The Imperial Dread Sea Scrolls are a collection of motivational entries that cover a wide variety of seaworthy topics. From inner motivation, to exterior action, these writings help you ponder how effectively you sail the journey we call life.

Serves as a reference manual for the DEFINE language under MVS and CMS. This manual explains how to create and modify a SYSTEM 2000 database definition and includes a detailed description and examples for each DEFINE language command.

Introduces SYSTEM 2000 software and its associated facilities, and shows how to start using SYSTEM 2000 commands. The guide provides hands-on examples that illustrate how to define, access, and update a SYSTEM 2000 database, and guidelines for trying some of the options available with the basic commands.

Documents all aspects of the QUEUE language, previously documented in the three volumes of ACCESS and QUEUE languages manuals. Used together with the QUEST language manual, this technical report provides complete information for using the QUEUE facility in SYSTEM 2000 software. Also supports Version 12.

Documents all aspects of the QUEUE language, previously documented in the three volumes of ACCESS and QUEUE languages manuals. Used together with the QUEST language manual, this technical report provides complete information for using the QUEUE facility in SYSTEM 2000 software. Also supports Version 12.

Explains how to use REPORT language commands to produce reports from information contained in a SYSTEM 2000 database. This manual contains detailed reference material for using the REPORT language commands under MVS and CMS. Also included are examples of each command and examples of complete report composition and actual output.

Documents the Tuning Tools feature for SYSTEM 2000 Multi-User software. The Multi-User status console commands display details about thread, scratch pad, buffer, and queue usage. The Accounting and Diagnostic Log reports display information about system performance or about specific jobs and job types running in the system. Data are extracted from these logs into a SAS data set for use in reports, and they are summarized into historical SAS data sets for more general monthly, quarterly, or annual reports. Also supports Version 12.

Documents the Extended Buffer Manager (XBUF) feature, which provides several caching techniques for both single-user and Multi-User jobs. These techniques include simple "front-end" XBUF macros, with which you can take advantage of dual logging, statistics gathering, cache modeling, and caching of database files without having to employ the more complicated CACHE macro. Later, if you need to tailor caching for special applications, you can refer to the CACHE macro documentation also included in this report. Also supports Version 12.

Concurrency control is the activity of coordinating the actions of processes that operate in parallel, access shared data, and therefore potentially interfere with each other. Recovery is the activity of ensuring that software and hardware failures do not corrupt persistent data. Concurrency control and recovery problems arise in the design of hardware, operating systems, real time systems, communications systems, and database systems, among others. In this book, we will explore concurrency control and recovery problems in database systems.

This chapter describes the architectures of the IBM Informix Extended Parallel Server (XPS) and DB2 Universal Database (DB2 UDB) relational database management system (RDBMS) products.

C# is pronounced as \"C sharp\". It is a new programming language that enables programmers in quickly building solutions for the Microsoft .NET platform.
Today, one cannot, just cannot, afford to ignore C#. It is our considered opinion that it holds immense promise and we are going to try our best, through this book, to help you realize its potential. Be assured, we are not going to teach you just another programming language. It is our intention to help you apply C# in practical situations, to actually implement your newly acquired knowledge on the Net.

Ada 95, the enhanced version of the Ada programming language, is now in place and has attracted much attention in the community since the International Standard ISO/IEC 8652:1995(E) for the language was approved in 1995. The Ada 95 Rationale comes in four parts. The introductory part is a general discussion of the scope and objectives of Ada 95 and its major technical features. The second part contains a more detailed step by step account of the core language. The third part consists of several annexes addressing the predefined environment and specialized application areas. Finally, the three appendices of the fourth part are devoted to the upward compatibility with Ada 83, a few changes since the drafts of the standard were made public, and a summary of requirements.
