About BTree

Hash clusters were introduced in Oracle 7 as an alternative way of indexing
a table. Instead of randomly storing rows in arbitrary table blocks and
using indexes to locate them (using a B-tree search), hash cluster rows are
stored according to the key values. Each row's location is derived by its
key value.

OO survival kit

If one has:
class MyImplement : public MyInterface

If the destructor of MyInterface is not virtual, then the destructor of MyImplement is not called in this case:

MyInterface * myInterface = new MyImplement();
delete myInterface;

GAC / .NET SDK

gacutil to manipulate the Global Assembly Cache can be found in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin

At first I tried to install the .NET SDK, but it was telling me that it was installed already. It is actually installed with Visual Studio. When you start the VisualStudio Command Prompt, the path to it is set already.
