I need to create an database like using android SqliteOpenHelper Database creation over Titanium development. How to create and run db on runtime.
This is extremely well documented, did you not check the docs / google it first?
Here is the long but very good tutorial by Appcelerator : Appcelerator DB Guide
Here is a video tutorial on local data by Appcelerator, if you dont like to read. Titanium Local Storage
Here is a shorter tutorial on a blog: Labrum.co Tutorial
And here is the actual documentation which is more than adequate to get started : Titanium.Database
Finally, here is a common misconception about databases in the form of a Q&A session. Q&A

I am using RASA to create chat bot. I want to store the chat history as .txt file in local file system. I found that RASA support chat history storage for Mongo DB, Redis and SQL. However i want to store the chat history in local file system. Any help would be highly appreciated.
This is currently not supported out of the box by Rasa. You could however implement your own custom tracker store.
I would actually recommend to use the SQLTrackerStore with sqlite. SQLite is also file based, which means you don't have to run anything in the background, but would probably be faster and less implementation effort than implementing your own tracker store. Note that the SQLTrackerStore is only supported since Rasa 1.0.
I have an app which uses Parse and I want to migrate it to Firebase. I was extended the parse installation objects to send customized push notifications. I'm wondering if I can migrate these parse installation objects to Firebase and use it from Firebase.
There is no cookie cutter click-though way to import an app that uses Parse.com into Firebase. The products are too different for that.
There are however migration guides for developers looking to migrate their iOS and Android apps on the Firebase site: https://firebase.google.com/support/guides/#migrating_from_parse
There is also a repo with parse-migration-tools from Firebase: https://github.com/firebase/parse-migration-tools
Finally have a look at this question, where experienced developers chimed in already: How to migrate data from Parse.com to Firebase
[Disclaimer: Former lead of Parse Push. Author of parse-migration-tools]
I'm a bit nervous that you're out of luck if you're referring to "installation Ids". Firebase supports iOS and Android. Android devices aren't going to be easy to port for a few reasons, though iOS can be done without too much work. Let's break it down by the push backend:
Most people who talk about "installation Ids" are talking about Parse's self-hosted push network (PPNS or Parse Push Notification Service). This is hosted at push.parse.com and will go away in January. There's nothing anyone can do to keep those devices connected. As an FYI you'll also realy want to update your apps to disable PPNS because it will likely drain your customers' battery when they have a background service repeatedly trying to connect to a URI that isn't going to exist anymore.
If you're using GCM directly, you're still out of luck actually. Parse uses a version of GCM that's too old to work with Firebase. I tried to help fix it, but we weren't able to upgrade to GCM v4 and keep the Parse design style. The new Firebase SDK makes it possible to fix the issue and keep the Parse design requirements, but I'm far too overextended to build this right now. If someone wants to grab a shovel, I'd be glad to explain the right design.
iOS will actually work. I intended to make this turnkey in parse-migration-tools but won't have time until the end of the year. Firebase Cloud Messaging has a batchImport API for importing iOS tokens. I also wrote support for batchImport in parse-migration-tools to help you import your devices (and other data) faster. If I were migrating Parse Push from iOS, I would personally write a migration and bulkImport function that used batchImport to create GCM tokens and subscribed Parse Channels as FCM topics (note the batchAdd method; it may help you more efficiently do your initial import).
This should do the trick:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/ios/client#import_existing_user_apns_tokens
You can just importat all of the existing users device id's and FireBase will generate unique id's for them.
I'm a hobby developer that use Parse.com as my database and website host, as Facebook is going to shutdown Parse.com, I'm now looking for alternative Parse server.
I use Parse's Cloud Code Hosting to build Dynamic Web App, and Parse itself to store data collected from the website I've build, with custom Cloud Code to help getting and managing data. I've build a Windows Phone app for myself to manage the data I've collected too.
Is there any alternative server that has my requirement?
Dynamic Website
Database host
Custom Cloud Code (with BeforeSave and AfterSave trigger)
with Windows Phone SDK (or REST API if doesn't have)
Very thank you for helping me!
Try out Hasura.
Hasura (http://www.hasura.io): Hasura is a neat PaaS + BaaS solution. It is now competing with Firebase, Kinvey, Heroku et al. There is a full comparison page here: Compare | Hasura (https://compare.beta.hasura.io) . The difference majorly lies in infra ownership as well as no tech lock-in due to open-source components(like docker, kubernetes,postgres) building the major chunk of the platform. Check it out. There is also an option to explore (https://explore.beta.hasura.io/) Hasura by building your own blog web app and a todo app in under 15 mins.
Hasura should fit in perfectly for your needs.

