Beginner

Q:
26-1.	(c). Oracle8i’s Java Virtual Machine is called Aurora (Aur-ora…get it?)
Q:
26-2.	The statements are: False. Java stored procedures are fundamentally different from Java applets because they are compiled and stored in the database. False. Oracle8i allows you to call Java procedures from PL/SQL, allowing you to take advantage of the hundreds of prebuilt (and third-party) classes. True. You can call Java stored procedures from SQL or PL/SQL via PL/SQL wrappers, from Java applets via JDBC or SQLJ, from Pro*C via OCI (the Oracle Call Interface), and from Visual Basic or Oracle Forms via ODBC (Open Database Connectivity). False. Java is a true object-oriented language; PL/SQL, while it has some OO properties, is primarily a procedural language. True. The Java foundation classes contain a rich set of operations, such as file I/O and networking, that you can exploit in your PL/SQL programs. False. Java and PL/SQL are equals in the database. False. Java is controlled by Javasoft, a division of Sun Microsystems. While Java is more open than PL/SQL, it is still (for now, at any rate) under the control of a single entity. True. Java was designed as a “write once, run anywhere” language, so it’s fairly easy to run on a variety of platforms with very little effort. False. Java programs are compiled into an intermediate form called bytecode that is interpreted by a Java Virtual Machine such as Aurora. True. Java, like C and C++, is case-sensitive.
