A precompiler is a tool that allows programmers to embed SQL statements in high-level source programs like C, C++, COBOL, etc. The precompiler accepts the source program as input, translates the embedded SQL statements into standard Oracle runtime library calls, and generates a modified source program that one can compile, link, and execute in the usual way. Examples are the Pro*C Precompiler for C, Pro*Cobol for Cobol, SQLJ for Java etc. 3. What is difference between procedure and function. A function always returns a value, while a procedure does not. When you call a function you must always assign its value to a variable. 4. What are things you do to reduce patch timing ? You can take advantage of following - # Merging patches via admrgpch # Use various adpatch options like nocompiledb or nocompilejsp # Use defaults file # Staged APPL_TOP during upgrades # Increase batch size (Might result into negative ) 5.

Problem Statement: Today most of the library is using either manual system for tracking the day to day activity or they are using desktop, stand-alone system to manage the day to day activity. In this proposed online eLibrary Management System it will run in internet or intranet and user can online check the book availability, they can search the books, library staff can issue, receive book, management can check the report from different location via internet. It can be used multi location also as it can be hosted in central location. Why eLibrary? The online eLibarary Management System is used to overcome the entire problem which they are facing currently, and making complete atomization of manual or semi automatic process of library management system. • Improve the search facility and members and library staff should get all the information in a second. • Should capable to use bar code reader for easy way to do book issue and receive process. • Library member should have limited and read-only access to the system via internet. • Library member should able to view member profile and transaction data pertinent only to them. • The supervisor should be able to enter or update master information like publisher’s details, authors and book details in one...
