Applications Interface Programming Using Multiple Languages is a comprehensive, hands-on, and practical guide to interface programming between multiple languages. Today, as computer technology develops rapidly, a single programming language sometimes is not enough to handle complicated, real-world implementations. Each language has its strong and weak points and it is very difficult to find one language to satisfy all applications requirements. Mixed-language programming, or interface programming between multiple languages, has emerged to meet the needs of complicated applications and implementations in scientific research, industrial controls, and manufacturing, as well as in commercial applications. Using interface programming, professional Graphic User Interfaces, flexible databases, multitask environments, and real-time controllability can be integrated to form an optimal computer system that can complete challenging applications tasks.

This handbook shows how to write faster and more robust stored procedures and functions, learn effective, real-world solutions to problems faced by database developers, designers, and administrators, and master topics such as optimizing and debugging.
