Sql Comands DDL , DML ,DCL , TCL

In Sql(Structured Query Language) we have different type of commands available:

DDL

DDL (Data Definition Language)

These statements are used to define the database structure or schema. Some examples:

* CREATE - to create objects in the database
* ALTER - alters the structure of the database
* DROP - delete objects from the database
* TRUNCATE - remove all records from a table, including all spaces allocated for the records are removed
* COMMENT - add comments to the data dictionary
* RENAME - rename an object

DML

Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements are used for managing data within schema objects. Some examples:

* SELECT - retrieve data from the a database
* INSERT - insert data into a table
* UPDATE - updates existing data within a table
* DELETE - deletes all records from a table, the space for the records remain
* MERGE - UPSERT operation (insert or update)
* CALL - call a PL/SQL or Java subprogram
* EXPLAIN PLAN - explain access path to data
* LOCK TABLE - control concurrency

DCL

Data Control Language (DCL) statements. Some examples:

* GRANT - gives user's access privileges to database
* REVOKE - withdraw access privileges given with the GRANT command

TCL

Transaction Control (TCL) statements are used to manage the changes made by DML statements. It allows statements to be grouped together into logical transactions.

* COMMIT - save work done
* SAVEPOINT - identify a point in a transaction to which you can later roll back
* ROLLBACK - restore database to original since the last COMMIT
* SET TRANSACTION - Change transaction options like isolation level and what rollback segment to use

PHP & MQUERY

MQUERY

mQuery is a dynamic image generation script written in PHP with heavy bindings to ImageMagick. I insist that anyone be able to use it, which is why I've decided to make available under an open source BSD 2-clause license.

Why

I often found myself having to strugle with the GUIs of a certain pair of industry standard vector and scalar graphics editors to generate relatively simple images, mQuery aims to streamline the generation of images used within CSS to produce complex designs without the need for an editor.

It's not a complete replacement, especially for heavy path-based designs and artwork that requires constant visual feedback, but in most cases a finely crafted URI can produce the same results with much less effort, while minimizing the grunt work that coincides with evolutionary-design to a simple query tweak.

mQuery is arguably even more useful for manipulating images that must be generated dynamically, such as user-submitted photos.

Known Issues

mQuery is currently in pre-alpha. Not ready for production use. Some vital features are not fully implemented. Here is a list of known issues:

* stroke() on groups strokes all subshapes, rather than the collective group.
ImageMagick's stroking is limited to only a center-aligned variable width stroke. To make aligned, offset, inner and outer strokes I composite multiple center strokes of different width together. It's hacky and creates a lot of problems. I should be able to make this work with groups but I will have to rewrite the stroke algorithm when I get the time.
* 1 pixel strokes are too wide or too thin.
Again the stroke() implementation is hacky. I think this is a rounding error in ImageMagick. The only workaround right now is to use decimal widths like 1.1 or 0.9 to get it looking right. I am still debating weather or not to do this number fudging in the implementation.
* Text gets cut off
Apparently some fonts don't respect their bounding box and exceed the clipping region. Please let me know if you have a particular font that does this a lot, as it would help me debug the problem. I attemped to fix this by painting into a buffer 1 pixel too large on each side and correcting if any of the sides were not empty, but it was too slow, and tended to make the resulting font size incredibly small (explains why the fonts do it). I think the best solution may be to allow the overflow and then give text shapes special treatment for painting, but this is complicated and requires some architectural changes. It will also create new corner cases in certain brushes.
* No multiline text
I have to implement this on my side because ImageMagick's implementation is buggy. Different text alignments paint strokes in the wrong position.
* contrast() has a limited range
For some reason this is how ImageMagick is. I might be able to make this work with composition, or if need be an fx expression. It's on the list.
* rotate()
The ImageMagick rotate API doesn't take an origin, so I need to do the math myself and haven't gotten to it yet.

Error Handing in PHP

Here are some of the Error Handling Techniques

It is important to configure PHP's error reporting settings depending on which phase of development the web application is currently in. Generally, the programmer wants to see all warnings and errors in the web browser during the initial phase of development, and later, once the site has launched, send error messages to a log file so that visitors do not see them.
Error Reporting for Development

During development, you want to display all errors and warnings to the browser.

// Report all PHP errors
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);

// Set the display_errors directive to On
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

Error Reporting for Production

In production, you may want to lower the error reporting level and not display errors to the browser.

