  2. Comparison of open-source and closed-source software

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open-source...

    The primary business model for closed-source software involves the use of constraints on what can be done with the software and the restriction of access to the original source code. [6] This can result in a form of imposed artificial scarcity on a product that is otherwise very easy to copy and redistribute. The result is that an end-user is ...

  3. Database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database

    Formally, a "database" refers to a set of related data accessed through the use of a "database management system" (DBMS), which is an integrated set of computer software that allows users to interact with one or more databases and provides access to all of the data contained in the database (although restrictions may exist that limit access to particular data).

  4. Database-centric architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database-centric_architecture

    Even an extreme database-centric architecture called RDBMS-only architecture [6] [7] has been proposed, in which the three classic layers of an application are kept within the RDBMS. This architecture heavily uses the DBPL (Database Programming Language) of the RDBMS. An example of software with this architecture is Oracle Application Express ...

    Data exchange routines and automatisms are the most important reason to develop a CSDB, to ensure a process reliability. The import and export routines can be fully automated or be performed via CSDB operator. The components of a Data exchange package are for example: – one data dispatch note (DDN) – a certain amount of DataModules (DMs) and

  6. Outline of databases - Wikipedia

    The name is commonly used when creating a query to the database. The Database Source Name (DSN) does not have to be the same as the filename for the database. For example, a database file named "friends.mdb" could be set up with a DSN of "school". Then DSN "school" would then be used to refer to the database when performing a query. Data Source ...

    Another example of NOMAD's power is illustrated by Nicholas Rawlings in his comments for the Computer History Museum about NCSS (see citation below). He reports that James Martin asked Rawlings for a NOMAD solution to a standard problem Martin called the Engineer's Problem : "give 6% raises to engineers whose job ratings had an average of 7 or ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_blob

    In the context of free and open-source software, proprietary software only available as a binary executable is referred to as a blob or binary blob.The term usually refers to a device driver module loaded into the kernel of an open-source operating system, and is sometimes also applied to code running outside the kernel, such as system firmware images, microcode updates, or userland programs.

    Applications influence software engineering by pressuring developers to solve problems in new ways. For example, consumer software emphasizes low cost, medical software emphasizes high quality, and Internet commerce software emphasizes rapid development. Business software.
