Sunday 16th
Today was very similar to yesterday. 2 sessions each comprising of a short lecture followed by answering a selection of questions. The only difference with yesterday is that Stuart also did a session on exam strategy (see follow-up posting).
Session 4 (SQL) covered:
Cursors
Sub-queries
Views
Handling NULL
Keys
Data insertion
Queries
Wildcards
Group By
Ordering results
Joins
SET operations
Access control
Session 5 covered:
Distribution models
Distribution architectures
Technology drivers
Technology terminology
Multi-dimensional models
Information integration
Markup fundamentals
XML document structure
XML versus relational data
Embedded SQL concepts
Embedded SQL Statements
ODBC
JDBC – executing SQL
The weekend has proved very useful as it has highlighted to me where my weak areas are and given me some clear ideas as to how to proceed. My thanks goes out to Stuart Hutchison, a most excellent tutor.

Interesting posts regarding the M359 exam.
I have been unable to attend any revision weekends or even day schools (my region seems to have taken the idea of distance learning to its extremities.)
so I was grateful to read your posts. Thanks. Good luck for oct 9th.
