Order Specification
Position Held: Office Manager
Objective: Developing a system that will help track orders as when they are picked up by the sales team
Specification to the software company:
We (RK Ltd.) are a company dealing in chocolates of six different types namely Bottle Chocolates, Kuddimar, Pen Poppins, Popaye Jelly Choclate, Lollypop and Bada Bar One. We have a sales team of 20 people spread across the state who collect orders from the distributors. And we have a central warehouse where we keep the inventories.
I want you to develop a system such that whenever a particular sale takes place; my sales person should be able to record the same in the system. This should also synchronize with my inventory in the warehouse wherein changes are made accordingly so that the stock available at a particular point of sale is known to all. If there is a sale entry by two sales persons at the same time, the system should accept the
larger amount order first.
Hope you are clear with the requirements.

Why did compiler did compiling?
How was the first compiler ever compiled???
What is a compiler (interpreter)?
A program that translates source code into object code. The compiler derives its name from the way it works, looking at the entire piece of source code and collecting and reorganizing the instructions. Thus, a compiler differs from an interpreter, which analyzes and executes each line of source code in succession, without looking at the entire program. The advantage of interpreters is that they can execute a program immediately. Compilers require some time before an executable program emerges. However, programs produced by compilers run much faster than the same programs executed by an interpreter.
Every high-level programming language (except strictly interpretive languages) comes with a compiler. In effect, the compiler is the language, because it defines which instructions are acceptable.
Evolution of Compiler
First was machine code: First programs written directly in the hardware's machine code
Then was assembler: A program written in machine code to interpret asm into machine code.
Then was a compiler: a set of programs (lexical analyser, parser linker etc) which could convert source code to assembler/machine code.
The first compiler was the A-0, created by Real Admiral Dr. Grace Murphy Hopper in 1949. It was made from assembly.
The A-O series of compilers translated symbolic mathematical code into machine code, and allowed the specification of call numbers assigned to the collected programming routines stored on magnetic tape. One could then simply specify the call numbers of the desired routines and the computer would "find them on the tape, bring them over and do the additions

- Name the database
- Select data from each tables created in the excel sheet
- Press the create button(run it for each table)
- Now select new query table and type in the first query and save the same(do it for the remaining querries as well)
- Click on the view mode
- Run the publish tab and embed the same on the website for each querry
- A url will be generated
