Getting Startedwith pureQuery

A
Appendix A - Solutions to the review questions
Chapter 1
1. The four facets that comprise the pureQuery platform include: 1) APIs 2) runtime 3)
application development environment 4) monitoring services .
2. False. pureQuery client monitoring capabilities can help developers find potential
hot spots in their SQL so they can address problems in the development cycle or
alert their DBA to the problem.
3. False. Although pureQuery is recommended as an alternative to other frameworks
for high performance Java applications, it can also be used to optimize applications
for which those other frameworks are required. Thus, it can be considered an
enhancer rather than a competitor.
4. Although most development benefits are available for Java applications, .NET
applications can also take advantage of pureQuery for static SQL execution and
the performance and security benefits that come with that.
5. Client optimization (so called because these optimizations are occurring on the
database client side rather than using database server optimizations such as
access path optimizations).
6. B
7. C.
8. C. (For .Net development against DB2, you can use Visual Studio Add-ins.)
9. B.
10. D. True at the time this was written, but support for SQL Server is planned to be
added in the future. .

1. Optim Development Studio can be installed using the following options:
A. Web Install with new Installarion Manager
B. Web Install using existing Installation Manager
