Explain the ACID properties in the context of databases.
ACID properties ensure reliable processing of database transactions. Atomicity: Definition: Ensures that all operations within a transaction are completed successfully. If any operation fails, the entire transaction is rolled back. Example: In a bank transfer, both debit and credit operations must sRead more
ACID properties ensure reliable processing of database transactions.
Atomicity:
Definition: Ensures that all operations within a transaction are completed successfully. If any operation fails, the entire transaction is rolled back.
Example: In a bank transfer, both debit and credit operations must succeed; otherwise, neither should occur.
Consistency:
Definition: Ensures that a transaction takes the database from one valid state to another, maintaining all predefined rules, such as constraints, cascades, and triggers.
Example: A transaction should not violate data integrity rules like unique constraints or foreign keys.
Isolation:
Definition: Ensures that transactions occur independently without interference. Intermediate results of a transaction are not visible to other transactions until completion.
Example: Two transactions updating the same record will not see each other’s incomplete changes.
Durability:
Definition: Ensures that once a transaction is committed, it remains so, even in the event of a system failure.
See lessExample: After a successful bank transfer, the changes should not be lost even if the system crashes immediately afterward.
These properties are critical for maintaining data integrity, reliability, and robustness in databases.
Explain the difference between INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN, and RIGHT JOIN. Provide an example scenario where each type of join would be used.
INNER JOIN: Definition: Returns only the rows that have matching values in both tables. Use Case: To find customers who have placed orders. Example: Selecting customers and their orders where the order exists. LEFT JOIN: Definition: Returns all rows from the left table and the matched rows from theRead more
INNER JOIN:
Definition: Returns only the rows that have matching values in both tables.
Use Case: To find customers who have placed orders.
Example: Selecting customers and their orders where the order exists.
LEFT JOIN:
Definition: Returns all rows from the left table and the matched rows from the right table. If no match, NULL values are returned for columns from the right table.
Use Case: To list all customers and their orders, including those who haven’t placed any orders.
Example: Selecting all customers and their orders, showing NULL for customers without orders.
RIGHT JOIN:
Definition: Returns all rows from the right table and the matched rows from the left table. If no match, NULL values are returned for columns from the left table.Use Case: To find all orders and the customers who placed them, including orders without a customer (e.g., orders made by guest users).
Example: Selecting all orders and the customers who placed them, showing NULL for customers not in the customer table.

Compiled Languages: Translation: The source code is converted into machine code by a compiler before it runs. This machine code is a low-level code that the computer's processor can execute directly. Performance: Programs run faster because the code is already translated into machine language. HowevRead more
Compiled Languages:
See lessTranslation: The source code is converted into machine code by a compiler before it runs. This machine code is a low-level code that the computer’s processor can execute directly.
Performance: Programs run faster because the code is already translated into machine language. However, any change in the code requires recompiling before execution.
Interpreted Languages:
Translation: The source code is read and executed line-by-line by an interpreter during runtime. The interpreter translates each line into machine code and executes it on the fly.
Performance: Programs run slower because the code is being translated during execution. However, this makes it easier to test and debug, as changes can be made and executed immediately without the need for recompilation.
