What is Trigger?

A trigger is a SQL procedure that initiates an action when an event (INSERT, DELETE or UPDATE) occurs. Triggers are stored in and managed by the DBMS.Triggers are used to maintain the referential integrity of data by changing the data in a systematic fashion. A trigger cannot be called or executed; the DBMS automatically fires the trigger as a result of a data modification to the associated table. Triggers can be viewed as similar to stored procedures in that both consist of procedural logic that is stored at the database level. Stored procedures, however, are not event-drive and are not attached to a specific table as triggers are. Stored procedures are explicitly executed by invoking a CALL to the procedure while triggers are implicitly executed. In addition, triggers can also execute stored procedures.
Nested Trigger: A trigger can also contain INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE logic within itself, so when the trigger is fired because of data modification it can also cause another data modification, thereby firing another trigger. A trigger that contains data modification logic within itself is called a nested trigger.

How to Prevent Users to Press F5 key (Refresh button)

Some times we want to prevent user to Press F5 key to prevent Page Refresh. You can use the below script.

Access Different interface method with same Name implemented in a class

We use interface and multiple interface inherit it into class, then we implement the methods of interface as it is necessary but what will happen if two interface have the same mentods with same signature and inherited in the same class? Now questions arises from here are : Q1) Both the methods will be implementable which is with the same name and signature? Q2) If methods are implementable then how it is possible? Q3) If it is possible then can we access both the methods? Q3) If it is possible then what is the way to access these methods publically? The answer of all the above question is below: 1) Yes both the methods with same name and signature is implementable. 2) we have to implement interface explicitely preceding with iterface name. 3) Yes it is possible to access the methods. 4) Yes we can

Should have on tips of our lips.........ACID PROPERTIES

Introduction    When ever we process any DML statements transactions are implicitly called. Ie. when ever no begin  transaction statement insert ,delete, update statements will have transaction statements around them implicitly. ACID concept is one of the oldest and important properties of the Database. It sets forward four goals that every database management system must strive to achieve: atomicity, consistency, isolation and durability. No database that fails to meet any of these four goals can be considered reliable. Atomicity Atomicity states that database modifications must follow an "all or nothing" rule. Each transaction is said to be "atomic." If one part of the transaction fails, the entire transaction fails. It is critical that the database management system maintain the atomic nature of transactions in spite of any DBMS, operating system or hardware failure. Consistency Consistency states that only valid data will be written to the database. If,...
