What is NodeXL

NodeXL resolve our problem to creating Many to Many Relationship in according to data. 

Last month our team got requirement from IT Director: How we can create many-to-many relationship graph based on data, automatically ? We search and tested many tools some online and some desktop installed but  no one worked fi9 and complete as per requirement. Few doesn't responded and few suggested to use paper and pen . But Our Team Lead resolve this requirement through a simple tool that was NodeXL.





NodeXL is a free, open-source template for Microsoft® Excel® 2007, 2010 and 2013 that makes it easy to explore network graphs.  With NodeXL, you can enter a network edge list in a worksheet, click a button and see your graph, all in the familiar environment of the Excel window.

I have tested NodeXL to create show many-to-many relationship graph based on Twitter trends data.. plz follow URL..

NodeXL Features Support
  1. Flexible Import and Export   Import and export graphs in GraphML, Pajek, UCINet, and matrix formats.
  2. Direct Connections to Social Networks  Import social networks directly from Twitter, YouTube, Flickr and email, or use one of several available plug-ins to get networks from Facebook, Exchange, Wikis and WWW hyperlinks.
  3. Zoom and Scale  Zoom into areas of interest, and scale the graph's vertices to reduce clutter.
  4. Flexible Layout  Use one of several "force-directed" algorithms to lay out the graph, or drag vertices around with the mouse. Have NodeXL move all of the graph's smaller connected components to the bottom of the graph to focus on what's important.
  5. Easily Adjusted Appearance Set the colour, shape, size, label, and opacity of individual vertices by filling in worksheet cells, or let NodeXL do it for you based on vertex attributes such as degree, betweenness centrality or PageRank.
  6. Dynamic Filtering  Instantly hide vertices and edges using a set of sliders—hide all vertices with degree less than five, for example.
  7. Powerful Vertex Grouping Group the graph's vertices by common attributes, or have NodeXL analyse their connectedness and automatically group them into clusters. Make groups distinguishable using shapes and colour, collapse them with a few clicks, or put each group in its own box within the graph. "Bundle" intergroup edges to make them more manageable.
  8. Graph Metric Calculations Easily calculate degree, betweenness centrality, closeness centrality, eigenvector centrality, PageRank, clustering coefficient, graph density and more.
  9. Task Automation Perform a set of repeated tasks with a single click.

How to encrypt and decrypt Table data in postgres

For encrypting and decrypting , we must use the bytea data type on the column which we implement. Bcoz bytea will use the pgcrypto method by default. However, you will need to create the pgcrypto extension to enable these functions as they are not pre-defined in PostgreSQL/PPAS. Example CREATE EXTENSION pgcrypto; CREATE TABLE userinfo (username varchar(20), password bytea); >>    Inserting the data in an encrypted format INSERT INTO userinfo VALUES(' suman ',encrypt('111222','password','aes')); select * from userinfo ; >>    Retrieving the data as decrypted format SELECT decrypt(password,decode('password','escape'::text),'aes'::text) FROM userinfo; Thanks for reading Plz dont forget to like Facebook Page.. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sql-DBAcoin/523110684456757

How to recover msdb database from suspect mode

 It was Monday 9 th Jun 47 degr. temperature of Delhi-NCR. Temperature was like boiling me and database. When I reached my office( @ 8.45 am) got an alert from one of Server. “MSDB is in suspected mode” At the same time comes in my mind, this issue will boil me today.. I just tried to cool my self through cold drink then connected server from my local system using windows authentication mode..

SQL71562: external references are not supported when creating a package from this platform

Last week I got this error from one of developer who was trying to deploy his project from Testing server to SQL Azure QA server. He was using “Deploy Database to SQL Azure” option from SSMS Tool-Task option. After connecting to SQL Azure portal when operation started to deployment below errors occurs. Validation of the schema model for data package failed. Error SQL71562: Error validating element xx.xxx.xx:function .dbo.xxx has an unresolved refrence to object xx.dbo.xxxx external refrences are not supported when creating a package from this platform . Reason: The reason of the this error was; some functions of project was dependent on master database and only single database was being deploy to SQL Azure. DACFx must block Export when object definitions (views, procedures, etc.) contain external references, as Azure SQL Database does not allow cross-database external references So, this error was coming. Solution : I suggested him to create those function to locally
