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.

Java logger

import java.util.logging.Logger;
import java.util.logging.FileHandler;
import java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter;
import java.util.logging.Level;

logger = Logger.getLogger("com.mycompany.conversion"); // logger internal name
FileHandler fileHandler = new FileHandler("basic.conversion.txt", 1000, 1);
fileHandler.setFormatter(new SimpleFormatter());
logger.addHandler(fileHandler);
logger.log(Level.INFO, " Initializing GgWebService");

Strings

C#
string is an alias for String
String: UTF16

Java
UTF16

C++
wchar_t: UTF16 on Windows, UTF32 on Unix
wchar_t is not portable, better to use ICU instead.

stl::string
typedef basic_string < char > string;
typedef basic_string < wchar_t > wstring;
wstring string1 = L"obecně";

CString

ICU
UnicodeString: UTF16 internally. Note that the endianess of UTF-16 is platform dependent.
ICU does not use UCS-2. UCS-2 is a subset of UTF-16. UCS-2 does not support surrogates, and UTF-16 does support surrogates.

Note: most commonly, "Unicode" means UCS-2, but the difference between UCS-2 and UTF16 is not visible from the Java and C# standpoint

Windows TCHAR
#ifdef UNICODE
typedef wchar_t TCHAR;
#else
typedef char TCHAR;
#endif
TCHAR * toto = _T("obecně");

Note: in Java and C#, strings are immutable. String content cannot be changed after the object is created. See StringBuffer (Java) and StringBuilder (C#)
