- When u build connection with database through coding, then its ADODB.When u build connection with database through ADO component, then its ADODC. - ADODB is a ActiveXdll and ADODC is a ActiveXcontrol. - No Need to bind with controls in ADODB whereas in ADODC we should bind with controls.

The server version of a Windows operating system is designed to provide more optimized networking services over a network. It can manage domains better and it includes more security feature and data backup support. Workstation versions act merely as clients and therefore do not need to have as much resources when compared to the server versions.

Most of the times compilers will do optimization to the code to speed up the program. For example in the below code, int k = 15;while( k == 15) { // Do something} compiler may think that value of 'k' is not getting changed in the program and replace it with 'while(true)', which will result in an infinite loop. In actual scenario, the value of 'k' may be getting updated from outside of the program. Volatile keyword is used to tell compiler that the variable declared using 'volatile' may be used from outside the current scope, so that compiler won't apply any optimization. This matters only in case of multi-threaded applications. In the above example if variable 'k' was declared using volatile, compiler will not optimize it. In shot, value of the volatile variables will be read from the memory location directly.
