Interview Questions

Tell us about a time when you missed a deadline.

(or)

Let's discuss a time when you missed a significant deadline.

If you answer something like "You never missed a deadline". Most interviewers will immediately conclude you are not experienced and may also feel you are lying. 

Approach - It is absolutely necessary to accept that you have missed a deadline and give reasons how you resolved and what you learned from it. This will demonstrate your experience.

You could say in one of the first projects earlier in your career you missed an important deadline and made the boss very upset. It was a great learning experience and after doing some introspection, you realized, you could have done better planning, prioritization and communication. Now, you use special tools, processes and methods to address these issues. Now your team, colleagues and management are always up to date so no surprises arise on meeting deadlines. 

Below are few things you may emphasize on in your response...

Effective planning

Procedural Improvements

Better Prioritization

Open communication

Better Status reporting

There are two types of modular programming.They are interface and implementation.

we can always fetch from one database and rewrite to another. Here is a nice solution of it.$db1 = mysql_connect("host","user","pwd")
mysql_select_db("db1", $db1);
$res1 = mysql_query("query",$db1);$db2 = mysql_connect("host","user","pwd")
mysql_select_db("db2", $db2);
$res2 = mysql_query("query",$db2);At this point you can only fetch records from you previous ResultSet, i.e $res1 – But you cannot execute new query in $db1, even if you supply the link as because the link was overwritten by the new db.so at this point the following script will fail
$res3 = mysql_query("query",$db1); //this will failSo how to solve that?

take a look below.
$db1 = mysql_connect("host","user","pwd")
mysql_select_db("db1", $db1);
$res1 = mysql_query("query",$db1);

$db2 = mysql_connect("host","user","pwd", true)
mysql_select_db("db2", $db2);
$res2 = mysql_query("query",$db2);

So mysql_connect has another optional boolean parameter which indicates whether a link will be created or not, as we connect to the
$db2 with this optional parameter set to 'true', so both link will remain live.

Now the following query will execute successfully.
$res3 = mysql_query("query",$db1);

DAO (Data access object ) is used for accessing data before ado it was used for database installed on same sys where the application resides.

RDO (Remote data object ) is used for accessing remote data

ADO (Active data object ) most powerful till date it is nothing but combination of both DAO and RDO 

PHP developed for less script, time saving, Free Open Source Software and runs on different platforms such as Windows, Linux, Unix, etc. PHP compatible with almost all servers used today such as Apache, IIS, etc.

The PHP scripting language resembles JavaScript, Java, and Perl, These languages all share a common ancestor, the C programming language. PHP has full access to the information that the server has, and very little access to information that the client has. In fact, it only has information that the client tells the server and that the server passes on to PHP. Because it is on the server, however, PHP cannot be modified by the client. While you cannot necessarily trust the information that the client gives to PHP, you can trust that your PHP is doing what you told it to do. Because PHP is on the server end, your PHP scripts can affect your server -- such as by keeping an activity log or updating a database.

Invoice holds are 2 types
1)Sytem Hold               2) User Defined Holds.

Sytem Holds: Sytem holds the invoice if the Invoice Amt total is not equal to Invoice Distribution Amt. To release the hold correct the amount and again validate the invoice.

User Defined Holds: These is defined by user. If we do want to make payments to the validated invoice. Go to particular invoice and apply hold going to Holds tab.

A library of container templates approved by the ANSI committee for inclusion in the standard C++ specification. A programmer who then launches into a discussion of the generic programming model, iterators, allocators, algorithms, and such, has a higher than average understanding of the new technology that STL brings to C++ programming