// Report simple running errors
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

// Set the display_errors directive to Off
ini_set('display_errors', 0);

// Log errors to the web server's error log
ini_set('log_errors', 1);

Logging errors

You can use the PHP function error_log() to send errors to your own log file or an e-mail address. This is particularly important since most developers on campus do not have access to the web servers logs. Used in conjunction with a custom error handler, error_log() is especially useful.

// Destinations
define("ADMIN_EMAIL", "test@test.com");
define("LOG_FILE", "/error/errors.log");

// Destination types
define("DEST_EMAIL", "1");
define("DEST_LOGFILE", "3");

/* Examples */

// Send an e-mail to the administrator
error_log("Please fix this!", DEST_EMAIL, ADMIN_EMAIL);

// Write the error to our log file
error_log("Error", DEST_LOGFILE, LOG_FILE);

Create a custom error handler

It is possible to override PHP's default mechanism for handling errors. This option gives the programmer full control over what actions to take when an error is raised. Note that since this method completely replaces PHP's native functionality, it is important to pay special care when writing a custom error handler.

// Destinations
define("ADMIN_EMAIL", "test@test.com");
define("LOG_FILE", "/error/errors.log");

// Destination types
define("DEST_EMAIL", "1");
define("DEST_LOGFILE", "3");

/**
* my_error_handler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline)
*
* Author(s): thanosb, ddonahue
* Date: May 11, 2008
*
* custom error handler
*
* Parameters:
* $errno: Error level
* $errstr: Error message
* $errfile: File in which the error was raised
* $errline: Line at which the error occurred
*/

function my_error_handler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline)
{
switch ($errno) {
case E_USER_ERROR:
// Send an e-mail to the administrator
error_log("Error: $errstr \n Fatal error on line $errline in file $errfile \n", DEST_EMAIL, ADMIN_EMAIL);

// Write the error to our log file
error_log("Error: $errstr \n Fatal error on line $errline in file $errfile \n", DEST_LOGFILE, LOG_FILE);
break;

case E_USER_WARNING:
// Write the error to our log file
error_log("Warning: $errstr \n in $errfile on line $errline \n", DEST_LOGFILE, LOG_FILE);
break;

case E_USER_NOTICE:
// Write the error to our log file
error_log("Notice: $errstr \n in $errfile on line $errline \n", DEST_LOGFILE, LOG_FILE);
break;

default:
// Write the error to our log file
error_log("Unknown error [#$errno]: $errstr \n in $errfile on line $errline \n", DEST_LOGFILE, LOG_FILE);
break;
}

// Don't execute PHP's internal error handler
return TRUE;
}


// Use set_error_handler() to tell PHP to use our method
$old_error_handler = set_error_handler("my_error_handler");

Error Report levels

These error report levels are the different types of error the user-defined error handler can be used for:
Value Constant Description
2 E_WARNING Non-fatal run-time errors. Execution of the script is not halted
8 E_NOTICE Run-time notices. The script found something that might be an error, but could also happen when running a script normally
256 E_USER_ERROR Fatal user-generated error. This is like an E_ERROR set by the programmer using the PHP function trigger_error()
512 E_USER_WARNING Non-fatal user-generated warning. This is like an E_WARNING set by the programmer using the PHP function trigger_error()
1024 E_USER_NOTICE User-generated notice. This is like an E_NOTICE set by the programmer using the PHP function trigger_error()
4096 E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR Catchable fatal error. This is like an E_ERROR but can be caught by a user defined handle (see also set_error_handler())
8191 E_ALL All errors and warnings, except level E_STRICT (E_STRICT will be part of E_ALL as of PHP 6.0)

Curl Setting in PHP

Below are the steps to configure the CURL option

1. Locate XAMPP install directory
2. open php/php.ini (probably C:\xampp\php\php.ini
or C:\ program files\apachefriends\xampp\php\php.ini)
3. do a search for the word ‘curl’ and uncomment (remove the leading semicolon) that line
before removing ;extension=php_curl.dll
after removing: extension=php_curl.dll
4. save & close
5. open apache/bin/php.ini (probably C:\xampp\apache\php.ini
or C:\ program files\apachefriends\xampp\apache\php.ini)
6. search for curl, uncomment as before (step 3)
7. save & close
8. Do not forget!javascript:void(0) restart apache
