Ever since I have cracked (IES: AIR 14, GATE: Rank 64) these two sacred exams for Engineers, I feel contented as far as clearing exams are concerned. But I have learnt a lot from the competition inherent in these exams. Lacs of candidates, millions of coaching institutes and zillions of aspiring souls in the form of parents of these candidates. These parents spend lacs on the coaching of their budding engineering sons/daughters just to satisfy themselves that they have done their duty.  According to me, if a candidate has completed his engineering or if candidate is a final year student of Engineering - Coaching is not required atleast for cracking GATE or IES !! GATE: Its an aptitude exam for checking that graduates have acquired requisite skills expected from an qualified Engineer.  IES: Its a comprehensive exam which checks the ability of graduates to take up Group A Services of Govt of India. It is more than aptitude exam and to me it appears to me as attitude exam. E

DBASEIII COMMANDS -Notes Database Organization: SORT, INDEX SORT Command ·    The SORT command gives us the ability to copy the record and structure of a database to another database. ·    Files can be arranged in either ascending order or descending order by using SORT command. ·    Sort command can be used in multiple fields for data arrangement. ·    SORT command creates a new database file. But the new file contains records of the original database file only the order is different. INDEX command ·    Index command can also be used to organize a data file. When you index a database, you ask dBASE to create a separate and smaller file based upon designated fields in the database. ·    The index command does not create a new database file. It creates an index file for the database with a default extension ( . NDX). ·    Unlike SORT command however INDEX does not permit the user to arrange the data in descending order DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SORT AND INDEX COMM
