Q:

What is a PL/SQL package? what are its Advantages ?

Answer

A package is a collection of related PL/SQL objects. The package contains a body and a specification. The package specification has the declaration which is public and can be used in the PL/SQL sub programs inside the package.


The package body holds the implementation of all the PL/SQL objects declared in the specification.


Example of a PL/SQL Package.


CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE emp_data AS 


PROCEDURE add_employee (


      ename VARCHAR2,


      job VARCHAR2,


      mgr NUMBER,


      sal NUMBER,


      deptno NUMBER);


END emp_actions;


 


CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY emp_data AS 


PROCEDURE add_employee (


       ename VARCHAR2,


       job VARCHAR2,


       mgr NUMBER,


       sal NUMBER,


       deptno NUMBER) IS


BEGIN


         INSERT INTO emp VALUES (empno_seq.NEXTVAL, ename, job, mgr, SYSDATE, comm, deptno);


END add_employee;


END emp_data;


Advantages of  PL/SQL packages :


Packages are easier for application designing, encapsulating data, additional functionality and better performance. An application has various modules which can be placed in packages and handled easier.

Q:

What is an error-first callback ?

Answer

Error-first callbacks are used to pass errors and data as well. You have to pass the error as the first parameter, and it has to be checked to see if something went wrong. Additional arguments are used to pass data.


 


fs.readFile(filePath, function(err, data) {
if (err) {
// handle the error, the return is important here
// so execution stops here
return console.log(err)
}
// use the data object
console.log(data)
})

Q:

What is the BEST WAY to write test cases?

Answer

1) List down usecases (taken from business cases) from function specs. For each use case write a test case and categorize them into sanity tests, functionality, GUI, performance etc. Then for each test case, write its workflow. 


2) For a GUI application - make a list of all GUI controls. For each control start writing test cases for testing of the control UI, functionality (impact on the whole application), negative testing (for incorrect inputs), performance etc.

Q:

So if md5( ) generates the most secure hash, why would you ever use the less secure crc32( ) and sha1( )?

Answer Crypto usage in PHP is simple, but that doesn’t mean it’s free. First off, depending on the data that you’re encrypting, you might have reasons to store a 32-bit value in the database instead of the 160-bit value to save on space. Second, the more secure the crypto is, the longer is the computation time to deliver the hash value. A high volume site might be significantly slowed down, if frequent md5() generation is required.

Q:

What is immutable object? Can you write immutable object ?

Answer

Immutable classes are Java classes whose objects can not be modified once created. Any modification in Immutable object result in new object. For example is String is immutable in Java. Mostly Immutable are also final in Java, in order to prevent sub class from overriding methods in Java which can compromise Immutability. You can achieve same functionality by making member as non final but private and not modifying them except in constructor.
