Database Programming

A stored procedure is like a miniture program in SQL Server. It can be as simple as a select statement, or as complex as a long script that adds, deletes, updates, and/or reads data from multiple tables in a database. (Stored procedures can also implement loops and cursors which both allow you to work with smaller results or row by row operations on data.) The SQL Server functions are option for doing certain operations in SQL Server. They can not be used to update, delete, or add records to the database. They simply return a single value or a table value. They can only be use to select records. However, they can be called very easily from within standard SQL, such as: SELECT dbo.functionname('Parameter1') OR SELECT Name, dbo.Functionname('Parameter1') FROM sysObjects For simple reusable select operations, functions can simply your code. Just be wary of using JOIN clauses in your functions. If your function has a JOIN clause and you call it from another select statement that returns multiple results, that function call with JOIN those tables together for EACH line returned in the result set. So though they can be helpful in simpling some logic, they can also be a performance bottleneck if they're not used properly.

If the set time is too short, then too much process switching will take place and the design will become slow. If the set time is too long, then the system may become unresponsive, time wasting and would emulate First Come First Served.

In a database a field with a formula is called a calculated field. A calculated field should actually be in a table, as it can be calculated from data in other fields in the table, so it normally only appears in queries, reports and forms. In a spreadsheet it would just be a calculation.

It is the amount of space that you want to allow for some data. Different kinds of data will take more space than others, so you should define how much space is needed. So if you had a field for Gender, then the values would be Male or Female. So a maximum of 6 letters is needed, so you could specify that as the field width. If you set it larger than that you would be allocating space that was not needed, and you would be wasting space. For other things, like names or address lines, you would need more space than for your gender field, so you would set them to have more space. Some fields have their widths automatically set, like date fields, so you don't need to specify anything.

In theory, relational databases (RDBMS) probably have no "hard" limits. In practice, existing products tend not to perform very well at certain kinds of processing. RDBMS are optimized to perform many different kinds of queries on the same data fairly well. This keeps them flexible, able to handle unanticipated uses.

But some applications require very specific kinds of queries and need these specific queries to be as fast as possible (or at least have well-known response characteristics). Sometimes niche or custom databases perform sufficiently better than existing RDBMS that it warrants such solutions.

Some also suggest that RDBMS don't fit object-oriented applications very well. This is a contentious topic with no easy answer. RDBMS and object-centric designs tend to use conflicting philosophies such that mixing and coordinating them can be difficult and expensive. Some commercial products claim to bridge the gap.

Data integrity = making sure the data is correct and not corrupt

Data security = making sure only the people who should have access to the data are the only ones who can access the data. also, keeping straight who can read the data and who can write data.

Digital technology refers to a process of storing, transmitting, and processing of information through the use of binary pulses.

As much as there are so many merits regarding digital technology, there are several setbacks to it.

Digital technology is expensive. Electronic transmissions from analogue to digital signals requires a large bandwidth and appropriate electronic signals. This infers a cost to users especially in third world countries where electricity costs a lot.

In addition to the above, digital technology uses a lot of power because it takes analogue signals and transmits them to digital binary codes using the Analogue-Digital Converter.

In case of storage medium crashes, digital technology can cause large amounts of data loss. This can be fatal to organisations and businesses.

Digital technology keeps evolving from year to year, thence it is difficult to customise to it. This leaves a lot to be desired for end users who have limited access to internet and the world wide web.

Using digital technology requires skills and knowledge to adequately deliver prompt services and products. These kind of skills are inadequate in the business world today which leaves a loophole int he digital world.

Digital technology also requires high bandwidth to transmit binary codes from one point to another. This is not provisional in third wolrd countries since dial-up modems are widely in use.

System errors easily affect digitization which makes it fragile to attacks and intrusion. This also leaves a gap in the security factor of the digital technology.

The advantage of system software is it is made for the os. so it will run smother than some others.

A DBA is a Database Administrator. It is the person who looks after the Database Management System. They may be part of the design team. They can look after who has access to the system and what levels of privilege. They will help people with any problems they are having. They may get the database to do more things and redesign it. They will maintain the database to make sure it works efficiently and it does not crash and no data is lost.

Data Definition Facilities - CREATE and DROP. Data Manipulation Facilities - SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE. Help Facilities - MS Access provides helpful wizards to allow 'novice' users to do a task or even 'expert' users to do it easier. Reporting Facilities - Creating professional looking reports from SELECT statements, another good example of this is MS Access. Data Control Facilities - Permissions, GRANT. Views, CREATE VIEW, etc. Multi-user Functionality - Allowing more than one user to access the database simultaneously. Including concurrency controls such as locking part of the database that is being updated. Distributed Databases - Distribute the database over several sites. CASE Tools - Computer-aided Software Engineering is the automation of the development of software systems. An example of this are the easy tools provided in MS Access and Oracle to create forms for a database. I'm sure people can add more, but these are what I see as the main functions.

A spreadsheet is just one document file which can store information. A database consists of many other files which can be used in collaboration. It becomes easier to get more information regarding one business from different files within a database. A good example of such database information is the financial position of a business.

A node (knot) is a point along a standing wave where the wave has minimal amplitude. The opposite of a node is an antinode, a point where the amplitude of the standing wave is a maximum. These occur midway between the nodes

A digital system can recognize digital data i.e. data only in form of 0 & 1, if data is not in digital form we have to convert it using analog to digital converters.

Well, the main advantage is that computers are very good at doing boring, repetitive calculations very quickly. Modern computers can perform trillions of calculations per second. A normal human is lucky if they can average one calculation per second manually. they are accurate ,

There are two besic utilities of an computer.

1>assist the human brain.

2>any types of data or information related jobs done easily,quickly,properly here.
