Connecing to MapR database from Delphi/C++Builder app

I'm trying to find out if there is something like FireDac or dbExpress to connect an application written in Delphi or C++ Builder to a MapR Database. I was able to find this page that describes how to connect to various databases including Teradata, but there is no mention of MapR.If anyone has done this, I would really appreciate any pointers you might be able to give me.
FireDAC does not natively support MapR nor does dbExpress.
Your options seem to be:
Use MapR's REST Api - see REST or just google
mapr rest api
Use ODBC access. There is one available here: HiveODBC.

How can I connect to PostgreSQL with Meteor from Objective-C (iOS)

I using ObjectiveDDP
https://github.com/boundsj/ObjectiveDDP
to connect to MongoDB on Meteor server by subscript collections and It worked, but Can I connect to PostgreSQL (Server using MongoDB and PostgreSQL together).
Thanks, sorry for my bad english.
You can obviously access Postgre database on server using npm packages like this one https://www.npmjs.com/package/pg or using some ORM layer. But If you mean automatic sync PostgreSQL with clients using subscriptions with Meteor features like latency compensation - you can try this project https://github.com/meteor/postgres-packages - it is effort by MDG team itself to add full-stack support of PostgreSQL, but it is still in alpha

How should I import data into QuickBooks from my Rails application?

I'm working on a Rails project that needs to be able to import/export (mostly import) invoice data to/from QuickBooks. In Googling, the QuickBooks SDK and Web Connector come up often. However, both seem to only be for the Windows desktop versions. This QuickBooks instance is on a Mac.
The import can either be via an API or, if possible, a file could be generated from within the web app that could later be imported manually.
Currently, QuickBooks 2009 is what's being used. However, assume we can use nearly any version of QuickBooks. Online or desktop (Mac).
What would the best route be to get invoice data to/from the Rails application to QuickBooks?
Unfortunately, QuickBooks for Mac does not support any real method of integration. It's definitely the "black sheep" of the Intuit family.
The closest you can get is IIF file imports/exports.
There is detailed information on this (deprecated, and very limited) file format over here:
http://support.quickbooks.intuit.com/support/articles/HOW12778
You would be so, so, sooo much better off moving off of QuickBooks for Mac through, as the APIs for both QuickBooks for Windows (Web Connector/SDK/COM) and QuickBooks Online (REST v3 APIs) are much, much better than IIF imports/exports.

Connecting to SQL database inside iPhone App

I wanted to know the procedure to connect to SQL Database from an iPhone app. The read and write procedure to the SQL database and syncing it with iPhone's local database which is in sqlite, so that any changes in SQL database/sqlite database should be reflected on both.
The above answers are lacking. If you want to connect directly to a SQL sever from an iOS device you can use freeTDS. There are several compiled version that run on iOS. It is not as difficult as drag and drop developers would lead you to believe.
Cross compiling FreeTDS to iPhone
Firstly ios dosent support sql database.
If you have sql database on webserver, then you have to create webservices to perform CRUD operations.
Here is simple tutorial for webservices in ios
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/ios-app-builder/ios-tutorial-part-1-creating-a-web-service/
High level summary:
Construct your local storage database (available sqlite libraries: TankDB (made by me), FMDB)
Create your remote database with frontend webservices for interacting with the database (REST services using PHP might be a good idea for beginners: PHP to MySQL)
Create a way for your iPhone application to communicate with the hosted frontend webservices (available library: ASIHTTP)
You would use the ASIHTTP library from the iPhone to make a REST call to your hosted php files. The "sync" logic would be in your hosted php files and on the iPhone callbacks that are receiving the data.
Keep in mind this is a very simplified overview, but I think its enough to get the ball rolling.

VBA Heroku integration?

I am wondering what might be involved in connecting an Excel VBA application to the hosted database behind a Heroku Ruby on Rails application. Is this possible? My application cannot accomplish all of the functionality I need in the cloud only. The VBA application would be used as part of a system to print and encode proximity "smart" cards. Thank you for any and all tips on how best to implement this.
Number of options here depending on how you want to connect. I would consider exposing an API in your Heroku app that your VBA could consume (if possible).
Failing that;
The present Shared Database won't let you connect directly to the database so that's a no no.
The new beta shared postgres 9.1 (https://postgres.heroku.com/blog/past/2012/4/26/heroku_postgres_development_plan/) will let you connect to it from outside.
Use one of the Heroku DB addon providers such as ClearDB which is a mySQL provider which allows direct access to the database.
Bring your own database which you could host on an external server and have your Heroku app connected to it (watch out for latency) and then you can connect your printing app directly to that Db.
