A function can be schema bound only if the following conditions are true:
Non-equijoins are used to return the result from two or more tables where exact join is not possible.
Example:
There are two tables: EMP and SALGRADE. The SALGRADE table contains the grade of employees. It also contains the minimum and maximum salaries for all grades. Suppose there arises a need to find the grade of employees based on their salaries, then a NON EQUI join can be used as follows:
An explicit transaction is one in which a user explicitly defines the beginning and end of the transaction. They are typically defined within the stored procedures. Explicit transactions begin with the BEGIN TRANSACTION statement and end with the COMMIT TRANSACTION or the ROLLBACK TRANSACTION statement. Once a transaction is committed, SQL Server ensures that the data is written to the database even in case of server failure.
The XmlWriter class is an abstract class of the System.Xml namespace. It is used to create streams and write data to XML documents. It performs tasks such as writing various documents into one output stream, encoding binary data, and managing, flushing, and closing output stream.
The 802.11g standard, defined by IEEE, is an extension to the 802.11b standard of wireless network. It operates in 2.4-GHz band and brings data rates up to 54Mbps using Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technology. Since the 802.11g standard is backward compatible with 802.11b, an 802.11b device can interface directly with an 802.11g access point.
Take the following steps to create a custom culture as follows:
Dim INculture As New CultureInfo(”en-IN”)
Dim INregion As New RegionInfo(”en-IN”)
Dim Demo As New CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder(”x-en-IN-sample”, _CultureAndRegionModifiers.None)
Open the Web references node in the Solution Explorer, and click Show All Files, a tree of items appear under the node.
Service Broker is a new technology in SQL Server 2005 and provides a solution to message delivery issues that occur while transferring transactional data from one server to another. This technology provides a message-based communication platform and is part of the Database Engine. Database developers develop secure, reliable, and scalable applications with the help of Service Broker. Service Broker is used for the applications that use a single instance of SQL Server 2005 as well as for those that use multiple instances of SQL Server 2005 across the network. It provides reliable messaging between multiple instances of SQL Server 2005. It uses TCP/IP protocol to exchange messages between instances of SQL Server 2005, prevents unauthorized users from accessing the network, and encrypts messages that are sent over the network. It provides a robust asynchronous programming model. Asynchronous programming is the most popular technique in database application programming. In asynchronous programming, the Database Engine handles commands while the application continues to run. Asynchronous programming minimizes response time and enhances application throughput of database applications.
