What is the difference between Oracle data types char and varchar2?
Character string values storage:1. CHAR:§ Stores strings of fixed length.§ The length parameter s specifies the length of the strings.§ If the string has smaller length it padded with space at the end§ It will waste of a lot of disk space.§ If the string has bigger length it truncated to the scale number of the string.2. VARCHAR:§ Stores strings of variable length.§ The length parameter specifies the maximum length of the strings§ It stores up to 2000 bytes of characters§ It will occupy space for NULL values§ The total length for strings is defined when database was created.3. VARCHAR(2):§ Stores strings of variable length.§ The length parameter specifies the maximum length of the strings§ It stores up to 4000 bytes of characters§ It will not occupy space for NULL values§ The total length of strings is defined when strings are given
What is average value in alternate voltage?
The term is 'alternating voltage', not 'alternate voltage'. For an a.c. voltage or current, the average value is taken over half its wavelength because, over a complete wavelength it is, of course, zero. For a sine wave, the average value (over half a wavelength) is 0.637 Vmax or 0.637 Imax.
What is slenderness ratio structural engineering?
The slenderness ratio is the ratio between the height or length of a structural element (such as a column, or strut) and the width or thickness of the element. For example, if a rectangular column is 6m high, and 400mm by 600mm in cross-section, then its slenderness is 6000/600 = 10 in one direction and 6000/400 = 15 in the other direction. The higher the slenderness ratio, the more slender the structural element is. How slender a structural element is allowed to be depends upon the material it is made from. Steel can be more slender than concrete, for example. In structural engineering calculations, the slenderness is often denoted as the element's "effective" length divided by something called the radius of gyration. The radius of gyration is a measure of the average distance of the material from the centroid (centre of gravity) of the element's cross section. This can be calculated as r = (I/A)0.5, where I is the second moment of area, or second moment or inertia, of the cross section and A is the area of the cross section. The effective length of an element is determined by how it is fixed at its ends. The effective length is the length of the column that will form half a sine wave if it buckles. If it is "pinned", or has hinged ends, the effective length is the true length of the element. If it is a cantilever (fixed at one end but free at the other), the effective length is twice the true length. If it is fully fixed at both ends the effective length is 0.7 times the true length, but this is in reality very difficult to achieve, so often a real structural element is considered to be only nominally fixed and the effective length is taken to be 0.85 times the true length.
What is the main differences between RMS value and average value?
RMS stands for root mean square. This is done so that negative values are then treated as positive values. In AC power for example, the voltage varies between a negative and a positive value. The number is squared and then the square root of this value is taken and the mean (average) of these numbers gives the answer. For example -40 is squared to become 1600 and then the square root of 1600 is taken to become 40 (a negative number becomes a positive number).If this wasn't done then the average value of AC power would be zero.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENT algorithm of advantage and amp disadvantage?
Different algorithms do different things, so it makes no sense to compare them. For example, the accumulate algorithm is an algorithm which performs the same operation upon every element of a container, whereas a sorting algorithm sorts the elements of a container. Each specific algorithm requires a different set of concepts. An accumulate algorithm requires a data sequence with at least forward iteration and elements which support the operation to be performed, whereas a sorting algorithm generally requires random access iterators and elements that support a given comparison operation (such as the less-than operator).Even if two algorithms have the exact same time and space complexities, it does not follow that both will complete the task in the same time. For instance, the accumulate algorithm is a linear algorithm with a time-complexity of O(n) regardless of which operation is being performed. However, the complexity of the operation itself can greatly affect the actual time taken, even when the operations have exactly the same time-complexity. For instance, if we use the accumulate algorithm in its default form (to sum all the elements in a data sequence), the operation itself has a constant-time complexity of O(1). If we choose another operation, such as scaling each element and summing their products, it will take much longer to complete the algorithm (possibly twice as long) even though the operation itself has the exact same time-complexity, O(1).Consider the time-complexity of adding one value to another:a += bThis has to be a constant-time operation because the actual values of a and b have no effect upon the time taken to produce a result in a. 0 += 0 takes exactly the same number of CPU cycles as 42 += 1000000.Now consider the operation to scale and sum:a += b * 42Here, 42 is the scalar. This also has to be a constant-time operation, but it will take longer to physically perform this operation compared to the previous one because there are more individual operations being performed (roughly twice as many).The only way to compare algorithms is to compare those that achieve exactly the same goal but do so in different ways. Only then does comparing their respective time-complexity make any sense. Even so, time-complexity is merely an indication of performance so two sorting algorithms with the exact same time-complexity could have very different runtime performance (it depends on the number and type of operations being performed upon each iteration of the algorithm). Only real-world performance testing can actually determine which algorithm gives the best performance on average.With sorting algorithms, we often find one algorithm ideally suited to sorting small sequences (such as heap sort) and others ideally suited to larger sets (such as merge sort). Combining the two to create a hybrid algorithm would give us the best of both worlds.
What is an average step length?
The average step length is taken as 30 inches.
What is the length of time taken to fully recover from kidney operation?
well, you don't actually know because it depends on what kind of kidney operation you had
What is the average length of a short term loan?
The average length of a short term loan will depend on what type of loan is being taken out. In general a short term loan may be over a period of time of between one and five years.
What stream measurement is taken in meters?
In meters you can measure the length of a section, the average depth and the speed can be expressed in meters per second
Where was the operation sealion taken place at?
London.
What is the unsupported length of the column?
Length over which the column has no support is taken as unsupported length of the column

How do pets get neutered?
They are taken to a veterinarian who removes their sexual organs in an operation.
What do you call an operation where an organ is taken from one person and put into another?
A transplant.
Does it hurt when getting screws taken out after ankle surgery.. not the actual operation but post operation.?
Doesn't that question answer itself? I assume that it would hurt at least a little bit. After all, you're getting SCREWS taken out of your FOOT.
What operation requires the active directory domain service to be taken offline?
offline defragmentation
