Does anybody know of a web based something that would allow end users to interact (change selection) for an OLAP cube on DB2
I've tried DB2 AlphaBlox once. Check that out.

it's been 2 months I'm working for a new client on BI Reporting on Oracle BI Publisher within an OracleCloud CRM and HCM. to make query to OracleCloud database I have to use notepad++ and then copy/past my query in the Query textArea on BIPublisher (which is a simple text area without any syntaxe check or color), I was wondering if there are some experts who might know a way to connect SQL Developer to OracleCloud database so I can run my queries directly without copy/past on the browser.
thank you a lot
There's no direct access to the underlying Oracle Database from your SaaS subscription.
We (the SQL Developer team) are working with a few of the SaaS business owners to make SQL Developer Web available for their subscribers. This would allow you to run queries directly against your database w/o having to do the copy/paste jump you're doing today in BI Publisher.
I cannot provide guidance on when this will happen or even if your particular services will make it available.
The TL;DR answer to your question is 'No, but we are working on it'
I would like to know if the DB2 data base has any kind of Monitoring tools.
For example. I use Navicat to manage Mysql Bases, and Navicat has a monitor tool that shows me which queries are running at that momment and i can close the processes. So... Does the Db2 Has any kind of monitoring tool?
Use db2top.
There is a nice blog about using db2top here - http://www.thekguy.com/db2top
In your example, you mention that you use Navicat to manage MySQL databases.
Navicat interfaces with MySQL to give you reports on the state of your databases, but Navicat is not part of the MySQL database management subsystem, rather it relies on information that MySQL makes available to Navicat in order for it to generate its reports that give you your insight into how well they are performing.
There are monitoring products out there that do the same with DB2. i.e. interface with DB2 and give insight into what work is being processed and overall system health.
What monitoring tools there are available to you depend on where your DB2 subsystem runs, mainframe or Linux/Unix/Windows. Different platforms with different solutions, but common among them is that they report on the health of your DB2 subsystem and the elements contained within it.
So the basic answer to your question is, yes, there are monitoring and reporting tools and applications available to monitor a DB2 subsystem, the work it is doing, and the state of the objects within (databases, tables, indexes and the data within them).
In my project I need to simulate social network community members and their activities. I think to represent the members as nodes and need to store the count of their postings, feedback etc. Can we store the data collected by executing tcl script into a database (PostgreSQL)? If yes can anyone explain how it is?
You could also use SQlite3, a much lighter alternative to a full Postgres installation.
see https://www.sqlite.org/tclsqlite.html
Try OpenACS - it's a social networking community software and is written using TCL and Postgresql (or Oracle if you prefer)
We have a bespoke column based database which we access progamatically using its ADO.NET driver which we wrote in-house. However a colleague wants to use Excel etc to access this database using ODBC.
I expected to find some form of connector to provide an ODBC connection over an ADO.NET datasource (or some config in the ODBC) but I can't find anything.
I know this is using a new tech to connect to a much older one, but its what they want! So if anybody knows of a way to do this it would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Sounds like you've created a ADO.NET driver first, as opposed to an ODBC driver first. This sounds a little crazy as everyone knows you can access ODBC driver from ADO/NET but not the other way round.
ODBC is actually a much better interface and used by far more applications, is you question actually correct??
I have been working with Microsoft SQL Server since 6.5 along with other database like Oracle, MySQL and SQLite. I equally appreciate or hate all these DBMS for some point or the other.
On our forthcoming project, we are considering Postgres in the back-end. I have already started playing with it, pretty interesting for me.
I have always heard good comments on Postgres database, but I don't like the admin studio at all. While creating new a table, I hate the way of creating columns on pgAdmin by having to click add button again and again.
Are there any "Studios" for Postgres database that provide
more organized table creation process (spreadsheet like)
graphical view designer
What's wrong with plain SQL? Writing plain SQL goes much faster than click-wait-click-wait-type-click-wait-ok-wait. You could use any tool for this, pgAdmin as well.
Open Office Base can also connect with PostgreSQL, works like MS Access. And talking about MS Access, MS Access can also connect to PostgreSQL to create tables, views, etc.
See this official list of Administration/Development tools.
EMS SQL Manager seems to be a good option.
for the graphical view of SQL queries
maybe SQLeo can Help
