Validation controls are responsible to validate the data of an input control. Whenever you provide any input to an application, it performs the validation and displays an error message to user, in case the validation fails.

ASP.NET 4.0 contains the following six types of validation controls:

   => CompareValidator - Performs a comparison between the values contained in two controls.
   => CustomValidator - Writes your own method to perform extra validation.
   => RangeValidator- Checks value according to the range of value.
   => RegularExpressionValidator - Ensures that input is according to the specified pattern or not.
   =>  RequiredFieldValidator - Checks either a control is empty or not.
   => ValidationSummary - Displays a summary of all validation error in a central location.

The dba_insert() function adds a record to a database.

FCT (File Control Table) - Contains a list of files known to CICS, the dataset name and status (closed/open, enable/disabled)

TCT (Terminal Control Table)- A list of the terminals known to CICS.

Dimensional modeling is often used in Data warehousing. In simpler words it is a rational or consistent design technique used to build a data warehouse. DM uses facts and dimensions of a warehouse for its design. A snow and star flake schema represent data modeling.
