This is why the choice of programming language is so important from the outset. Database Application Logic Oracle PL/SQL SQL Server T-SQL Db2 SQL PL PostgreSQL PL/pgSQL MySQL stored program language HammerDB Stored Procedures. For this reason we need to implement our database sessions in the form of operating system threads.

First, a bit of operating-system design context. It is desirable for a program to be able to go to sleep and then wake up a little while later. Ideally the CPU goes to sleep when Sleep(1) is called, in order to save power, so how does the operating system (OS) wake your thread if the CPU is sleeping?

C++ safety, in context

Sutter's Mill

MARCH 11, 2024

I chair the ISO C++ standards committee and I work for Microsoft, but these are my personal opinions and I hope they will invite more dialog across programming language and security communities. When I say “safety” unqualified here, I mean programming language safety, which benefits both software security and software safety.

They have a clear input and output definition, and often a schema as well. A message-oriented implementation requires an efficient messaging backbone that facilitates the exchange of data in a reliable and secure way with the lowest latency possible. Leverage the convergence of fast data and microservices.

The Pursuit of Appiness

Alex Russell

SEPTEMBER 20, 2020

The closer one looks, the less a definition of "appiness" can be pinned down to specific technologies. "Appiness" is an illusion, an arbitrary line drawn to include programs built on some platforms but not others, and all of today's OSes allow multiple platforms to expose "real apps."

A case for lease-based, utilitarian resource management on mobile devices

The majority (80%) of FAB, LHB, and LUB are due to clear programming mistakes (Bug), while the majority (77%) of EUB are due to design trade-offs (non-Bug). If an app has been using resources efficiently, the lease manager increases the lease term, reverting back to the 5-second lease on any sign of misbehaviour. Earn my trust.

If the notification system knew that the incoming memory was already zeroed then it wouldn’t need to zero it, and it wouldn’t get faulted in, and life would be much better. Hey Microsoft – I’ve got a cool idea for how you can make file notifications more efficient. You know where to find me. Weaponizing this knowledge.

SQL Server always checks I/O completion status for any operating system error conditions and proper data transfer size and then handles errors appropriately. Torn pages generally arise after system outages where the subsystem does not complete the entire 8-KB I/O request. This utility is located on the Microsoft Web site.
