What type of database is used in mendix? - mendix

Mendix is a low code development platform. I want to know which type of relational database does it uses?

If you are in the Mendix cloud then you will currently be using postgres 13.
Here are a list of supported databases.
These can be used when you deploy on premise.
Also check out the Mendix forum and community slack if you have anymore questions.
Mendix Forum: https://forum.mendix.com
Mendix Community Slack: https://join.slack.com/t/mendixcommunity/shared_invite/zt-hwhwkcxu-~59ywyjqHlUHXmrw5heqpQ

Mendix studio pro uses HSQL by default as database, if you are using Mendix cloud, then it uses Postgres.

What is the correct way to access Microsoft Dynamics 365 data on the cloud? SDK vs Web Api

I'm .NET Web Developer and new to Microsoft's CRM, so bear with me. I'm trying to find the correct way to connect to Microsoft Dynamics 365 and retrieve some PDF files. I need to know which is the correct way to do so. I have some questions of some topics found Googling around that don't make sense to me.
Accessing through the SDK
I have found this Microsoft documentation which explains the SDK. However there is a NOTE that says that this has changed with the 2016 update, and Googling more around, it seems to be that the SDK it's not used anymore. I am wrong?
Accessing data using Web API
There's yet another Microsoft documentation that tries to explain the way to connect through a Web Api, however from the start, it says: "This section contains reference documentation of the types, functions, and actions that constitute the Web API for Microsoft Dataverse and Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises)".
That "On-Premises" comment bothers me. I don't want to learn something that doesn't work for me. Why the web api seems to work only on premise? Why not Dynamics in the cloud?
And for what you can see, I'm utterly confused as to how in the world I can access data to retrieve a file programmatically through C# code from Microsoft Dynamics 365 cloud based.
Please, if you can point me in the right direction, I will really appreciate it.
Thank you!
If your language is C# you can use the SDK provided by Microsoft, it works with the Online (cloud) version.
If you are using .NET Framework you can use this NuGet package:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.CrmSdk.XrmTooling.CoreAssembly/
If you are using .NET Core/.NET 5.0+ you can use this NuGet package (but in public preview):
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.PowerPlatform.Dataverse.Client/
Some details about these packages here: https://www.crmanswers.net/2021/05/microsoftpowerplatformdataverseclient.html
Adding to Guido's excellent information here are a few more considerations:
Plugins and custom workflows are custom .NET assemblies where you would use the SDK. They currently only support the full .NET Framework.
To call into the system from a JavaScript library on a form (a.k.a. Client-side scripting), you'd use the WebAPI.
For console apps, web apps, and other external code, you can choose between the SDK and WebAPI. (And as Guido points out, the .NET Core version of the SDK is in preview).
When using the SDK there are two possible coding approaches: Early Bound and Late Bound.
With early bound, you generate proxy classes for DataVerse tables. The classes have properties for each column/attribute, which enables intellisense.
With late bound, you use the string names of tables and attributes.
This article has more info.
Tools for generating early bound classes include Microsoft's CrmSvcUtil.exe, Daryl LaBar's Early Bound Generator in the XrmToolbox,
and the commercial Visual Studio add-on for DataVerse XrmToolkit.
If you're going the WebAPI route, David Yack's API Helper might interest you.

What use as Database for developing asp.net vNext + Entity Framework 7 on OSX

I'm trying to set up my environment for developing asp.net vNext + Entity Framework 7 on my OSX.
Apparently, there is no provider for MySQL neither PostgreSQL yet. Thus, what can be used as database for developing on OSX?
What you folks have been doing for develop asp.net vNext on OSX? Or should I set up a Windows VM?
Any suggestion?
I've got even an open issue on Github on this topic.
Cheers
We will have a PostgreSQL and/or MySQL provider for EF7 (either delivered by our team or we'll work with a provider writer to help them build it). Work hasn't started on them yet though.
We haven't been focusing on EF7 on Mono at this stage, so there are likely some rough edges. We do have some folks who have successfully used it to connect to a remote SQL Server though.
To date, no RDBMS is supported on OSX for EF7.
Since (LocalDB)\v11.0 doesn't allow remote access and run on OSX/LNX, I've setup a SQLServer2012 Express and SQLServer 2012 Standard Edition hosted on a local Windows VM to establish a remote DB connection from my Visual Studio Code project.
From Visual Studio Code running on OSX, EF7 fails to successfully connect and interact with those local SQL Servers. In this instance, I was using the ASP.NET 5 Music Store example project: GitHub Source
Oh, and with all the SSL requirements, AZURE SQL Server is out of the question as an option.
Microsoft is heading in the right direction, we'll get there, but you're dealing with bleeding edge EF7 at the moment which is a complete reengineering from EF6.

Alfresco 4.2 CE with MS SQL server 2012

I've been asked to use install alfresco 4.2 community edition with database MS SQL server 2012 for evaluation and I'm a newbie in using it. I'm having a hard time in doing configurations to make it work. I know MS SQL server 2012 is only supported in alfresco enterprise edition but I've read some forums and some of them made it work with sql server 2012 by tweaking some scripts but I don't have any idea what scripts or how to do it.
I just want to know if it is really possible to do it and if yes, could you please give me some detailed steps how to do it.
thanks in advance.
As far as I know there is no ready-to-install extension to add MS SQLServer support to Alfresco Community 4.2.x.
If you don't want to buy the Enterprise version then you'll have to add all necessary code like myBatis ORM files in your own.
It's not impossible but it's gonna be a hard task...
If SQL Server is a requirement, I recommend evaluating this trial using Alfresco Enterprise so that you're not modifying or introducing other issues that may present Alfresco negatively. (sorry I would have posted this as a comment, but I dont have enough rep-points).

Can the Neo4j Enterprise Edition Run on Heroku?

There's really not much more to this question than the title, but I can't seem to find this answer anywhere.
I'm primarily interested in the backup capability of the Enterprise Edition and whether that is accessible when Neo4j is running on Heroku.
The Neo4j Heroku Add On (https://addons.heroku.com/neo4j) is managed by the Neo4j team. This is a developer instance, and it is currently free.
Production instances will be released in upcoming weeks, when Neo4j version 1.8 GA is released.
