PL/SQL

Image
1. What is PL/SQL? How is it different from SQL? Answer: PL/SQL (Procedural Language/SQL) is Oracle's procedural extension to SQL. It allows you to write programs with procedural constructs like loops, conditions, and exceptions, which are not possible in SQL. While SQL is used to query and manipulate data, PL/SQL provides more control, flexibility, and the ability to define logic in the database layer.   2. What are the different types of PL/SQL blocks? Answer: PL/SQL blocks can be of three types: Anonymous Block: A block of code that is executed without being stored in the database. Named Blocks (Procedures/Functions): Stored in the database with a name. Packages: A collection of procedures, functions, and variables grouped together.   3. What is the purpose of the "DECLARE" section in PL/SQL? Answer: The DECLARE section is used to declare variables, constants, cursors, and exceptions before the executable part of the PL/SQL block. It is optional, and if not needed, ...

Binary Search

What is Binary Search? Binary search is an efficient algorithm for finding a target value within a sorted array (or list). It works by repeatedly dividing the search interval in half, allowing you to skip over large portions of the array, making it much faster than a linear search, which checks each element one by one. How Does Binary Search Work? Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how binary search operates: 1.  Start with the entire array : Define the leftmost ( l eft ) and rightmost ( right ) boundaries of the array. 2.  Find the middle element : Calculate the middle index of the current search range. 3.  Compare the middle element with the target : o  If the middle element is equal to the target, the search is complete, and the target is found. o  If the target is smaller than the middle element, focus on the left half of the array (ignore the right half). o  If the target is larger than the middle element, focus on the right half of the array (ignore t...

Software Development Life Cycle

Image
The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a systematic approach designed to produce high-quality software. By breaking down the development process into clear phases, teams can ensure that they meet user needs while staying on schedule and within budget. Let’s explore each step of the SDLC. 1. Requirement Gathering and Analysis The first step is to understand what the stakeholders need. This means talking to clients, users, and team members to collect all necessary information. By holding meetings, surveys, and brainstorming sessions, developers create a Requirement Specification Document . This document serves as the base for the whole project, showing what the software should do. 2. Planning After gathering requirements, the next step is planning. Here, the team defines the project scope, estimates costs, and decides how to allocate resources. They also look for possible risks that could arise during development. The outcome is a Project Plan that keeps everyone aligned througho...
