I'm not too familiar with ArcGIS, but is it possible to export geo-spatial data from SQL Server in a format that can easily be imported by ArcGIS? Is there a proprietary format for ArcGIS?
I'm not interested (I don't think) in purchasing ArcServer, I just want my data exposed (via web services) a client who does use Arc.
Thanks
If you are using ArcMap 10.0 version, then use the Query Layer feature to add SQL Server Spatial table data into ArcMap 10.
Use "File->Add Data-> Add Query Layer.." interface.
Using this You can connect to a SQL Server spatial tables and add them into ArcMap. Once you added into ArcMap, You can convert these data into Shape file format (a generally used GIS data files for ESRI ArcGIS tools). There are certain limitation with this method.
Another way is use ogr2ogr tool
see the link for more details

I am wondering how is possible to create a TMSL script from an tabular database (power bi service or SSAS) using some programing language. These kind of scripts are available in several tools, like SSMS or Tabular Editor:
Example of the menu to create TMSL script in SSMS from an active DB
What creates (as an example) something like this:
Example: A TMSL script header for a role
So, the question is if, for example, a python library / .NET wrapper could do that automatically. I am able to send several DMVs using pyadomd to extract the information by parts (with several lookups in alternate tables to transforms ids) and then recompose everything into an script, but if where a easy way to create it could less error prone and time saver.
Thanks in advance

IT's a .NET Library called Tabular Object Model, which can be used to read Tabular Model metadata and generate scripts using the JSON Scripter.
We are using Sisense for our reporting tool.
We have too many clients using Sisense.
This clients have a lot many dashboard , widget.
Sisense store data in mongo db.
I don't have an idea about Microsoft power BI.
Is there any possibility to build migrate tool for Sisense to Microsoft Power BI ?
Thank you.
For Sisense, it stores its meta-data for it in a mongo db instance. However for Power BI it stores it's meta data in the PBIX file. If you change the file extension from pbix to zip, you can navigate in inspect the contents.
When the report is deployed to the Power BI Service, it uses a number of components to store the file and meta data, blob storage and a small SQL instance in the background. You cannot access these items or the data in them.
For on premise versions of Power BI, Power BI Report Server (available in Premium only, or some enterprise licensing), this requires a SQL Server database to be used. This acts as a meta data store for the Power BI Front end and, also stores the files etc for the reports loaded to it. You can access this data meta store. More details on the setup here.
I don't think there is a path to migrate data from the mongo db to the sql, or the service, or the files, it will be a full recreate of the objects from one reporting technology to the other.
Actually, PowerBI uses XML and SiSense uses JAQL; parse the JAQL to create a translator to build rudimentary PowerBI reports. Since SiSense uses Elasticubes, Dashboards and Widgets, you have to parse them all to build out PowerBI. I successfully did this for SSRS and powerBI has a more complex layout but nonetheless, can be done...
Built it in .Net using Newtonsoft to extracts the JAQL (JSON) and then parse to translate to PowerBI..
not that hard
I need to load data from excel to table . i.e. upload excel from apex application and then load the oracle database table. I have been advised to avoid plugin so am looking for oracle apex processed using which i can do this.
Any advice/steps/links to information would be very helpful.
Th file to be loaded is .xlsm with macros but the macros can be ignored.
Apex 20.2
There's nothing built-in for allowing your users to load an Excel file into your Apex app and store the data into a database table.
Personally, I've used Carsten Czarski's XLSX_PARSER package with good results. The source code is clean and I even enhanced it to parse for my custom needs.
https://blogs.oracle.com/apex/easy-xlsx-parser%3a-just-with-sql-and-plsql
I found these two good references via Google:
Jeff Kemp's great review of many possible solutions for various data formats, including Excel - https://jeffkemponoracle.com/2018/11/load-spreadsheet-data-into-apex/
Anton Scheffer's Excel2Collections package - https://github.com/antonscheffer/excel2collections
Yes, You can do it without even using the Data loading wizard provided by oracle apex, so here is the video, in which I have in detail explained how you can do it, with simple 2 steps.

I have a dash made with Power BI, but I'm using Linux now and can't use it. I'd like to start using Data Studio, but I need to use the dashes I've already created with Power BI.
You can use your PowerBI dash from Linux, you just need to publish the dash to the PowerBI service after which you access it through a modern browser (e.g. Chrome). See the docs here.
In terms of getting your data out of PowerBI Desktop (thick client), there is no automated way. The best you can to is to create a PowerBI dash with a table visual and then include all relevant columns and rows to export in the table. Use the PowerBI export data feature to dump out to Excel. The same technique works in PowerBI service (the web version after you hace published). See the docs here.
If you want to try get to your PowerBI service (published data) from an API, that is not possible in any general format. The only option comes with the Premium version of PowerBI where you can connect to an XMLA endpoint to access the data. Typically organisations do their data wrangling in a tool before passing the data on to PowerBI To avoid the lack of open connectivity (to the processed data in PowerBI).
I want to view my data of hbase through browser. Is there any tool for this purpose so that I can view, manipulate data and get some result. Hbase shell interface is not easy to understand as I am new to hbase
If you can choose what distribution to use, I'll recommend you Cloudera. There is a good hbase data browser inside Hue. It supports filtering by families/columns and search in hbase table.
Also, it is possible to add data in cells
And edit it
