...1. Look up the history of SQL. How many revisions of the standard have there been? What was added in the most recent one? The language structure English Query (SEQUEL) was developed by IBM corporation, Inc. In 1979 Relational Software, Inc. introduced the first commercially available implementation of SQL. Today SQL is accepted as the standard RBDMS language. The latest SQL standard was adopted in July 1999 and is often called SQL:99 The formal names of this standards are: * ANSI X3.135-1999, “Database Language SQL”, Parts 1 (“Framework”), 2(“Foundation”), and 5(“Bindings”) * ISO/IEC9075:1999, “Database Language SQL”, Parts 1 (“Framework”), 2(“Foundation”), and 5(“Bindings”) 2. A recent trend for major commercial database developers is to offer free “Express” versions of their databases. Microsoft has SQL Express; Oracle has Oracle Express, and DB2 Express. Go to the company websites, and look up these Express editions. What features does each one have? What limits do they have? How do they compare to each other? New in SQL Server Express 2012: SQL Server Express LocalDB SQL Server Express LocalDB LocalDB is a new lightweight deployment option for SQL Server Express Edition with fewer prerequisites that installs very quickly. This makes it ideal for developers who need an embedded SQL Server database for desktop applications or tools. LocalDB has all of the same programmability features as SQL Server Express, but runs in-process with applications and not as a...

...Everyday enormous amount of data is being produced worldwide. Companies capture trillions of bytes of information about their customers, suppliers, and operations. IT organizations are exploring the analytics technologies to explore web-based data sources and extract value from the social networking boom. The organizations are trying to leverage Big Data by trying to make sense from the data that they have and by securing it. Already the forward thinking players of the banking, insurance, manufacturing, retail, wholesale, healthcare, communications, transportation, construction, utilities, and education are successfully using big data by exploiting meaningful information from all the data they have and using that information in formulating their strategic moves. The Volvo Car Corporation (VCC) is the well-known auto manufacturer founded in 1927 in Gothenburg, Sweden. The Volvo Car Corporation drives product design, quality, cost reduction, and customer satisfaction through data-driven decision-making. The aggregate data volume is large and growing rapidly. In keeping with then-prevailing standards for IT architecture, the company originally began collecting this data in a dedicated data mart. The Volvo Car Corporation wanted to create an effective marketing campaign to tie in with the popular Twilight movie franchise and to create an interactive game would connect to global audience. The idea for the game was that users could play to win a new Volvo XC60 car. In an effort...

...Introduction: Ever since the concept of globalization has come into existence, the studies of cultural differences, dimensions and attitudes have began to take place and different scientists and observers started coming out with their own set of discoveries and observations (McGregor, 2004). The main reason behind cultural difference and dimensions started when workers of different countries started working together on unified projects and conflicts started arising between the people of different races and culture (Kotler, 2008). Keeping in view of such situations, Dutch Sociologist Gerard Hofstede came up with a study named as Geert Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions in which he laid stress upon five aspects naming Power Distance Index, Individualism, Masculinity, Uncertainty avoidance index and Long term Orientation. The case study in this paper focuses more towards the cultural difference between employees of Disneyland that are located in different countries. Using Hofstede’s 4 culture dimension, highlighting main cultural differences between United States and France: Disneyland is an American Idea of a theme park which serves as a recreational place for children and families. This theme park originally started from Anaheim, California (United States) and later on after receiving massive response from visitors all around the globe, the directors of the company started off with opening similar type of theme parks with the same name of Disneyland in Orlando (US), Tokyo (Japan)...

...The Cathedral and the Bazaar Eric Steven Raymond cf text and copyright at: www.tuxedo.org/~esr/writings Abstract I anatomize a successful open-source project, fetchmail, that was run as a deliberate test of some surprising theories about so=ware engineering suggested by the history of Linux. I discuss these theories in terms of two fundamentally di:erent development styles, the “cathedral” model of most of the commercial world versus the “bazaar” model of the Linux world. I show that these models derive from opposing assumptions about the nature of the so=ware-debugging task. I then make a sustained argument from the Linux experience for the proposition that “Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow”, suggest productive analogies with other self-correcting systems of selfish agents, and conclude with some exploration of the implications of this insight for the future of so=ware. 1 The Cathedral and the Bazaar Linux is subversive. Who would have thought even five years ago (1991) that a world-class operating system could coalesce as if by magic out of part-time hacking by several thousand developers scattered all over the planet, connected only by the tenuous strands of the Internet? Certainly not I. By the time Linux swam onto my radar screen in early 1993, I had already been involved in Unix and open-source development for ten years. I was one of the first gnu contributors in the mid-1980s. I had released a good deal of open-source so=ware onto the net, developing...

...Cultural diversity in organizations A study on the view and management on cultural diversity Authors: Supervisor: Dhakshayene Holmgren Anneli Jonsson Maj- Britt Johansson- Lindfors Student Umeå School of Business and Economics Spring semester 2013 Master thesis, two-year, 15 hp ABSTRACT Cultural diversity is a subject that has been getting growing attention not just internationally but also in Sweden in the 21st century. The globalization of economies and the migration has dramatically increased opportunities while also affecting organizations in a manner that it requires it to be more open and accommodative towards a heterogeneous working environment. Unfortunately many companies do not see the advantages that cultural diversity could bring and how a well managed cultural diversity could essentially achieve competitive edge in the market. Therefore there is little is to be found regarding how organizations today view and manage a culturally diverse workforce, especially in a Swedish working environment. The lack of this type of research in a Swedish context creates a possible research gap and leads to this study in investigating the organizations in Västerbotten and their view and management of cultural diversity. Thus the research question: How do Swedish organizations view and manage cultural diversity? In order to gain insights in to this question, previous research has been investigated and some main theories have been selected. Through this it has been found...

...ork2012 - 2013 Catalog A Message from the President “Sullivan University is truly a unique and student success focused institution.” I have shared that statement with numerous groups and it simply summarizes my basic philosophy of what Sullivan is all about. When I say that Sullivan is “student success focused,” I feel as President that I owe a definition of this statement to all who are considering Sullivan University. First, Sullivan is unique among institutions of higher education with its innovative, career-first curriculum. You can earn a career diploma or certificate in a year or less and then accept employment while still being able to complete your associate, bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree by attending during the day, evenings, weekends, or online. Business and industry do not expand or hire new employees only in May or June each year. Yet most institutions of higher education operate on a nine-month school year with almost everyone graduating in May. We remained focused on your success and education, and continue to offer our students the opportunity to begin classes or to graduate four times a year with our flexible, year-round full-time schedule of classes. If you really want to attend a school where your needs (your real needs) come first, consider Sullivan University. I believe we can help you exceed your expectations. Since words cannot fully describe the atmosphere at Sullivan University, please accept my personal invitation to visit and experience...
