CASCADE Vs RESTRICT Vs NO ACTION Vs SET NULL in MYSQL

The table containing the foreign key is called the referencing or child table, and the table containing the candidate key is called the referenced or parent table. 

  • SET NULL : Sets the column value to NULL when you delete the parent table row.
  • CASCADE : CASCADE will propagate the change when the parent changes. If you delete a row, rows in constrained tables that reference that row will also be deleted, etc. 
  • RESTRICT : RESTRICT causes you can not delete a given parent row if a child row exists that references the value for that parent row. 
     
  • NO ACTION : NO ACTION and RESTRICT are very much alike. when an UPDATE or DELETE statement is executed on the referenced table, the DBMS verifies at the end of the statement execution that none of the referential relationships are violated. in short child row no concern if parent row delete or update.

Asynchronous Vs. Synchronous Communications

Synchronous (One thread):   1 thread -> |<---A---->||<----B---------->||<------C----->| Synchronous (multi-threaded):   thread A -> |<---A---->| \ thread B ------------> ->|<----B---------->| \ thread C ----------------------------------> ->|<------C----->|

WebSphere MQ Interview Questions

What is MQ and what does it do? Ans. MQ stands for MESSAGE QUEUEING. WebSphere MQ allows application programs to use message queuing to participate in message-driven processing. Application programs can communicate across different platforms by using the appropriate message queuing software products. What is Message driven process? Ans . When messages arrive on a queue, they can automatically start an application using triggering. If necessary, the applications can be stopped when the message (or messages) have been processed. What are advantages of the MQ? Ans. 1. Integration. 2. Asynchrony 3. Assured Delivery 4. Scalability. How does it support the Integration? Ans. Because the MQ is independent of the Operating System you use i.e. it may be Windows, Solaris,AIX.It is independent of the protocol (i.e. TCP/IP, LU6.2, SNA, NetBIOS, UDP).It is not required that both the sender and receiver should be running on the same platform What is Asynchrony? Ans. With messag

Advantages & Disadvantages of Synchronous / Asynchronous Communications?

  Asynchronous Communication Advantages: Requests need not be targeted to specific server. Service need not be available when request is made. No blocking, so resources could be freed.  Could use connectionless protocol Disadvantages: Response times are unpredictable. Error handling usually more complex.  Usually requires connection-oriented protocol.  Harder to design apps Synchronous Communication Advantages: Easy to program Outcome is known immediately  Error recovery easier (usually)  Better real-time response (usually) Disadvantages: Service must be up and ready. Requestor blocks, held resources are “tied up”.  Usually requires connection-oriented protocol
