database according, a user would get an email from FileMaker Pro or Access with this request. I know it sounds like we need a Project Management software, but is it possible to create such feature in FileMaker Pro or Access? How?
I can only speak for FileMaker, and this is indeed possible, even easy to do.
FileMaker can send emails either through the user’s email client or directly through a smtp server. A simple script would accomplish this.

I'm very eager to know how to automate agile rally without accessibg it from web site. Do we have any table or data bases for rally? Like Quality center (QC) . Can I automate it through VBA ? Do we have any connection string or libraries to make the automation feasible?
There's a great Web Services API on top of Agile Central for doing these sorts of things, but not direct DB access. There are toolkits for accessing them in a bunch of different languages- java, .net, node, etc.
https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/doc/webservice/
There is also an Excel Add-In which you could then manipulate with VBA if that's more of your thing...
Yep there's loads of info out there, what is it you need to do.. I do most of my updating via the command line there are a few aps worth looking into with npm just run a search on rally. If you need integration with git or Jenkins for example take a look at the Agile central connectors.. The QC con is here.. Let us know how you get on..

I have a series of fairly simple SQL update commands that are used to update order owners in one of our databases. i.e.
UPDATE POHEAD
SET BYRUSR_ID = upper('J123456')
WHERE BYRUSR_ID = upper('J654321')
AND po_st IN (1, 4, 5, 6, 10,11);
COMMIT;
I want to enable our business users to make the changes, and thought that the best solution would be to create an application file that takes the parameters (olduser, newuser) and when the user clicks OK, the file opens a connection to the database (oracle) to make the updates.
While investigating I found a number of guides for creating exe files with .net but none that used SQL or asked for parameters. I haven't used .net before, so don't know where to start.
Using a PHP webform was considered but is not feasible.
Appreciate any help you can provide.
It's a rather vague question so I hope that this is what you need:
Usually, the best way to build a standalone-application which connects to SQL is via PHP. If you know a tiny bit of HTML, you can even create an HTML page in which your users can enter data and click on a button and the PHP script in the back-end will connect to the SQL-database and return the results on the next page.
Here a link for the beginning:

There are also alternatives to connecting PHP with SQL (SparkSQL, Hadoop, ...) but I think that this is the simplest way of creating such an app.

I need to use a server for portions of my app. Since I'm using Express for this what is the benefit for using Cloud Code for aspects of my app that could be hosted on the server or in Parse Cloud Code?
You can use both the server and cloud code for custom functions but each have there own purpose.
Cloud Code (the main.js file) is really more so for having custom API endpoints that have logic when they are called. Like changing one field for table changes another field.
The server part (all of the other files) is really for just hosing a website that uses express stuff and renders all your web pages using "ejs" or "jade".
I'm a bit new to parse but I hope this answers your question.
Using Cloud Code for our mobile app is very useful now days.
there are following things that must know about Cloud Code
1.If your app is large then the code can be save on cloud so that our app take less time to load

I'm building a website with lots of images and want to stop bots from accessing those images. So I'm looking something beyond cookies since bots can handle cookies. My idea is that all authentication should reside purely on the server side. Any ideas?
Someone suggested a website, that makes a user visit a thumbnail page first. Somehow visiting that page triggers a server side variable, which allows the main image to be displayed later. How can that be implemented.

That will stop some bots from spidering images on your site.
Also look into a .httaccess file
