Exam 14: Database Connectivity and Web Technologies

ODBC is ____________________'s implementation of a superset of the SQL Access Group CLI.

____________________ transactions-the sale of products or services-can take place between businesses or between a business and a consumer.

A database server-side extension is known as Web-to-database middleware.

In the ODBC architecture,a(n)____ is in charge of managing all database connections.

There are currently ____ well-defined Web-server interfaces.

APIs are faster than _________________________ scripts because the code is resident in memory and there is no need to run an external program for each request.

____ is a higher-level object-oriented application interface used to access remote database servers.

____ is a collection of technologies used to access any type of data source and manage the data through a common interface.

Which of the following is a well-defined Web-server interface?

APIs are implemented as dynamic-link libraries that are dynamically invoked when needed.

Whether you purchase online or by standing in line,the system-level transaction details are essentially the same and they require the same basic database structures and relationships.

The CGI is a newer Web-server interface standard that is much more efficient and faster than a dynamic link library (DLL).

An API (application programming interface)is defined as a set of routines,protocols,and tools for building software applications.

Java applications are compiled and stored in the Web browser.

The effects of bad database design,implementation,and management are multiplied in an environment in which transactions may be measured in hundreds of thousands per day,rather than in hundreds per day.

The Web ____________________ is the main hub through which all Internet services are accessed.

Of the following,what is one of the benefits of hardware and software independence of Internet technologies?

Each time the end user clicks a hyperlink,the browser generates a(n)____ GET page request that is sent to the designated Web server,using the TCP/IP Internet protocol.

A(n)____________________ is a unique name by which the data source will be known to ODBC,and therefore,to applications.

______________________________ provides a unified interface to access data from any programming language that uses the underlying OLE-DB objects.
