Amazon SQS is a message passing mechanism that is used for communication between different connectors that are connected with each other. It also acts as a communicator between various components of Amazon. It keeps all the different functional components together.

Java applications can call code written in C, C++, or assembler. This is sometimes done for performance and sometimes to access the underlying host operating system or GUI API using the JNI.

The steps for doing that are:

First write the Java code and compile it

Then create a C header file

Create C stubs file

Write the C code

Create shared code library (or DLL)

Run application

-  A stored procedure can accept parameters while a trigger cannot.
-  A trigger can’t return any value while stored procedures can.
-  A trigger is executed automatically on some event while a stored procedure needs to be explicitly called.
-  Triggers are used for insertions, update and deletions on tables while stored procedures are often using independently in the database.
-  A trigger cannot be written in a stored procedure. However, the reverse is not possible.

Node.js is a framework for web applications built on Google Chrome's JavaScript Engine(V8 Engine).

Node.js is comes with runtime environment on which a cript based on javascript can be interpreted and executed (It is analogus to JVM to JAVA byte code). This runtime environment allows to execute a JavaScript code on any machine outside a browser. Because of this runtime of Node.js, JavaScript is now can be executed on server also.

Node.js is provides a rich library of various javascript modules which eases the developement of web application using Node.js to greater extents.

-The shift() method is similar as the pop() method but the difference is that Shift method works at the beginning of the array. 

-The shift() method take the first element off of the given array and returns it. The array on which is called is then altered.

For example

var myarray = ["apple ", "banana ", "mango "]; 

console.log(myarray.shift());

console.log(myarray);

we get the following console output:

apple

["banana ", "mango "];

When we call shift() on an empty array, it will return an undefined value.

boolean isDirectory();
