technologies:

|
|
| |
|
The
common request broker architecture.Specification of an architecture
for middleware technology called an Object Request Broker that
provides interopreability among clients and servers distributed
over a heterogeneous environment.
|
| |
COM+ |
|
| |
|
A set
of services based on extensions of Microsoft Transaction Server
(MTS) and the Component Object Model (COM) that provides improved
threading and security, transaction management, object pooling,
queued components, and application administration and packaging.
|
| |
.NET |
|
| |
|
Common
language specification(CLS)-compliant library of classes, interfaces,
and value types that are included in the Microsoft .NET Framework
SDK. This library provides access to system functionality and
is designed to be the foundation on which .NET applications,
components, and controls are built.
|
|
|
Distributed
technologies:
| |
EJB |
|
| |
|
The
Enterprice JavaBeans technology defines a model for the development
and deployment of reusable Java server components, called EJB
components.An EJB component is a nonvisual server component
width methods that typically provide business logic in distributed
applications. A remote client, called an EJB client, can invoke
these methods, which typically results in the updating of a
database.
|
| |
COM |
|
| |
|
The
Component Object Model, or COM, is an extremely elegant and
efficient methodology for inter-process communications. COM
allows developers to build stand-alone components (servers).
Users, or clients, of COM servers can use pre-built functionality
in server objects without intimate knowledge of the server object
during development; instead of requiring the developer to create
a link to a component's functionality at design time or provide
a path to the component in the source code, COM is able to ask
the registry for the object's location. This means that as long
as the registry knows where to find the server object, your
client application is in business. Asking the registry to point
the way to the server is as easy as asking directions to a city
street. The object of this article (not to be considered overly
technical in any shape or form) is to teach you how easy it
is to use COM, with complete, working, and reusable samples
that will get you through COM basics.
|
| |
DCOM |
|
| |
|
Distributed
COM (DCOM) is the big brother of COM. The definition of "distributed"
is that it is able to run clients and servers in different processes
across an intranet or internet. DCOM works just like COM: a
client asks the registry where the server is located and, instead
of pointing it to someplace on the local machine, it points
to an IP address. The primary difference between using COM and
DCOM is that COM processes run on the same machine in different
address spaces, but DCOM processes are spread across a network.
When you work with processes in different address spaces, whether
on the same machine or across a network, you need to implement
marshalling. The actual internal implementation of the marshalling
is the only difference between COM and DCOM from the COM-enabled
application developer's standpoint.
|
| |
RPC |
|
| |
|
Microsoft
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) defines a powerful technology for
creating distributed client/server programs. The RPC run-time
stubs and libraries manage most of the details relating to network
protocols and communication.
|
|
|
Application
servers and middleware:
| |
MTS |
|
| |
|
Microsoft
Transaction Server (MTS) provides a run-time environment executing
under Windows NT, which uses the COM interface mechanism to
provide a flexible application development environment. MTS
is suited for creating multitier client/server and Web-based
applications.

Within SQL, certain keywords and clauses are used as the DDL commands for a relational database.
Data Manipulation Language
Data manipulation language (DML) is the SQL language, or terminology, that is used to manage the data within the database. DML has no effect on the structure of the database; it is only used against the actual data. DML is used to extract, add, modify, and delete information contained in the relational database tables.

Relational database management systems:
| |
MS
SQL |
|
| |
|
The
SQL Server relational database engine is a modern, highly scalable,
highly reliable engine for storing data. The database engine
stores data in tables. Each table represents some object of
interest to the organization, such as vehicles, employees, or
customers. Each table has columns that represent an attribute
of the object modeled by the table (such as weight, name, or
cost), and rows that represent a single occurrence of the type
of object modeled by the table (such as the car with license
plate number ABC-123, or the employee with ID 123456). Applications
can submit Structured Query Language (SQL) statements to the
database engine, which returns the results to the application
in the form of a tabular result set. The specific dialect of
SQL supported by SQL Server is called Transact-SQL.
