>>>Hi everybody,
>>>
>>>Do you know, what does it mean Database servers scripting? I am running out of time (need to answer 20 questions till tomorrow). The question states:
>>>In the WEB development environment define the term scripting. Give examples and explain how scripting is used in both web servers and database servers.
>>>=======================
>>>
>>>For web servers I assume, I need to talk about server-side scripting, but what exactly is database servers scripting? I am not sure.
>>
>>The question is not well formulated, IMHO. If you talk about Web development you have both client and server side scripting.
>>
>>Database scripting is another issue and not necesarily related to Web development (although it is usual that both collaborate). Basically, database server scripting is the way to programatically manipulate data and database objects (tables structures, triggers, stored procedures, views, UDFs, etc).
>>
>>You write scripts (or in the case of SQL server, you can make the Enterprise Manager to generate them for you) to alter or create those objects, or to process data.
>>
>>I think the question is quite misleading.
>>
>>Hope this helps,

>Thanks a lot for the reply. Half of the questions are formulated a little bit confusing. I think, you're right, though I'm not 100% sure they meant this. I'm going to proceed with this answer. I believe, I had some SQL Server scripts. Do you think, I should include one of them in the reply?

You have to take a look at the overall goal of this test. I could assume that in this question they refer to examples of scripting types rather than actual code, but in any case, including some code wouldn't hurt. Just be sure to include short samples that you fully understand.

Best luck,
