- The services provided should be able to access only those products that need the services. 

- Web servers that are involved in responding the queries of the web users provide only accessing to the HTML files that will serve the purpose of the programs.

Cursors help you manipulate the information retrieved by select statements. This can be done by assigning a name to the cursor.

Example:

CURSOR emp_cur 

IS 

SELECT emp_number from employee_tbl where employee_name = name_in;

Types of Cursors:

Implicit cursors- These cursors are not declared by the programmer. They are issued when the SQL statement is executed. The open, close and fetching is done by itself.

Example:

UPDATE employee SET salary = salary * 2.1;

Here, an implicit cursor is issued to identify the set of rows in the table which would be affected by the update.

Explicit cursors- These cursors are defined by programmer. They are used in queries that return multiple rows.

Example:

CURSOR emp_cur 

IS 

SELECT emp_number from employee_tbl where employee_name = name_in;

Pseudo elements allow the use of the part of element and not the element itself. They are applied to block level element, which is used for the complete block for which the CSS is being written. This allow the subpart of an element to be styled like paragraphs and headings. For example:

selector:pseudo-element {property:value;}

p: first-line {text-transform: lowercase;}

It adds the style to the first line of the code in the paragraph.

Research in Motion, a Canadian company provided a proprietary operating system for BlackBerry.

The operating system provides support for Java MIDP 1.0 and WAP 1.2.

The current version supports Novell Group Wise and Lotus Notes.

Third-party software can be developed using BlackBerry APIs as well, with certain restriction functionality must be signed by RIM digitally, so that it can be associated to a developer account. 

Arrays can store data in a fix allotted space. The use of linked list allows more flexibility because space is dynamically allocated as needed.

- FTP is used to upload the files on the server from the client side where it is installed on the computer of clients. 

- FTP client is checked for the installation of the software and according to that the appropriate directory is uploaded on the hosting server. 

- The hosting server uploads the files that is being created by the user and set the permissions for it so that public can access it. 

- Web hosting uses different directories like HTML that is used as var/www/html that is determined using the FTP client. 

- Initial local directory is being set up using FTP client and it is where the website gets stored. 

- The transfer mode is being determined for the files that need to be transferred either in ASCII or BINARY mode.

When creating a thread by extending the Thread class, it is not mandatory to override the run method (If we are not overriding the run method , it is useless), because Thread class have already given a default implementation for run method. But if we are implementing Runnable , it is mandatory to override the run method. The preferred way to create a thread is by implementing Runnable interface, because it give loose coupling.

A thread can be created by subclassing Thread, or by implementing the Runnable interface.
