Program Plan Intro

Database:

  • Database is the organized collection of related data elements that is used to keep the record or track the things or items of interest.
  • It is often defined as the structure to hold the data.
  • It contains the elements like schemas, views, tables (that are linked through foreign keys), queries, and many other elements.
  • Database and database management are interdependent.

Explanation of Solution

Importance of database technology:

  • The importance of database technology is increasing day by day as they are in use everywhere today.
  • This acts as the most important part of e-commerce and other web based applications, and also a heart of organization-wide operational and decision support applications.
  • It is said that databases are used by many work groups and individuals all over the world.
  • Over 10 million databases are active in the world, which reflects the importance of database technology in today’s world.

Example:

Student_idStudent_nameStudent_branch
11XXXIT
12YYYYCivil
13ZZZZElectrical
14AAAAMechanical

Explanation:

 From the above table:

  • “Student_id” specifies the unique id number of the student.
  • “Student_name” specifies the name of students.
  • “Student_branch” specifies the branch of the students.

Therefore, it is clear that recording the student data in such organized way will lead to a systematic management of organization or any other work groups.

6.3A-3. Multiple Access protocols (3). Consider the figure below, which shows the arrival of 6 messages for transmission at different multiple access wireless nodes at times t=0.1, 1.4, 1.8, 3.2, 3.3, 4.1. Each transmission requires exactly one time unit. 1 t=0.0 2 3 45 t=1.0 t-2.0 t-3.0 6 t=4.0 t-5.0 For the CSMA protocol (without collision detection), indicate which packets are successfully transmitted. You should assume that it takes .2 time units for a signal to propagate from one node to each of the other nodes. You can assume that if a packet experiences a collision or senses the channel busy, then that node will not attempt a retransmission of that packet until sometime after t=5. Hint: consider propagation times carefully here. (Note: You can find more examples of problems similar to this here B.] ☐ U ப 5 - 3 1 4 6 2
Just wanted to know, if you had a scene graph, how do you get multiple components from a specific scene node within a scene graph? Like if I wanted to get a component from wheel from the scene graph, does that require traversing still?   Like if a physics component requires a transform component and these two component are part of the same scene node. How does the physics component knows how to get the scene object's transform it is attached to, this being in a scene graph?
