ActiveX Data Objects

In computing, Microsoft's ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) comprises a set of Component Object Model (COM) objects for accessing data sources.

Adapter pattern

In software engineering, the adapter pattern is a software design pattern (also known as Wrapper, an alternative naming shared with the Decorator pattern) that allows the interface of an existing class to be used as another interface.

ADO.NET

ADO.NET is a data access technology from the Microsoft.NET Framework that provides communication between relational and non-relational systems through a common set of components.

Client (computing)

A client is a piece of computer hardware or software that accesses a service made available by a server.

Client–server model

The client–server model is a distributed application structure that partitions tasks or workloads between the providers of a resource or service, called servers, and service requesters, called clients.

Command (computing)

In computing, a command is a directive to a computer program acting as an interpreter of some kind, in order to perform a specific task.

Computer science

Computer science deals with the theoretical foundations of information and computation, together with practical techniques for the implementation and application of these foundations.

Connection pool

In software engineering, a connection pool is a cache of database connections maintained so that the connections can be reused when future requests to the database are required.

Connection string

In computing, a connection string is a string that specifies information about a data source and the means of connecting to it.

Cost

In production, research, retail, and accounting, a cost is the value of money that has been used up to produce something or deliver a service, and hence is not available for use anymore.

Cursor (databases)

In computer science, a database cursor is a control structure that enables traversal over the records in a database.

Database

A database is an organized collection of data, stored and accessed electronically.

Database server

A database server is a server which houses a database application that provides database services to other computer programs or to computers, as defined by the client–server model.

Database transaction

A transaction symbolizes a unit of work performed within a database management system (or similar system) against a database, and treated in a coherent and reliable way independent of other transactions.

Device driver

In computing, a device driver is a computer program that operates or controls a particular type of device that is attached to a computer.

Java Database Connectivity

Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) is an application programming interface (API) for the programming language Java, which defines how a client may access a database.

Key-value database

A key–value database, or key–value store, is a data storage paradigm designed for storing, retrieving, and managing associative arrays, a data structure more commonly known today as a dictionary or hash.

Microsoft SQL Server

Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database management system developed by Microsoft.

Open Database Connectivity

In computing, Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a standard application programming interface (API) for accessing database management systems (DBMS).

PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL, often simply Postgres, is an object-relational database management system (ORDBMS) with an emphasis on extensibility and standards compliance.

Provider model

The provider model is a design pattern formulated by Microsoft for use in the ASP.NET Starter Kits and formalized in.NET version 2.0.

Relational database management system

A relational database management system (RDBMS) is a database management system (DBMS) based on the relational model invented by Edgar F. Codd at IBM's San Jose Research Laboratory.

Result set

A SQL result set is a set of rows from a database, as well as metadata about the query such as the column names, and the types and sizes of each column.

Select (SQL)

The SQL SELECT statement returns a result set of records from one or more tables.

Server (computing)

In computing, a server is a computer program or a device that provides functionality for other programs or devices, called "clients".

SQL

SQL (S-Q-L, "sequel"; Structured Query Language) is a domain-specific language used in programming and designed for managing data held in a relational database management system (RDBMS), or for stream processing in a relational data stream management system (RDSMS).

Thrashing (computer science)

In computer science, thrashing occurs when a computer's virtual memory resources become saturated, leading to a constant state of paging (rapidly exchanging data in memory for data on disk), to the exclusion of most application-level processing.
