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.

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.

This command is used when a large processing of data has occurred. If any large amount of deletions, any modifications, or Bulk Copy into the tables has occurred, it has to update the indexes to take these changes into account. UPDATE_STATISTICS updates the indexes on these tables accordingly.

Use SELECT DISTINCT ..... in DB2 query

The DISTINCT keyword can be used to return only distinct (different) values.

Syntax:

     SELECT DISTINCT column1,column2

      FROM table_name;

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.

CURSOR STABILITY:

- CS is a row level locking

- Acquires an exclusive lock on the row that is to be updated

- When the control is moved to the next updatable row, the lock is released

REPEATABLE READ:

- RR is a page level locking

- Acquires an exclusive lock on the entire page which is the source of row availability

- When the control is moved to the next updatable page the lock is released

SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY column_name desc Fetch first 5 rows only;

Quality Assurance (QA): QA refers to the planned and systematic way of monitoring the quality of process which is followed to produce a quality product. QA tracks the outcomes and adjusts the process to meet the expectation.

Quality Control (QC): Concern with the quality of the product. QC finds the defects and suggests improvements. The process set by QA is implemented by QC. The QC is the responsibility of the tester.

Software Testing: is the process of ensuring that product which is developed by the developer meets the user requirement. The motive to perform testing is to find the bugs and make sure that they get fixed.
