The db password expired and it needs to be updated, how do I update the password for a Cognos Data Source?

Clicking on the Data Source name will bring give you the Connection for that Data Source (the Connection might have the same name as the Data Source).

Azure SQL: Modify table data via UI instead of writing SQL query

Is there a way I can modify the table data in an Azure SQL database via some sort of UI (like Excel) instead of having to write SQL queries? Preferably I can modify it online in the Azure Portal instead of having to install some third-party software.
Often times, I just want to edit a specific cell in the table and I feel it would be way easier if I could just double click on that specific cell to edit it instead of having to write a SQL query.
Right now, I am only able to edit data by writing queries, but I can't actually edit the data in the table by double-clicking (the red box highlighted is uneditable).
You can edit row on double click. On Azure portal follow these steps.
Go to Azure Sql database.
Left side menu blade select Query Editor
Connect to database. and under Tables folder click table three dot. popup small window open, select Edit Data(Preview).
select Preview terms check box, then click ok.
Double click on row , edit row enable.
Change on FirstName from Punit to Sunit. Click top menu Save button and its save record to database.
Final result.

Talend - Retrieve SAP Table window doesn't open

I have been retrieving SAP tables okay but am now having a problem. We have a SAP connection set up and when i right-click and choose "Retrieve SAP table", a lock appears against the SAP connection, the list of tables expands and then contracts and nothing else happens. If I choose one of the other options such as "Retrieve Business Content Extractor" the window opens up ok as normal.
Has anyone else had this issue? I wasn't sure if the window is opening up minimised somewhere but if it is I can't locate it.

Export SQL Data to Excel Dropdown

Is it possible to export records from SQL directly to a drop down data validation list?
I want to export data directly to the list without having to actually have the data saved within a sheet/table etc.
Step 1: Add a query data connection
If you do not have an existing query data connection that you can use on your form template, follow these steps to add a secondary data connection to your form template that queries data. If your form template already has a secondary data connection that you can use, you can skip this section and go to Step 2: Configure the control.
On the Tools menu, click Data Connections.
In the Data Connections dialog box, click Add.
In the Data Connection Wizard, click Create a new connection to, click Receive data, and then click Next.
On the next page of the wizard, click Database (Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft Office Access only), and then click Next.
On the next page of the wizard, click Select Database.
In the Select Data Source dialog box, click New Source.
On the next page of the wizard, in the What kind of data source do you want to connect to list, click Microsoft SQL Server and then click Next.
In the Server name box, type the name of the server that contains the SQL Server database.
Under Log on credentials, do one of the following:
If the database determines who has access based on the credentials used in a Microsoft Windows network, click Use Windows Authentication.
If the database determines who has access based on a specified user name and password that you get from the database administrator, click Use the following User Name and Password, and then type your user name and password in the User Name and Password boxes.
Click Next.
In the Select the database that contains the data you want list, click the name of the database that you want to use, click Connect to a specific table, click the name of the primary table, and then click Next.
On the next page of the wizard, in the File Name box, type a name for the file that stores the data connection information, and then click Finish to save these settings.
If you plan to use other tables in the query data connection, you can add the other tables in this page of the wizard.
Add other tables
Click Add Table.
In the Add Table or Query dialog box, click the name of the child table, and then click Next. InfoPath attempts to set the relationships by matching field names in both tables. If you do not want to use the suggested relationship, select the relationship, and then click Remove Relationship. To add a relationship, click Add Relationship. In the Add Relationship dialog box, click the name of each related field in the respective column, and then click OK.
Click Finish.
To add additional child tables, repeat these steps.
Click Next.
To store the results of the query with the form template, select the Store a copy of the data in the form template check box. Selecting this check box stores the query results in the form template. Becuase the data is stored in the form template. the data is available in the forms that users fill out, even if their computers are not connected to a network.
Security Note: Selecting this check box stores the query results in the form template. Because the data is stored in the form template, it is available in the forms that users fill out, even if their computers are not connected to a network. If you are getting sensitive data from this data connection, you may want to disable this feature to help protect the data in case the computer is lost or stolen.
Click Next.
On the next page of the wizard, type a descriptive name for this secondary data connection. If you want the form to automatically receive data when the form is opened, select the Automatically retrieve data when form is opened check box.
Step 2: Configure the control
If the form template has multiple views, click View name on the View menu to go to the view with the control where you want to display the data from the secondary data source.
Double-click the list box, drop-down list box, or combo box control that you want to populate.
Click the Data tab.
Under List box entries, click Look up values from an external data source.
In the Data Source list, click the data source that you want to use.
Click Select XPath Data Source button next to the Entries box.
In the Select a Field or Group dialog box, specify what data will be shown to the user and what data will be submitted to the external data source by doing one of the following.
Specify that the data the user will see is the same data the user will submit
Click a field, and then click OK.
Specify that the data the user will see is different from the data that the user will submit
Note: In this scenario, the data that the user will see is from one of the fields in the group, and the data that the user will submit is in another field in the same group.
Click a group, and then click OK.
In the Control Properties dialog box, click Select XPath Data Source button next to the Value box.
In the Select a Field or Group dialog box, click a field that contains the data that the user will submit to the external data source, and then click OK.
In the Control Properties dialog box, click Select XPath Data Source button next to the Display name box.
In the Select a Field or Group dialog box, click a field that contains the data that will appear in the control, and then click OK.
If the field in the Display name box has values with similar display names, and you want to display only unique names, select the Show only entries with unique display names check box.
