Technology Questions

• An Interpreter is a program that reads in as input a source program, along with data for the program, and translates the source program step by step.

The Java interpreter decodes each lines bytecode and runs a series of machine instructions for that bytecode. The JVM takes the byte code and generates machine code. The byte code is compiled to machine code, and the machine code is executed.

The object need to be serialized when it’s sent over a network and when it’s state is saved. Exceptions which occur during serialization are:

a. transient fields

b. when the base class is serialized then only base class fields are handled.

c. static fields are ignored because they are not part of any state.

MapReduce is a software framework that was created by Google. It`s prime focus was to aid in distributed computing, specifically large sets of data on a group of many computers. The frameworks took its inspiration from the map and reduce functions from functional programming.

The Asynchronous Transfer Mode or ATM is a connection technology that works by transmitting data into organized 53 bytes (small) packages through a physical environment with a high efficiency. Packing data into small cells reduces transportation delay so the speeds reached by this technology are very high; it can reach even 10 Gb per second.

The XML DOM (document object model) is used the access and management of xml. It is a platform that is language neutral and allows a program or a script to dynamically access a document. It also allows the updation of content as well as the structure and style of the document. It is responsible for the defining of the object and properties of all xml elements as well as to define the methods for their access. There are various methods that can be used in xml dom such as:

- getElementsByTagName: used to call a specific user defined tag.

- setAttribute: used to change the value of an existing attribute.

- appendChild: used to add a child node to another node.

We use SQLPASSTHROUGH options when we need applications to access data both in the front-end and back-end data servers with a single connection. SQL statements that cannot be executed in the solidDB front-end server are passed over to the back end. 

SQLPASSTHROUGH mode can be set as per session or per transaction. The connection between the front end and back end is made with a back-end compatible ODBC driver which is loaded dynamically in solidDB server.

In Visual Basic, the basic syntax of a LINQ query starts with the From clause and ends with the Select or Group By clause. In addition, you can use the Where, Order By, and Order By Descending clauses to perform additional functions, such as filtering data and generating the data in a specific order.

In C#, the basic syntax of a LINQ query starts with the From clause and ends with the Select or group by clause. In addition, you can use the where, orderby, and Orderby descending clauses to perform additional functions, such as filtering data and generating the data in a specific order.

'ViewState' is specific to a page in a session.
'SessionState' is specific to user specific data that can be accessed across all pages in the web application.
