The Internet Speculative Fiction Database ( ISFDB ) is a database of bibliographic information on science fiction and related genres such as fantasy fiction and horror fiction.

The ISFDB is a volunteer effort, with both the database and wiki being open for editing and user contributions.

While the ISFDB is primarily a bibliographic research database it also contains biographic data for books, authors, series, and publishers that do not meet Wikipedia's notability standards.

The ISFDB database indexes authors, novels, short stories, publishers, awards, and magazines.

As a real-world example of a non-trivial database, the schema and MySQL files from the ISFDB have been used in a number of tutorials.

Both the source code and content of the ISFDB are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License.

The two works are set in the same universe as The Book of the New Sun series that Wolfe inaugurated in 1980 and the Internet Speculative Fiction Database ( ISFDB ) catalogs all three as sub-series of the " Solar Cycle ", along with some other writings.

, Quantcast estimates that the ISFDB is visited by over 32, 000 people monthly.

In March 2003, after having been offline since January, the ISFDB began to be hosted by The Cushing Library Science Fiction and Fantasy Research Collection and Institute for Scientific Computation at Texas A & M University.

The tetralogy was not considered as a whole for any of the annual literary awards compiled by the Internet Speculative Fiction Database ( ISFDB ).

Tales from Earthsea also includes about thirty pages of fictional reference material titled " A Description of Earthsea " ( 2001 ) and catalogued as short fiction by ISFDB.

ISFDB was the winner of the 2005 Wooden Rocket Award in the Best Directory Site category.

ISFDB schema and data were used throughout Chapter 9 of the book Rails For Java Developers.

In 1995, Al von Ruff and Ahasuerus ( a prolific rec. arts. sf. written author ) started to construct the ISFDB, based on experience with the SFCH and the bibliographic format finalized by John Wenn.

The ISFDB went live in September 1995, and a URL was published in January 1996.

In October 1997 the ISFDB moved to SF Site, a major SF portal and review site.

Due to the rising costs of remaining with SF Site, the ISFDB moved to its own domain in December 2002.

In 2007, after resource allocation problems with Texas A & M, the ISFDB became independently hosted on a hired server at the URL listed above.

Some of them are much simpler than full fledged DBMSs, with more elementary DBMS functionality ( e. g., not supporting multiple concurrent end-users on a same database ), with basic programming interfaces, and a relatively small " foot-print " ( not much code to run as in " regular " general-purpose databases ).

They started a project known as INGRES using funding that had already been allocated for a geographical database project and student programmers to produce code.

* Inheritance: Inheritance is often considered one of the most important features of the object database, as it clearly defines the hierarchical relationships between different types of objects at different levels and provides code reusability.

Source code can also be stored in a database ( as is common for stored procedures ) or elsewhere.

At the same time, C ++ legacy code can talk to C / Fortran legacy code and Java database code, and can provide data to a web interface.

The machine had vastly more application functionality, including a number of built-in application programs, an easy to use database, a diary and an alarm clock and featured end-user programmability in the form of the successful Organiser Programming Language ( OPL ), a BASIC-like language which was compiled to intermediate code, in contrast to the interpreters which were commonly available for other consumer computers of the time.

More advanced users could reach into the system machine code routines either via direct machine code, or via calls from OPL, and could manipulate the built-in address database as well as create their own.

However database and directory administrators can take countermeasures against online attacks, for example by limiting the number of attempts that a password can be tried, by introducing time delays between successive attempts, increasing the answer's complexity ( e. g. requiring a CAPTCHA answer or verification code sent via cellphone ), and / or locking accounts out after unsuccessful logon attempts.

Compared to traditional techniques of exchange between an object-oriented language and a relational database, ORM often reduces the amount of code that needs to be written.

EOF provides a level of database transparency not seen in other tools and allows the same model to be used to access different vendor databases and even allows relationships across different vendor databases without changing source code.

This level of abstraction means that database vendors can be switched without it affecting the developer's code.

Remote control manufacturer Universal Electronics Inc. purchased all of Zilog's software & IP assets related to Zilog's universal remote control business, including all ROM code, software, and database of infrared codes.

The following table is from the SEC's site, which allows searching for companies by SIC code in its database of filings.

As well as database schemas and file and record descriptions, the dictionary keeps track of objects such as reports and queries, screen designs, and 4GL code ; it also supports a variety of models at the requirements capture level, such as entity-relationship models and process models.

Both the QPW and Paradox for Windows ( another Borland database application ) codebases were based on Borland's internal pilot project with object oriented UI code for Windows.

: See Linter SQL RDBMS for the database system, Lint ( software ) for the static code analysis tool, and Linter Group for the Australian textiles company.

It uses a SQL Server Compact database to store information about the source code, including IntelliSense information, for better IntelliSense and code-completion support.

The designers of ODBC aimed to make it independent of database systems and operating systems ; an application written using ODBC can be ported to other platforms, both on the client and server side, with few changes to the data access code.

At the time, Sybase called the database server " Sybase SQL Server " and made a deal with Microsoft to share the source code for Microsoft to remarket on the OS / 2 platform as " SQL Server ".

Fortunately, the exceptional wealth of detail afforded by the trial transcripts, as well as a great deal of important contextual documentation, including both secondary and primary sources, is now readily available to everyone in English translation, on the web, via the pedagogical site The original French manuscripts are available on the website of Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec via the database PISTARD ( catalogue code TL4, S1, D4136 ).

Everything, including its NSK operating system and SQL database, was compiled to TNS stack machine code.

Some database management systems offer OCC natively-without requiring special application code.
