3 Steps To Gain Your Hard Disk Drive space.!

Microsoft Windows provide inbuilt tools like Disk Cleanup,Optimize and Defragment Drive and Scan for errors options to gain Hard Disk Drive spaces.  

You can also use software instead of these inbuilt tools. Software like 'CCleaner' will clean all temporary files,browsing cache etc.Using 'Defraggler' will make make your drives error free and help running your PC smoothly.Both software are provided by "Piriform".You can also download it.

#1. Use of Disk Cleanup.

Disk Cleanup will wipe out all Temporary internet files,thumbnails,Windows error files etc.Disk Cleanup will appear by right clicking on your C drive > Properties > Disk Cleanup.

You can also use CCleaner to wipe out temp files as shown below to gain space.
Use these three commands in Command Prompt one by one i.e. 
#1. prefetch
#2. temp
#3. %temp%
Select all the files and delete them.This will also keep your PC running faster.


#2. Using 'Optimize and Defragment Drive' or Defraggler(By Piriform).

GOTO 'C drive',right click select properties and select Tools in option pane.Here is the snapshot.First Analyze and then Optimize if notification shown by Windows,as I have.You can schedule your drives to optimize once in a week.But I used to do this twice a week.


#3. Scan for errors.

GOTO 'C drive' > right click Properties > in option pane select Tools.Below is a snapshot that will appear when you select 'Check' in Error Checking.


Using Defraggler you can do this by installing this software.Here is a snapshot.

GraphQL vs REST

  GraphQL   GraphQL is an application layer server-side technology which is developed by Facebook for executing queries with existing data. GraphQL can optimize RESTful API calls. It gives a declarative way of fetching and updating your data. GraphQL helps you to load data from server to client. It enables programmers to choose the types of requests they want to make. REST REST is a software architectural style that defines a set of constraints for creating web services. It is designed specifically for working with media components, files, or hardware device. The full form of REST is Representational State Transfer. ========================================================= Here is the important difference between GraphQL and REST.

DBMS ACID Properties

 1. Atomicity states that database modifications must follow an all or nothing rule 2. Consistency states that only valid data will be written to the database. If, for some reason, a transaction is executed that violates the database's consistency rules, the entire transaction will be rolled back and the database will be restored to a state consistent with those rules.  3. Isolation requires that multiple transactions occurring at the same time not impact each other's execution. For example, if Joe issues a transaction against a database at the same time that Mary issues a different transaction, both transactions should operate on the database in an isolated manner. The database should either perform Joe's entire transaction before executing Mary's or vice-versa. 4.  Durability ensures that any transaction committed to the database will not be lost. Durability is ensured through the use of database backups and transaction logs that facilitate the restoration of committe...
