Why MNC's use Linux over Windows?

Now recently I've been going through this very question that- Even though Windows is better than Linux then why MNC'S use Linux over Windows? 

And have you ever wondered why MNC'S(Multi-National Companies) use Linux over Windows?


Now the simple answer to this question would be Linux is an open source system.

An open source system is the one which is free to use by public like those tons of apps on the Google Playstore.


But thats not the only thing Linux is much more powerful than we could ever think; like-

  • Linux is user friendly
  • Many Gaming community supports Linux
  • Linux is available in different languages and so on...


For a long time there was a misconception that Linux is only for programmers

and people had fear of command line but thats not true. Anyone can use Linux as having said that it's user friendly.


Now coming back to our question:

See we need a license to run Windows Operating system because it's not an open source system without which its illegal to use it.


Take an example: 

If an institute has 300 Windows PC, Microsoft can get the location in no time. 

And if the Microsoft wants it can raid the institute and ask for the license. 

If that institute doesn't have license for all the 300 computers then Microsoft would easily seize the institute making them difficult to pursue.


Then the question arrives is many of the individuals use the pirated version for Windows then why don't Microsoft raid every individual.

You see in that case Microsoft will have to spend a tons of money to raid every individual.


And say for example a news suddenly erupts that Microsoft wants all of us to use the legal rather than the pirated version everyone will be switching to an open source as quickly as possible. Because no one wants to purchase the product if tons of other open sources are already available.

What are some methods for optimizing Oracle databases for large data inserts?

 For large data inserts I can suggest you few things like: Use trigger(PL/SQL) Use APPEND hint Remove indexes on tables Firstly, while you use triggers in the table it could leave data to be logically corrupt. And it will then perform insert in a very conventional way. Which is a time consuming process and won’t helps us! Secondly, using APPEND hint will help us to an extend. So, APPEND hint tells the optimizer to perform a direct-insert into the table, which improves the performance. Now there is a way which we could achieve this by minimizing the Redo generation. What Redo do is; it basically ensures the recoverability of data to the database. It writes down every transaction to the archive log. Let’s take a scenario, where if the database is running on the NOARCHIVELOG mode, using APPEND hint will reduce the redo generation i.e; it won’t write into the archive log anymore and thus increases the speed. But then it won’t be able to recover at any point in time if your data is ambi...

Stock Market using Python

 "The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient." - Warren Buffett Today we'll look into few ways for accessing the stock market. And we'll do this using Python ! Now, as we know that there are 2 stock exchange in India; BSE and NSE So we'll get the data from both! To begin with let's access the data from BSE first. (P.S: I certainly like the 2nd and the 3rd method to access stock market!) * So, to import the BSE data we need to " pip install bsedata ". => And then import the module, => Create an object to store the Driver Class => Then we need to do " getQuote('script_code')" where we need to provide a script code of a company which we need to access. Just like here we have given; => And from here we can see that the script code was for the company named "V-MART". But we can't remember all the script code hence we need to download this script file from the BSE websi...
