CST 363: Week 6

 Summarize what you have learned this week. 

This week we learned that there are various types of programming languages, including imperative and declarative. Imperative languages utilize control flow statements while declarative do not. Two languages that fall under imperative language include procedural and object-oriented. We also learned how to use embedded SQL using C programming language, about a variety of application programming interfaces, and how to establish connections between MySQL Workbench databases and IntelliJ. Once a connection is established, statements or prepared statements can be used to insert, update, and delete data within a SQL database. We learned that some APIs will not only support drivers for databases, but also other APIs as well. We've learned that statements and prepare statements can be reutilized to insert, update, and delete multiple rows of data. An important detail is that each statement, result set and connection should be explicitly closed to release resources and prevent memory leaks.
