Thin & OCI Drivers

Oracle provides two main types of drivers.

The OCI driver.

The OCI (type 2) driver consists of java wrappers to the low-level Oracle Call Interface (OCI) libraries used by utilities like SQL*Plus to access the database server. The OCI driver offers potentially better performance that the thin driver. It however requires the OCI libraries to be installed on the local machine.

The "thin" driver.

Also referred to as type 4 driver, the thin driver is a pure Java implementation of Oracle's networking protocol (Net8). Being self-contained, it may be used on any machine with--or without Oracle installed--or even distributed with application classes in an applet.

Arrays.sort() and Collections.sort() NullPointerException

While sorting an array by using Arrays.sort()  or using Collections.sort() for sorting a list you can encounter a NPE (NullPointerException) . You might be thinking what went wrong ? So one of element in the array which have been  passed for sorting contains the null element. Similar with the list case also .So check for a null entry in your array or list before passing to these methods as parameter. Example 1 : String[] strarr={"abc", "def" , null}; Arrays.sort(strarr); Output 1: -------- Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at java.lang.String.compareTo(String.java:1167) at java.lang.String.compareTo(String.java:92) at java.util.Arrays.mergeSort(Arrays.java:1144) at java.util.Arrays.sort(Arrays.java:1079) at Test.main(Test.java:7) Example 2: List strlist=new ArrayList (); strlist.add("abc"); strlist.add("def"); strlist.add(null); Collections.sort(strlist); Output 2: ----------

Sentimental Analysis : PART 1

Sentimental Analysis refers to identify, extract, quantify, and study affective states and subjective information. It helps to identify public emotion about certain topics/products. Humans are fairly intuitive when it comes to interpreting the tone of a piece of writing, but teaching a machine to identify emotion is tough. A negative sentence can be assumed by machine as positive.  For example, In case of sarcastic sentence "I have lost my watch again. That's brilliant", humans can easily tell that it's a negative emotion framed in sarcasm but machine can assume that it's a positive sentence without knowing the context. Applying the contextual information, machine can identify it to be negative emotion. Sentimental Analysis helps to gain insight from social data and to understand the consumer attitude and act accordingly.  VOC(Voice Of The Customer) applications are primarily used by companies to determine what a customer is saying about a product o