I'm using Simbla website application development. It doesn't support all of your requirments but it has great UI builder with a backend parse database.
You can try using the parse open source server it has cloud code and you can use a custom database with it.
Since CodenameOne doesn't support "the cloud storage API" any more and the parse.com is going to retire soon as well. Does CodenameOne has any plan to release a new Cloud Storage API or provide suggestions/guidelines to help developers to deal with the parse4cn1 library code, cloud code, database structure and data in parse.com?
That is something you will have to figure out yourself as parse4cn1 was initially contributed by a community member and wasn't developed by Codenameone team.
You can use a simple webservices created in php, python or java, hosted along your content with any ISP.
You may also have a look at amazon aws which is promising, they provide a cloud solution but their SDKs is not yet integrated to Codenameone.
I made the parse4cn1 lib and I'm also wondering what's smartest to do. With the announcement of Parse.com's imminent shutdown, there's been a lot of discussion around alternatives. My feeling is that "the dust is yet to settle" as per what options are best and reliable for the longer term (it would be a pity to migrate to another service only for it to be shut down soon). So I personally plan to wait till sometime in Q2 to do a proper evaluation of the alternatives. Hopefully, there'll be more clarity then.
The option to host one's own Parse server (e.g. on AWS or Heroku) is getting interesting. They recently announced support for push notifications on iOS and Android. If (when?) they open source the Parse.com dashboard code, I think that option would be much more interesting.
At some point in the coming months, I plan to make a parse4cn1 release that exposes an option to set the server path. With that, anyone migrating to the Parse server option should, in principle, be able to continue to use the cn1lib. Of course, for features that are supported by the open source Parse server.
PS: Here are pointers to some of such discussions on Parse alternatives:

I'm using Parse.com SDK services for my Android app.
I've seen that Parse had released their Android SDK as an open source project on Github on this address.
My app is almost finished, and when I'm uploading it to the Play Store, I don't want to be controlled by Parse.com (I mean that I don't want to be blocked someday, or I don't know that), so I want to move my whole database to my own server that hosted on a secure company.
I've checked the open source project on Github and realized that all I need to use it on my own server is to generate an Application ID and a client key.
So I want to ask if someone knows how to generate an Application ID and a client key of Parse to use it on my own server, or that you maybe knows another way of moving it to my server? And one more question: Today I'm using also Facebook SDK with my app. If I will move my database to my own server, will I still be able to use Facebook SDK on my app?
Thanks!
I have write an article about how to migrate parse to a custom server.

There's a massive difference between Parse open-sourcing their SDKs compared to revealing their entire backend architecture and its configuration.
The open-sourced SDKs are essentially wrappers for Parse's REST API along with some convenience functions and logic for natively interpreting the JSON data Parse is transmitting.
At a high level, Parse uses MongoDB for its core database and is entirely hosted using AWS (Amazon Web Services). The entire architecture is highly complex and is not something you could just drag and drop onto your own software stack or hardware backend.
To help give you a better idea of how Parse achieves all of their services, here's an interesting presentation their Dev Ops team gave at an AWS convention. Suffice it to say, hosting the backend services for over 180,000 apps requires a complex infrastructure and that is the "secret sauce" so to speak for Parse and is why Facebook purchased them for over $85 million two years ago.
