Trigger allows us to execute a batch of SQL code when an insert, update or delete command is executed against a specific table.

Triggers are special types of stored procedures that are defined to execute automatically in place of or after data modifications. They can be executed automatically on the insert, delete and update operation.

To make this method available to every implementation class

Overloading allows multiple functions to exist with same name but different parameters. Again if you take bike as an example, it has a function “Start” with two forms i.e. ’Auto Start’ and ’kick start’.

Marshalling is the process of gathering data from one or more applications or non-contiguous sources in computer storage, putting the data pieces into a message buffer, and organizing or converting the data into a format that is prescribed for a particular receiver or programming interface.  

 Accounts receivables help small businesses by providing quick-time period liquidity. Additionally continued sales on credit provide the  much-needed continuity for small companies.

Basic Replication : Basic replication is implemented using standard CREATE SNAPSHOT or CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW statements. It can only replicate data and not procedures, indexes replication is always one-way, and snapshot copies are read only.

Advanced Replication : Advanced replication supports various configurations of updatable snapshot, multi-master and update anywhere replication. It is more difficult to configure but allows data and other database objects like indexes and procedures to be replicated.

Differences between Basic and Advanced replications:

- With basic replication, data replicas provide read-only access to the table data whereas advanced replication features extend the capabilities of basic read-only replication by allowing applications to update table replicas throughout a replicated database system.

- With Basic Replication applications can query data from local data replicas. On the other hand with advanced replication, data replicas anywhere in the system can provide both read and update access to a table's data.

An XSL sheet or a document may have duplicate elements and attributes. Therefore, the XML namespaces define a way to distinguish between duplicate element types and attribute names.

An XML namespace is a collection of element type and attribute names. It is a URI due to which any element type or attribute name in an XML namespace can be uniquely identified. 

It consists of two parts : the name of the XML namespace and the local name.

e.g.: xmlns: h=”https://www.abc.com”

After this, you can write

<h:table>

……..

</h:table>

to associate the table with the declared namespace.
