Code Zone : Connect C++ with Oracle

Oracle C++ Call Interface (OCCI) is an Application Programming Interface (API) that provides C++ applications access to data in an Oracle database. This API is a significant improvement to the Oracle Call Interface (OCI) API as far as ease of use is concerned. Engineers who have written JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) code will find the OCCI API to be quite similar to that of JDBC

1) The table that is used in the example code is:

Article : XML and C#

Introduction
XML, or Extensible Markup Language, is a very popular format used to store and share data. In a nutshell, XML stores information in a tree-based text format that allows both you and I as well as computers to easily read the data.

Article : Nested Functions in C#

If you program in more than one language, sometimes you want to use an phrase or expression from one language in the other, when it does not exist you have to invent it for that language. Nested functions are functions defined within functions. They can be useful for compartmentalizing behavior that is invoked many times and at different places within a function. As well, they can be useful for naming a block of behavior within a function.

Article : Data Types in C#

Also value types are allocated on the stack and are available in most programming languages. Reference types are allocated on the heap and typically represent class instances.
