Most of my work revolves around mail merging in Adobe InDesign for some PDF generation. The current steps are as follows: Enter data in MS Excel's appropriate columns, with one column dedicated to image URL (if any). Exporting complete worksheet in .csv file format. Updating .csv link in Adobe InDesign Finding row no. of the newly added / entered rows Mail-merging data in Adobe InDesign Now the issue I'm facing is of data entry. With scope of increasing workload, I'm thinking of adding another terminal for entry of data to the excel worksheet but with this comes another issue of handling concurrent users in same excel sheet. Also, I want the files to be backed up online. I tried using OneDrive as a central location to back up but it causes huge problem when two people start working on the same file and click 'save'. On 'saving' a file, OneDrive finds differences and instead of merging the edits intelligently, OneDrive creates another copy of the excel file and this creating confusion. So I am wondering if: There can be a way to have lightweight Oracle installed in other systems and Oracle server / main database installed in the main machine so that multiple people can work on same database concurrently without worrying about redundancies? Such Oracle / MySQL or any suitable lightweight SQL database can be accessed online Such database can be backed up online Is there a tool to import data directly from Oracle into Excel? or if not, Is there a way to convert data directly from Oracle database (filtered via SQL query) into .csv? If there is an option to work on Database such as Oracle / MySQL / MSSQL / Postgre or any that can help me export .csv file for an extract / SELECT query, then I is there a way to enter it using some GUI instead of command line?

Thanks

Hi, Thanks for prompt reply. So do you mean that even if i disconnect the two hard drives, I'll get the Ubuntu in the boot option list? is it a necessary component? Can it be hidden? Also, let suppose I let the current settings be, does it mean that my ubuntu installation (residing on the USB Drive) is limited to my system because only my BIOS has the boot loader info? OR does it mean that irrespective of boot loader installed, I can run the Ubuntu from my USB anywhere?

Hi! I know i can find my answer here Brief about me: I'm a visual designer, front-end designer, web+android developer avid gamer and a tech enthusiast/savvy. My system spec: Intel Core i5 4590K 16GB (8+8) DDR3 Corsair Vengeance Gigabyte G1 Gaming 4GB 960GTX 3TB : 1TB + 2TB Partition Detail: 1TB: [A1] - 200GB · Windows 10 Pro OS [A2] - 500GB · Random file storage [A3] - 200GB 2TB HDD [B1] - 200GB · Mac OS El Capitan [B2] - 1800GB · Main Work Drive shared between both the OSs To switch between the OS, i choose the desired OS at the Boot Options Menu. I really love to watch people working on Linux, the feel & sound of key presses and all those nerdy things really amazes me. So I downloaded Ubuntu and installed in a USB 3.0 SanDisk 64GB USB Drive. But I've got an issue. It seems like I didn't read the guides thoroughly and a part of Linux installation which I thought will be confined within my 64GB USB Drive has installed in the system somewhere due to which at runtime I start getting an option in the Boot Options list to boot Ubuntu even when USB Drive isn't attached. (I guess its something to do with a thing called GRUB). Now, I want to remove that piece of software/bootloader/anything which is causing it to list in the boot options and re-install the OS such that my USB Drive is solely capable to run Ubuntu with no dependencies on any of my other two hard drives. // Attached a diagram in case it helps
