Data Manipulation Language (DML):
Data Manipulation Language (DML): A set of SQL commands used to manipulate and query data in a database, including SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE.
Open source: Software that is publicly available and can be modified and distributed by anyone, often with the goal of promoting collaboration and innovation.
Buffer overflow: An anomaly where a program, while writing data to a buffer, overruns the buffer's boundary and overwrites adjacent memory locations, happen from improper coding when a programmer fails to perform bounds checking.
Bounds checking: A technique used in software development to check that a variable is within a certain range or has a valid value before it is used in the program.
Buffers: Areas of memory set aside to hold data, often while moving it from one section of a program to another, or between programs.
Malformed inputs: Data inputs that do not conform to the expected format or structure.
Semantic integrity: A type of database integrity where each attribute value is consistent with the attribute data type.
Database shadowing: An exact real-time copy of the database or files to another location, often on a different media or geographical location, used to ensure recoverability from data loss on primary systems.
EULAs (End-User License Agreements): Electronic forms where the user clicks "I agree" to the software terms and conditions while installing the software.
The spiral model: A risk-driven process model generator for software projects that has four phases: Planning, Risk Analysis, Engineering, and Evaluation, which a software project repeatedly passes through in iterations.
Crippleware: Partially functioning proprietary software, often with key features disabled, requiring the user to make a payment to unlock the full functionality.
OOM (Object-oriented modeling): A common approach to modeling applications, systems, and business domains by using the object-oriented paradigm throughout the entire development life cycles, heavily used by both OOA and OOD activities in modern software engineering.
4th Generation languages (4GL): Programming languages designed to reduce programming effort and the time it takes to develop software, resulting in a reduction in the cost of software development. They often use a GUI, drag and drop, and then generate the code, and are often used for websites, databases, and reports.
