What’s the difference between PL/SQL and SQL?

If you’ve been doing some work on Oracle databases or just learning more about the RDMS, at some point you’re going to stumble across PL/SQL, or “Procedural Language/SQL“. Most programming curriculum I have seen never touches on anything like PL/SQL so it often comes as a complete surprise – so what exactly is PL/SQL, and how does it differ from SQL?

A Straight Forward Explanation of PL/SQL for Beginners

PL/SQL is basically a programming language that exists on Oracle SQL Servers. It can be viewed as an extension of SQL, offering much greater control over the data in the database and how you interact with it. Other RDMS tend to have their own, similar but very different procedural programming languages like Microsoft SQL Server’s T-SQL and Posgres’ PL/pgSQL.

Reasons Why Programmers Hate PHP

If you’ve spent any time around programmers, you may have noticed that many are vocal opponents of PHP. In many ways, PHP is the Nickelback of programming languages – somehow widely popular, yet widely hated at the same time. In my experience, most people who defend PHP as a good programming language don’t have much experience with other languages and thus have no basis for comparison.

Best Programming Languages for Developing Video Games

Game development is tough compared to other programming tasks, mainly because it also involves game design along with the creation of graphics and high-resolution assets. Besides, you also need to keep in mind the performance of the game while developing these programs.

Too high resolution, and frame rate will drop, thus making gameplay frustrating for the end users. But if the resolution is too low, the users won’t be able to enjoy the game fully and it will look dated. It’s important to find a middle ground, and you must always keep in mind the target platform (Android, iOS, PC, etc) along with the genre to which your game belongs to.

An important question for all aspiring game developers is which programming language is the best for video game development? The answer is it depends on your goals and what platform you want to develop for.
