Program Plan Intro

SQL:

  • SQL stands for “Structured Query Language”.
  • The current version of SQL is “ANSI SQL – 92”.
  • SQL is not a programming language. It is text-based and it is also called as data sublanguage.
    • In order to get SQL as a complete programming language, it should be included in scripting languages like Java, C#, and so on.
  • It contains constructs which are used to define and process database. They are executed using DBMS-supplied command prompt.
  • Some of the DBMS products provide GUI tools in order to perform tasks are as follows:
    • SQL Server
    • Oracle Database
    • MySQL

Data Definition Language (DDL):

  • It is used for creating tables and other structures. They perform operations like, creating tables, modifying database, and removing database.

Explanation of Solution

Table Creation:

Creating table comes under Data Definition Language (DDL).

  • The “CREATE” command is employed for establishing databases on our platform by constructing tables in an already existing database.

The Syntax for creating table is as follows:

CREATE TABLE TABLE_NAME (

  Column1 datatype,

  Column2 datatype,

  …

);

Example:

Creating table “EMP_1”:

 CREATE TABLE EMP_1 ( EMP_NUM CHAR(3) , EMP_LNAME VARCHAR(15) , EMP_FNAME VARCHAR(15) , EMP_INITIAL CHAR(1), EMP_HIREDATE DATE, JOB_CODE CHAR(3));

Explanation:

 The above query is used to create a table structure named “EMP_1” . The attribute “EMP_NUM”, “JOB_CODE”, “EMP_LNAME” and “EMP_FNAME” are declared.

In this assignment, you will implement a multi-threaded program (using C/C++) that will check for Prime Numbers and Palindrome Numbers in a range of numbers. Palindrome numbers are numbers that their decimal representation can be read from left to right and from right to left (e.g. 12321, 5995, 1234321). The program will create T worker threads to check for prime and palindrome numbers in the given range (T will be passed to the program with the Linux command line). Each of the threads works on a part of the numbers within the range. Your program should have some global shared variables: • numOfPrimes: which will track the total number of prime numbers found by all threads. numOfPalindroms: which will track the total number of palindrome numbers found by all threads. numOfPalindromic Primes: which will count the numbers that are BOTH prime and palindrome found by all threads. TotalNums: which will count all the processed numbers in the range. In addition, you need to have arrays…
