For IMDB, I am interested in only retrieving ID. If they are not providing ID in their database, this database might not be useful to me. Please tell me if they provide ID in their data.
I know for sure that the imdbIDs are not provided in the plain text data files or in any other downloadable format (not for free, at least).
Being the author of IMDbPY, I'm pretty sure of this.
Instead of using the data files, you could use http://imdbapi.org/, which does supply the ID.

I am trying to create an Age Analysis for Creditors using a dynamic date slicer.
I followed each individual step specified on David Churchward's Blog, but I'm not able to replicate what he suggested there.
Herewith is the result of what I tried:
I'm expecting to see these values each in their own Ageing bucket based on what is outstanding.
Please download my PBIX file to see for yourself, then please advise what I did wrong.
The Excel source for PBIX is also in the folder.
Thank you.
The blog that you're referring is quite old and DAX has changed a lot since then.
Additionally PowerBI now has a in-built feature called binning which can do something similar to what you're looking for.
I was able to generate the below output using that feature which automatically groups the data based on the bin size.
There also a related feature called "Grouping" where you can manually choose the groups and their range. If you're up for it you can use this too. Below is the output for that:
I uploaded the file with these changes in the same folder.

I have a simple query regarding the Wikimedia/Wikipedia API.
I have to fetch the changes made from a list of "revids". I am able to fetch the XML content for a batch of "revids", but I failed to extract only the changed text.
Does API provide any way to extract only the changed sentences? If not any external script/module that can do this job?
Query to fetch the revision details: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info|revisions&rvprop=user|userid|ids|tags|comment|content&format=jsonfm&revids=1228415
I would appreciate any suggestions/solutions that could solve this issue!
(Currently, I am using the Wikitools python module to make the queries)
You can get the diff between the old and new text with action=compare, but it segments text by wikitext lines, not sentences, isn't meant to be machine-readable, and is generally not that helpful. Since you are using Python, the client-side library deltas will probably work better for you.
I want to get a report of all user names and User IDs. I got the User names but see the UserIDs are in encrypted format. Please help me on How to decrypt the objid in the Content store table CMOBJPROPS1 or any other way to achieve this?
There's no report you can run or any way that you can do this from within Cognos, sorry about that.
BUT there's this nifty tool which IBM offers as is, and it does probably exactly what you're looking for: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24034217
You can even export the data if you do want to report off it.
PS: Don't report off the Content Store, it's not a good idea. If you did want to see usernames you could look at cmobjprops33 I guess. Just use the tool, it's better all around.
So I am looking at creating a very small app for the town I live in, I would like to offer people the ability to log into a website and create a business listing that would have things like (name, address, phone, opening hrs, logo -image).
I have limited knowledge in sql and creating Databases but am able to with abit of reading and time.. However I would like to know the best approach for storing images.
I am planning on just uploading the image to the webspace and then having a URL link stored in the DB... But not really sure if this is the best option?
So my question first of all, is this the best way to go about it? secondly how could I achieve this?
You've got everything right.
Yes, go for the plain table in the database, contains all the required fields.
Upon inserting another company data, get the autoincremented id, extract logo's filename extension and move uploaded file into a file called "$id.$ext" and you're all set.
How to achieve it - just try some online manuals.
There are plenty on working with database, while handling files is better to learn from the man page http://php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.post-method.php
I'm working on an iOS app that creates "location sets" where each row contains a location name and a GeoPoint, and each set has its own name. Each of these sets are stored in an object inside our program (all belonging to the same class). Now we want to give users the capability to create sets and upload them to a database, allowing other users to access and download them to their device.
I've been looking in to back-end solutions for work like this, but pretty much everything I've found so far focuses on relational databases and adding and deleting rows and using SQL-like language to retrieve them. Is there a way to store these objects just as objects (and not unpack the info inside to tables), and then retrieve them? It feels like that would be a much simpler way of going about this.
I'm an absolute beginner when it comes to databases, so forgive me if there's info missing here that you would need to help me out. I'll make sure to keep checking back in case someone asks for more info.
Thanks!
Coredata might be useful for you as its based upon the entity. So you can play multiple things around it by using queries (predicates).
But if you just want to save and retrieve back, then as a simplest solution I would suggest to create array/dictionary with entity data, save that into NSUserDefaults so you can retrieve back same while re-launching the app.

Hope these links would be helpful for you.
I ended up using Parse's mobile back-end service. That was the type of service I was looking for. I've found other similar services since then, like Applilcasa and StackMob, but we're pretty happy with Parse so far.
