Questions concerning problems with code you've written must describe the specific problem — and include valid code to reproduce it — in the question itself. See SSCCE.org for guidance.

We are currently building a SQL project that will be searching through a list of baby names. The current search function on our blog (http://www.BabyNamesLog.com) is a simple Wordpress search function and would like to have something more advanced going fwd.
What I would like to do is to return results on a query that would search similar baby names for boys and girls.
For example, if you search for "Nick" you would get results like "Nicolas".
Do you happen to know any databases (preferably public) for this type of task to populate a relationship between nicknames and names?
Thanks in advance guys!
Which database server are you using?
Some have an implementation of the soundex algorithm that you might be able to leverage. Consult http://databases.about.com/od/development/l/aasoundex.htm
An alternate algorithm is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_Rating_Approach
If you absolutely had to, you could add encodings from these algorithms to your database and use them for queries.

I am looking for a GUI tool on Mac which allows users to browse contents of a relatively simple SQL database (only 2-3 tables) and which allows them to print selected records in a specific layout on labels.
This database ran previously on MsAccess and we would like to have it as SQL. However, non IT-professionals should easily be able to print those labels.
If anybody knows a tool for this (except filemaker), please let me know.
Thanks a lot,
Philipp
I would suggest OpenOffice for a "mailmerge" like label printing.
If You need a more robust "report" oriented solution You can take a look at jasper reports and ireport both have release for OSx.

I am looking for information on how to implement the sixth normal form. I have searched everywhere online without success. I would like to see an example how how is implemented and designed. It would especially help if there are any books or documentation on how to implement it.
Since you've searched everywhere, you've probably searched dba.stackexchange.com too... But if you did not, see 6th normal form, Recomposition query, efficient implementation.
They refer to chapter 7 of An Introduction to Relational Database Theory (4th Ed.) by Hugh Darwen.

I've been dealing with ebooks lately, and found it quite hard to quickly find conversion scripts to and from the numerous formats available (EPUB, lrf, html, txt, rtf, markdown, and so on).
I thought it might be nice to have one post here with one formats pair and one corresponding tool (eg. Markdown -> Pdf, markdown2pdf) per answer. This should give everyone a neat way to rate the various tools based on their experience, and I think that such a list could be handy for many people.
Hope you like the idea!
I think this might work for you: http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/cli/ebook-convert.html

I find the need to send SQL statements by email often and I was wondering if anyone had a tool that would color code the Oracle Reserved Words, Keywords, and Namespaces so that when the code is copied from the tool into say Lotus notes it would appear in the email as it does in the tool.
try this
Instant SQL Formatter
you must select the option
Output -> SQL (HTML:font)
Bye
SQLinForm - No download necessary. It uses a Java applet. Feature rich. That’s the one I like.
An alternative is to use Pastebin , encrypt it and send the pastebin link.

I read this book:
Head First Object-Oriented Analysis and Design
Now i am looking forward to find a Software that make it easy to collect all my Ideas etc (specific Software for OOA).
At the moment i am using my Whiteboard to collect/design Ideas etc. Afterwards i am taking pictures of it and add text to our Wiki/Trac.
At school, we're using Objecteering, which is easy to use, integrated to Eclipse, but not free.
IMO blank paper is a must, but not always the easier to share and to edit.
Install mediawiki (the stuff that powers wikipedia, don't settle for anything less you will need the full feature set eventually) and put all your ideas in there. This makes it easy to refine them and to improve then as time goes by.
