Desktop SPARQL client for Jena (TDB)? - client

I'm working on an app that uses Jena for storage (with the TDB backend). I'm looking for something like the equivalent of Squirrel, that lets me see what's being stored, run queries etc. This seems like an obvious thing to need, but my (perhaps badly phrased) google queries aren't turning up anything promising.
Any suggestions, please? I'm on XP. Even a command line tool would be helpful.

Take a look at my Store Manager tool which is part of the dotNetRDF Toolkit which I develop as part of the wider dotNetRDF project I maintain.
It provides a fairly basic GUI through which you can connect to various Triple Stores including TDB provided that you expose your dataset via Joseki/Fuseki. You need to have .Net 3.5 installed to run the apps in the toolkit.
If you don't already expose your TDB dataset via HTTP try using Fuseki as it is ridiculously easy to use and can be run just on your local machine when necessary to make your TDB store available via HTTP for use with my tool e.g.
java -jar fuseki-0.1.0-server.jar --update --loc data /dataset
Please see the Fuseki wiki for more information on running Fuseki and the various options. In the above example Fuseki is run with SPARQL Update enabled (the --update flag), using the TDB dataset located in the directory data (the --loc data argument) and with a base URI of /dataset for the data.
Once running you can use my tool to connect to a Fuseki server by going to File > New Generic Store Manager, selecting the "Fuseki" tab from the dialog that appears, entering the URI http://localhost:3030/dataset/data and then clicking "Connect to Fuseki".

Twinkle is a handy SPARQL client : http://www.ldodds.com/projects/twinkle/
As it happens I'm working on something similar myself, but it still needs a lot of work (check back in a month :) http://hyperdata.org/wiki/Scute

first download jena fusaki from
https://jena.apache.org/download/index.cgi
un-zip the file and copy the "jena-fuseki-1.0.1" to c drive
open cmd
type for accesing the folder
"cd C:\jena-fuseki-1.0.1"
then type
"java -jar fuseki-server.jar --update --loc data /dataset"
at last open a browser and type
"localhost:3030/"
remember you must first declear the enviorment verible(located in system poperties then advance tab)
and edit variable name call "Path" in the "System verible" to
"C:\jena-fuseki-1.0.1"

I also develop a SPARQL client, Open Source in Java Swing: EulerGUI.
In fact it does a lot more, see the manual:
http://eulergui.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/eulergui/trunk/eulergui/html/documentation.html
For the SPARQL feature, better take the EulerGUI minimal build:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/eulergui/files/eulergui/1.11/

Access to Express.js and Prisma console

So im building app based on Express and using Prisma ORM. What i need is to SSH to a server, open up express.js console and create new db entry using prisma. Something similar to python manage.py shell for Django or rails console for Rails. Is there a solution for this of any kind?
Like I pointed in the comment there is a way ( kind of ) to get access to a running express instance. If that's all you need follow:
How can I open a console to interact with Express app?
Express doesn't exactly have a feature like rails console which is a framework feature in that case.
That said, I question the long term implication of this approach. If you really just need to seed some data, write an "init" script, and call it after you ssh into a server or using some CI/CD approach. This is more re-usable, since you can even pass a json file to the script to load dynamic data.
Also, Prismajs has an official way to seed the data ( if that's what you need) that you can leverage:
https://www.prisma.io/docs/guides/database/seed-database
UPDATE:
If you are able to run to code on your machine and point the remote database, then you can use node --inspect to debug in a chrome console. Which should give you about the same effect as a rails REPL

