An index is a object which is used to improve performance during retrieval of records.

CREATE [UNIQUE] INDEX index_name 

ON employee[emp_id, emp_name,dept_id]

[COMPUTE STATISTICS]

The UNIQUE keyword is used when combined values of the index should be unique.

The COMPUTE STATISTICS during the creation of index optimizes the plan of execution of the SQL statement and improves performance.

State is quite an innovative concept in Web development because it eliminates the drawback of losing state data due to reloading of a Web page. By using states in a Web application, you can preserve the state of the application either at the server or client end. The state of a Web application helps you to store the runtime changes that have been made to the Web application. For example, as already described earlier, a change in the data source of the Web application might be initiated by a user when he/she selects and saves some products in the shopping cart.

If you are not using states, these changes are discarded and are not saved. You may think that the whole concept of storing states is optional. However, under certain circumstances, using states with applications is imperative. For example, it is necessary to store states for Web applications, such as an e-commerce shopping site or an Intranet site of a company, to keep track of the requests of the users for the items they have selected on the shopping site or the days requested for vacation on the Intranet site.

Method contains name, parameters, return type and executable body. But block does not contains name, parameters, return type.It contains only executable body.

Methods are executed by method call statements. Blocks are executed automatically with class loading and with object creation.

SSIS, SSAS and SSRS are the most important reporting systems that BI professionals work with. On a detailed level, I have worked with data mining, master data management, data profiling and data cleansing and analysis.

A constructor is a member function of a class that is used to create objects of that class. It has the same name as the class itself, has no return type, and is invoked using the new operator. We cannot invoke a constructor directly.

A method is an ordinary member function of a class. It has its own name, a return type (which may be void), and is invoked using the dot operator.
