hello karthi_ind,

Just a small suggestion. If we search these type of questions in the manual or in the net you will not only get answers for your questions, but also while searching you may get many details you know. Even i did the same at the start of my career. Really i gained lot in that way.

Just curious!!!!!!!! what is anbudan. Is it first name or something else?

Thanks,
Anu

hai.

1. view is a table which is not a separate table and resides as an window in the base table. by a view we are enabled to view the portion of the base table and it is for security purpose in the real time .

2. bind- it is the process of compiling the queries.
plan- the compiled form of queries.
package- collection of plan or the bound produce of a plan. so, if there are more than one plan for a transaction, what happens is, these plans in turn undergo a binding and the package is created.
collection- it is the name given to a set of logically related plan. you don't confuse. these are just logical names and they do not really reside physically.

3. buffer manager- it is responsible for transfer of data from the virtual and real memory. it follows the concepts of read ahead buffering and look aside buffering about which i don't have any idea. if you've just share with me.

4. runtime supervisor is a part of main memory which is responsible for the actual execution of my plan. whenever there is a request for the execution of any sql query, it is my runtime supervisor's responsiblity to appropriately invoke the corresponding plan/package.
5. there are 3 types of locks namely , shared,update and exclusive.

6.isolation level on my bind package designates the level my bind package containing the lock for the table is isolated. there are 3 isolation levels namely cursor stability(cs), repeatable read(rr), uncommited read(ur).

7. QMF is a tool similar to that of SPUFI. Both are intended for testing the queries before they are coded as embeded in the cobol programs.


i hope these info will suffice.. corrections are welcomed.........

it is an alternate way to view the table.In real time not all people will be given access to the base table.In such cases priveliges are given only to handle with views.u can extarct all the info that u requirefron the views.This is done in order to maintain the data security and unwanted access to the data.