Configuring settings for last paricipant support wsadmin/websphere

Recently i've came to an issue to configure Last Participant Support on deployed application. I've found some old post about that:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/topic?id=77777777-0000-0000-0000-000014090728
On server itself i found how to do it. But with jython or wsadmin commands im not able to find how to do it on application itself.
But it does not help for me. Any ideas?
There is no command assistance available for the action of changing last participant support from the admin console which typically implies there is no scripting command associated the action. And there doesn't appear to be an wsadmin AdminApp command to modify the property. Looking at config repo changes made as a result of the admin console action, the IBM Programming Model Extensions (PME) deployment descriptor file "ibm-application-ext-pme.xmi" for an application is created/modified by the action.
If possible, the best long-term solution would be to use a tool like RAD to generate that extensions file when packaging the application because if you need to redeploy the app, your config changes wouldn't get overridden. If you can't mod the app, you can script the addition of an PME descriptor file in each of the desired apps with the knowledge that redeploying the app will overwrite your changes. The changes can be made by doing something along the lines of:
1) create a text file named ibm-application-ext-pme.xmi with contents similar to this:
<pmeext:PMEApplicationExtension xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:pmeext="http://www.ibm.com/websphere/appserver/schemas/5.0/pmeext.xmi" xmi:id="PMEApplicationExtension_1559836881290">
<lastParticipantSupportExtension xmi:id="LastParticipantSupportExtension_1559836881292" acceptHeuristicHazard="false"/>
</pmeext:PMEApplicationExtension>
2) in wsadmin or your jython script do the following (note in this example the xmi file you created is in the current directory, if not, include the full path to it in the createDocument command) :
deployUri = "cells/<your_cell_name>/applications/<your_app_name>.ear/deployments/<your_app_name>/META-INF/ibm-application-ext-pme.xmi"
AdminConfig.createDocument(deployUri, "ibm-application-ext-pme.xmi")
AdminConfig.save()
3) restart the server

migrating mod_plsql application to Oracle REST Data Services

I read on MOS Doc ID 1945619.1 that starting with the 12.1.3 Oracle HTTP Server (OHS), the mod_plsql feature has been deprecated and will not be included with the 12.2 Oracle HTTP Server.
For the future, Oracle recommends moving to Oracle REST Data Services (formerly known as Oracle APEX Listener) as an alternative to mod_plsql.
Our shop have a lot of mod_plsql applications (i.e. applications written usinjg HTP/HTF packages) in production. Since I don't know anything about Oracle REST Data Services I'm asking you if we can migrate the old applications to this new product without changing the code.
Thank you.
Kind regards, Cristian
Doug McMahon (Oracle employee) has a great open source module for Apache.
Apache PL/SQL Gateway Module
(mod_owa)
https://oss.oracle.com/projects/mod_owa/dist/documentation/modowa.htm
I am using it in a production environment and I highly recommend it. It's really fast and rock solid.
You need to do some compiling but it's worth it being able to use Apache 2.4 and mod_plsql.
Steps:
download httpd 2.4.? from apache.org + extract
If Centos 6 or less download apr and apr-util
configure with enable-so, make and make install
./configure --enable-so --with-apr=/usr/local/apr --with-apr-util=/usr/local/apr
Download mod_owa + unzip
create empty directory. Copy all files from "apache24" into new folder. Copy all files from "src" to new folder
enter new folder and edit modowa.mk <-- important add $ORACLE_HOME, edit APACHE_TOP
Copy mod_owa.so to apache's modules
Add a modowa.conf in Apache's conf/ dir.
Example modowa.conf:
loadModule owa_module modules/mod_owa.so
<Location /pls>
Options None
SetHandler owa_handler
OwaUserid user/pass
OwaNLS AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8
OwaPool 100
OwaStart "package.procedure"
OwaDocProc "wwv_flow_file_mgr.process_download"
OwaDocTable photos_upload BLOB_CONTENT
OwaUploadMax 50M
OwaCharset "utf8"
order deny,allow
allow from all
OwaReset LAZY
OwaCharsize 4
OwaFlex package.procedure
OwaHttp REST
</Location>
Before starting httpd ORACLE_HOME, NLS_LANG needs to be set (ORACLE_SID also if local). It needs access to an Oracle Home with libclntsh.so. (Oracle client will do).
I simply added oracle.conf (one line full path to oracle home/lib) under /etc/ld.so.conf.d (+ ldconfig)
Really scalable and a much cleaner setup then OHS.
My shop is pretty much in the same situation as you are.
We also have some very large mod_plsql/htp based applications and will have to migrate to the Oracle REST Data Services at some point.
We have already spend quite some time in testing different ORDS configuration and our overall conclusions are:
only APEX applications are fully supported
key functionality is still available
harder to configure and maintain
slight performance degradation
some mod_plsql configuration options do no longer exist or have changed
The biggest problems we are currently facing (and actually preventing us from switching to ORDS) are some restrictions when using non-APEX (pure HTF/HTP) applications.
We already filed some SR's because some functionality in ORDS (for example the file upload and download API) is only available when running an APEX application.
The biggest hurdle to get over is setting up Oracle Rest Services (ORS) and securing it. Once this is done, your web toolkit apps will work the same. The url may slightly change, so if you've referenced URLs using full paths as opposed to relative paths you might need modify code.
I am not sure if ORS is as powerful as Apache in areas like mod_rewrite, mod_proxy, virtual hosts with multiple ip addresses, etc...
Another open source alternative is tox.

