TMF
See HP NonStop Transaction Management Facility (TMF)
transaction
A user-defined action that a client program (usually running on a workstation) requests
from a server.
Transaction Management Facility (TMF)
A set of HP software products for NonStop systems that assures database integrity by
preventing incomplete updates to a database. It can continuously save the changes that
are made to a database (in real time) and back out these changes when necessary. It can
also take online "snapshot" backups of the database and restore the database from these
backups.
trigger
A trigger defines a set of actions that are executed automatically whenever a delete,
insert, or update operation occurs on a specified base table.
U
Unicode
A character-coding scheme designed to be an extension of ASCII. By using 16 bits for
each character (rather than ASCII's 7), Unicode can represent almost every character of
every language and many symbols (such as "&") in an internationally standard way,
eliminating the complexity of incompatible extended character sets and code pages.
Unicode's first 128 codes correspond to those of standard ASCII.
uniform resource locator (URL)
A draft standard for specifying an object on a network (such as a file, a newsgroup, or,
with JDBC, a database). URLs are used extensively on the World Wide Web. HTML
documents use them to specify the targets of hyperlinks.
