...Hibernate allows us to do object relational mapping. Simply this mean, conversion of objects derived from java classes inside the application, directly to tables in the database. This will reduce the effort utilized in drawing ER diagrams, normalization (conceptual design) as well as physically writing SQL coding to complete the physical design inside the RDBMS. Hibernate will prevent getting your java code dirty via writing SQL within it. If you use hibernate, no sql within your java application at all. Also hibernate provides:- • Caching of frequently used data record. Its several times efficient than retrieving from the database. • Needn’t opening and closing database connections. This will prevent memory leakage problems • Allow the java application to work with multiple DBMSes. • Small change in the java code will alter the table in the DB. Needn’t dropping the table. • 80% of code reduction in the application program When the required operation was initiated from the application, hibernate is versatile enough to auto generate the required SQL coding Go to this site called www.hibernate.org/downloads After going into the site .. notice some changes Look at the release bundles .. under the release bundle , download the latest version Add those into the library.. all those jar files to the library And then add a xml file and name as hibernate.cfg And then go to project file and search for a file in the name of hibernate.cfg.xml And from that get the...

...beneficial to switch to a more relational database like Microsoft Access. In turn, this will help improve internal communication and help streamline some of the work processes for the sales department. Currently the Party Plates Company uses Microsoft Excel to track personnel data in a spreadsheet inputting small amounts of repetitious data each time a record is created. Although Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access offer some of the same tools such as applying filters, sorting table data, and extracting information, Microsoft Access a relational database, has features to track actions and events in multiple related tables. It offers more built in tools better to organize, track, and to make a relational structure between the tables by using a common field for the purpose of creating queries, forms, and reports large amounts of data than Microsoft Excel. The Party Plates Company would benefit from the use of converting their personnel data from single Microsoft Excel spreadsheets into a relational database, such as Microsoft Access (2012 Microsoft Corporation). There are many benefits that Party Plates would get from using Microsoft Access. The cost is reasonable to the other databases available; this system permits customization of databases making it possible to manage other functions together in the same area and not have to use more than one database. Microsoft Access prevents the duplication of the same information entered into the database. This will help save time entering...

...Internet Databases I do support medical information electronically stored on an Internet database because the advantages out weight the disadvantages. A major benefit is if you or a family member gets into an accident, then the ambulance will have access to yours or a family member’s information. This can save your life because if you cannot remember or unresponsive, then the information will already be in the database. Maybe you are out of town on business and you go to the hospital, then the hospital staff can have access to you information (Macdonald, 2007). Having all your information in the database can help to make sure you are not given the wrong medication, which this can cause serious health problems and even death. Also, this can make it easier for the medical staff to retrieve your information as soon as possible, so you can receive the best medical care. Not have the database can lead to more deaths and medical mistakes because it can take longer for the medical staff to get your information. The disadvantages of the database would be if others were reading you information without your knowledge or consent. With having information stored on the Internet database can steer people to pay for the information, the records getting exchanged because of blackmail, or the information getting stolen. Since there are many hackers that can get into the Internet database and they can get the information to sell them to anyone. Having people reading your information...

...Alfredo Cruz Triana March 12, 2014 * What are the two major components of SQL and what functions do they serve? To answer this question we first have to understand what is SQL and how is it important for computer programming. Based on the information I found researching on this subject, SQL is nothing more than a database programming language designed for managing data held in a relational database management system also know as RDBMS. SQL also became a standard of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in 1986, and of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 1987. One of the major components of SQL is the data definition language or DDL, which manages table and index structure. This component is simply used for defining the database structure. DDL are the create, alter, rename, drop, and truncate statements which will be better explained in another question of this assignment. The other major component is data manipulation language or DML, which is used for retrieving and updating data. Said component is the subset of SQL also used to add and delete data with the use of insert, update, delete, and merge. This database language is immensely useful in the field of computer engineering. Managing data is one of the many important tasks an engineer will have to perform in his or her career. Obtaining this knowledge will ensure a much successful career for years to come. * What are the advantages and disadvantages of SQL? Like everything...

...A Survey of SQL Injection Defense Mechanisms Kasra Amirtahmasebi, Seyed Reza Jalalinia and Saghar Khadem Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden akasra, seyedj, saghar{@student.chalmers.se} Abstract SQL Injection Attack (SQLIA) is a prevalent method which makes it possible for the attackers to gain direct access to the database and culminates in extracting sensitive information from the firm’s database. In this survey, we have presented and analyzed six different SQL Injection prevention techniques which can be used for securing the data storage over the Internet. The survey starts by presenting Variable Normalization and will continue with AMNESIA, Prepared statements, SQL DOM, SQLrand and SQLIA prevention in stored procedures respectively. that determining whether a SQL statement is allowable or not is done by checking the existence of normalized statement in the ready-sorted allowable list. 2.1. Background Many web pages ask users to input some data and make a SQL queries to the database based on the information received from the user i.e. username and passwords. By sending crafted input a malicious user can change the SQL statement structure and execute arbitrary SQL commands on the vulnerable system. Consider the following username and password example, in order to login to the web site, the user inputs his username and password, by clicking on the submit button the following SQL query is generated: SELECT * FROM user_table WHERE user_id = ‘john’ and password...

...1. The concepts of ethics are illustrated in this chapter. Ethics is a concern of humans who have freedom of choice. Responsibility, accountability and liability are issues that are raised by radiation technology. In this case we see that the carelessness or laziness of the medical technician, the lack of training in the handling of the equipment (software), also of the maintenance of the updates of the software can cause the life a person. These errors cause by humans or machines can be prevented: if software had some type of safeguards that control the amount of radiation that they can deliver, if the technician or machine operators were more aware of the message errors, that appear on the screen, and if the hospitals had given the proper training to their staff. Technicians, hospital and the software manufacturer all need to collaborated with each other to create a common set of safety procedures, software features in order to prevent this to happen, all of them are responsible. Each of them had the capacity to prevent this type of things to happen and they all decide to blame each other for their own mistakes. The use of a central reporting agency could reduce the numbers of radiation therapy errors in the future because this enables the state to identify trends and exposures that may create safety concerns. If I were to design electronic software for a linear acceleration, I will certainly put some type of safeguards that control the amount of radiation that they can deliver...
