I want to know what exactly will happen when I query data(using php devkit or qbsdk) from quickbooks while bookkeepers are working on it.
The question looks pretty simple but I'm really concerning about the company file to be corrupted or not in this case.
Any opinions?
From your bookkeepers perspective - nothing will happen. They won't even know you're querying it.
From your perspective - you'll get some data back.
QuickBooks is a database just like any other database. You can query data from it, and it won't corrupt that data. It will just query it.

I'm gonna ask a stupid but desperate question.
Is it possible to get back a query who has been updated same with before without backup of the db.
For example I have the sentence
Hello world
and someone did an update query to
Hello hell
Is there a possibility to go back to before or log where I can find when the original sentence has been created, or maybe (let's think everything is possible) a default backup of my db ?
I'm using RAILS 5, and sqlite3
Thank you
Unfortunately not "by default", Rails doesn't have anything built-in for such situations nor does it log old values when applying updates.
You might want to use https://github.com/paper-trail-gem/paper_trail if you expect this happening often.
does anyone know if it is possible to create relationships in the dashboard of parse?
I'm running the bitnami parse api 1.0.18 through aws ec2 and can't see anyway of doing it and the documentations only says you can do it through code. i want to have these set up in the background as the user won't write to them, probably just download some data and images.
i could just go and create a whole heap of tables with unique identifiers but this seems a bit of a dumb work around.
I strongly suggest you look into Cloud code. This is one of the reason why cloud code works so well! Simple to setup and little bit of javascript you'll be on your way.

If its something that needs to happen before the insert, look at the beforeSave method.
I'm supposed to make an old sqlite database editable trough a Sketchup Plugin in its WebDialog. Sketchups Ruby is not able to install the sqlite3 gem and since I already need to display the table in a WebDialog, I opted for a micro service with the help of Nancy. The existing Plugin already uses the dhtmlxSuite and its Grid Component is exactly what I need. They even offer a Connector that can send requests based on the actions of the user in the grid.
They also offer a connector for the server side, but that too does not work with sqlite. I already managed to connect to my database, used Dapper to bin the result of an SQL query to an object and return that data with a manually crafted JSON object. Very hacky, but it populates the data successful.
Now the client-Connector sends data manipulated by the user (delete and insert is forbidden) back with an url encoded POST request that looks quite weird:
4_gr_id=4&4_c0=0701.041&4_c1=Diagonale%20f%3Fr%202.07%20X%201.50%20m&4_c2=AR&4_c3=8.3&4_c4=380&4_c5=38.53&4_c6=0&4_c7=0&4_!nativeeditor_status=updated&ids=4
I'm not sure exactly why the hell they would use the row index inside the key for the key-value pairs, but this just makes my life that much harder. The only thing that comes to my mind is extracting the data I'm interested in with a regex, but that sounds even worse than what I did before.
Any suggestions for me how I could map that POST request to something usable?
I'm trying to build my first Swift app and I think Realm may be a good option for my database. This might be a totally stupid question, but will my users be able to access the data on my database without an internet connection? I'm fairly certain that the answer is yes, but I just want to make sure.
As a side note, I want the data to be stored on the users phone (not a server or anything like that)
Thanks for the help
Yep! Realm is a completely offline, local database solution. There's no online component, but if you do decide to, you can sync data from Realm online using third party cloud services like Parse (Or just literally copying the database file to Dropbox).
By default, all data saved with Realm is stored in a file called 'default.realm' in the Documents directory of your app, but you can easily explicitly set where you want the data to be saved.
I've checked a lot of sites and answers and I can't find any solutions specific to my problem.
I don't need to change the schema for my Core data model, all I need is to modify (add some) content to the current backing SQL Database.
Any direction on this will be welcome. Thanks.
PS: I tried Apple docs and they were about as useful to me as sunshine on Mecury.
Also go easy please, I'm a beginner.
Thanks.
UPDATE;
To shed more light on my issue, my app works as thus. I have preloaded static information on the app that can't be changed by the user, each day has new content. Every month, I push an update with entirely new content specific to that month. However, when my app entered production, upon the update I pushed for this month, my users were complaining that they couldn't access the month's data. This led to me spamming them with Push notifications to have them delete the app and do a fresh install to access the new data.
How can I fix this issue? my schema stays the same, only the data changes.
If I understand correctly you want to pre-fill a Core Data database ?
If you don't care about pre-existing data on existing app, you can make an iPhone or Mac app with the same model, and let it generate the database, like explain here (Any way to pre populate core data?) it's also the way recommended in a really great book if you want to learn more about Core Data (http://pragprog.com/book/mzcd2/core-data).
Do not ever make SQL request directly, Core Data work in his own magic way.
Don't work on the SQLite-Database directly. Change all your Data through NSManagedObjectContext! To find a good strategy look up examples from Batch-Importing.
Update: You could actually have two PersistentStores (one with just static data (readonly) and the other one with user-generated data). You could interchange the readonly which you prefilled with a commandline util and downloaded from a server. You cannot have direct relationships between those two store though.
I would say that it depends on the amount of data in this prefilled store wether you should go this way or just use a plist and reference some string constants in your user data store. Try to do it with a plist as this is the simpler approach.
