Technology Questions

There are mainly four type of JDBC drivers available. They are:

Type 1 : JDBC-ODBC Bridge Driver - A JDBC-ODBC bridge provides JDBC API access via one or more ODBC drivers. Note that some ODBC native code and in many cases native database client code must be loaded on each client machine that uses this type of driver. Hence, this kind of driver is generally most appropriate when automatic installation and downloading of a Java technology application is not important. For information on the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver provided by Sun.

Type 2: Native API Partly Java Driver- A native-API partly Java technology-enabled driver converts JDBC calls into calls on the client API for Oracle, Sybase, Informix, DB2, or other DBMS. Note that, like the bridge driver, this style of driver requires that some binary code be loaded on each client machine.

Type 3: Network protocol Driver- A net-protocol fully Java technology-enabled driver translates JDBC API calls into a DBMS-independent net protocol which is then translated to a DBMS protocol by a server. This net server middleware is able to connect all of its Java technology-based clients to many different databases. The specific protocol used depends on the vendor. In general, this is the most flexible JDBC API alternative. It is likely that all vendors of this solution will provide products suitable for Intranet use. In order for these products to also support Internet access they must handle the additional requirements for security, access through firewalls, etc., that the Web imposes. Several vendors are adding JDBC technology-based drivers to their existing database middleware products.

Type 4: JDBC Net pure Java Driver - A native-protocol fully Java technology-enabled driver converts JDBC technology calls into the network protocol used by DBMSs directly. This allows a direct call from the client machine to the DBMS server and is a practical solution for Intranet access. Since many of these protocols are proprietary the database vendors themselves will be the primary source for this style of driver. Several database vendors have these in progress.

Following are the New Media Elements are present in HTML5:

With the help of Excel App instance. we can execute a Macro in VB code.

EXcelAppInstance.Application.Run("MacroName")

unlink()-deletes the given file from the file system.
unset() -makes a variable undefined.

You should not use AJAX if:

             =>  You want the page to show in a search engine, such as Google, because WebCrawler does not execute JavaScript code.

             =>  The browser does not support JavaScript.

             =>  You want to create a secure application.

Basically Load, Stress and Performance Testing are the same. However, Load testing is the test to check the users’ response time of number of users of any one scenario of the application whereas Performance Testing is the test to check the user response time for multiple scenario of the same application.

ContextMenu component provides the users with the ability to access some very frequently used commands. Context menu works by right click of mouse. They mainly provide access to commands particular to the control that has been clicked upon.

• Intelligent Search and Siri- Intelligent Search is an excellent mechanism to learn user habits and act on that information- open apps before we need them, make recommendations on places we might like and guide us through our daily lives to make sure we’re where we need to be at the right time.
  Siri is a personal assistant to the users, able to create contextual reminders and search through photos and videos in new ways. Swiping right from the home screen also brings up a new screen that houses “Siri Suggestions,” putting favorite contacts and apps right on your fingertips, along with nearby restaurant and location information and important news.


• Deeper search capabilities can show results like sports scores, videos, and content from third-party apps, and you can even do simple conversions and calculations using the search tools on your iPhone or iPad.


• Many of the built-in apps have been updated.
  ✓ Notes includes new checklists and sketching features
  ✓ Maps now offers transit directions
  ✓ Mail allows for file attachments
  ✓ Apple Pay is being improved with the addition of store credit cards and loyalty cards
  ✓ Leading “Passbook” to be renamed to “Wallet” in iOS 9.


• San Francisco font, wireless CarPlay support


• An optional iCloud Drive app, built-in two-factor authentication and optional longer passwords for better security.


• Performance improvements
