create schema with dashdb on bluemix - ibm-cloud

I have the 'small package' of the dashdb service in bluemix. I can't create a new schema. It fails with no authority. I've read on another post that it's a limitation of the 'small package'. My question is: Is this limitation removed on other packages? ie. I don't want to upgrade to the $ package only to find the same restriction.
Thank you, Dan

As you can see in the service overview for dashDB there is either the entry plan (the "small package") which only has single schema support (one dedicated schema on a shared server) or there are different enterprise-level packages. They give you the full control in terms of schema creation.
The enterprise plans of dashDB are fully managed services (DBaaS). In the short service description is a email address you might want to contact if you need specifics.

Configuring FHIR OSS to use a specific database name

I am deploying the Microsoft Open Source FHIR server to Azure using the supplied ARM templates (which I have converted to BICEP templates).
I want to deploy a test instance and a prod instance (in different resource groups), but I would like them to use the same cosmosdb account (which is in a 3rd resource group).
Whilst you can point a deployment to use an existing cosmosdb account, presumably the database names would clash.
In principle this seems possible if you could configure the name of the database to be used by a deployment.
Any suggestions or ideas?
Many thanks,
Andreas.

Unable to create database instance in IBM Cloud

[there is some internal server error while creating database instance in cloud][1]

Raise a support ticket with IBM.
Operational issues on commercial cloud services are not for stackoverflow.
Additionally, if you are on the "lite" plan (as suggested by your image), there is no ability to create a Database instance. Instead, you can only connect to a shared multi-tenanted database with your your account. It has a schema which is your account-name.

Vault for Kafka distributed connectors

I am using a JBoss based vault to secure sensitive data such as the database credentials.
I use a Java based HTTP REST client to create distributed Kafka connectors but ended up with a security concern such that a request for the connector's "config" exposes the sensitive credentials in the response.
I referred this official documentation but could not get much help in the context of JBoss vault.
Any pointers or references that directly addresses this specific problem is very much appreciated.
Any references to alternate open source (and free to use) Vault based solutions would also be of great help.
You'd have to write code that implements the ConfigProvider interface of the Connect API, mentioned there.
You can browse Kafka source code on Github to see the existing File one, but that KIP (which references Hashicorp Vault) and the source files are the only such documentation for now.
Connect doesn't use JBoss, either, so you'd have to find a way around that

Creating multiple users in Bluemix Biginsight to test Knox service

I have created a space and a BigInsight cluster on Bluemix. In order to test Knox, I need multiple users for authentication. Is it possible to create users in Bluemix Biginsight service? The ID that is provided to access the cluster does not have root access. Also, it would be helpful if someone can explain in detail how the admin-related task(adding more components like Hue,Drill using yum commands) could be performed in Bluemix Biginsights service. Thanks in advance.
I am guessing here that you have created a Bluemix Biginsights Basic (Beta) plan.
This service is a single user service and cannot have multiple users.
In addition this service is a managed service and installation of software by the user is not allowed.
This service comes with preconfigured settings and pre-installed softwares that is fixed. If you do need something apart from this, I would suggest to open a Biginsights service ticket through Bluemix Support page with a request for it and why you need the software.
The product management team will look at it and see if they can be preinstalled in the future release.
These installations will not be done on a any Basic (Beta) plan for individual clusters.

Best data base in IBM Bluemix

I am new to Bluemix. I am planning for a web application that could utilize the database service and Watson IoT service.
Currenlty I am using mysql for my app, because it is more familiar to me. I have noticed couple of other services too( clearDB, dashDB, Cloudant DB, NoSQLCloudantDB ). I am not sure whether all the terms i mentioned is correct.
I am confused, which service should i follow?.
For mysql, How can I see the tables that I pushed?.
And, what is meant by, cloudantNoSQL?.
Thanks for the help!
The Watson IoT platform provides a managed connector to the IBM Cloudant NoSQL DB service on Bluemix. https://developer.ibm.com/iotplatform/2016/07/25/enhanced-data-storage-capabilities-for-ibm-watson-iot-platform/
A single specific storage solution is not going to work for every case so which option you choose may be dependent on your overall architecture and strategy.