How to install applications to a WebSphere 7.0 cluster using wsadmin?

I want to deploy to all four processes on a Websphere cluster with two nodes. Is there a way of doing this with one Jython command or do I have to call 'AdminControl.invoke' on each one?
Easiest way to install an application using wsadmin is with AdminApp and not AdminControl.
I suggest you download wsadminlib.py (Got the link from here)
it has a lot of functions, one of them is installApplication which works also with cluster.
Edit:
Lately I found out about AdminApplication which is a script library included in WAS 7 (/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/scriptLibraries/application/V70)
The docuemntation is not great in the info center but its a .py file you can look inside to see what it does.
It is imported automatically to wsadmin and you can use it without any imports or other configuration.
Worth a check.
#aviram-segal is right, wsadminlib is really helpful for this.
I use the following syntax:
arg = ["-reloadEnabled", "-reloadInterval '0'", "-cell "+self.cellName, "-node "+self.nodeName, "-server '"+ self.serverName+"'", "-appname "+ name, '-MapWebModToVH',[['.*', '.*', self.virtualHost]]]
AdminApp.install(path, arg)
Where path is the location of your EAR/WAR file.
You can find documentation here

Can you connect to a MS Access database from Ruby running on a Mac?

I'm pretty sure the answer is "no" but I thought I'd check.
Background:
I have some legacy data in Access, need to get it into MySQL, which will be the DB server for a Ruby application that uses this legacy data.
Data has to be processed and transformed. Access and MySQL schemas are totally different. I want to write a rake task in Ruby to do the migration.
I'm planning to use the techniques outlined in this blog post: Using Ruby and ADO to Work with Access Databases. But I could use a different technique if it solves the problem.
I'm comfortable working on Unix-like computers, such as Macs. I avoid working in Windows because it fills me with deep existential horror.
Is there a practical way that I can write and run my rake task on my Mac and have it reach across the network to the grunting Mordor that is my Windows box and delicately pluck the data out like a team of commandos rescuing a group of hostages? Or do I have to just write this and run it on Windows?
Why don't you export it from MS-Access into Excel or CSV files and then import it into a separate MySQL database? Then you can rake the new one to your heart's content.
Mac ODBC drivers that open Access databases are available for about $30.00
http://www.actualtechnologies.com/product_access.php is one. I just run access inside vmware on my mac and expore to csv/excel as CodeSlave mentioned.
ODBC might be handy in case you want to use the access database to do a more direct transfer.
Hope that helps.
I had a similar issue where I wanted to use ruby with sql server. The best solution I found was using jruby with the java jdbc drivers. I'm guessing this will work with access as well, but I don't know anything about access
