Creational Design Patterns in Modern C++ - SQL Server Database Classes

The video tutorial covers the process of adding clauses for an SQL Server database, focusing on naming conventions and implementing the factory method design pattern. It simulates database operations using vectors and iterators, demonstrating how to create and use SQL connection and command objects. The tutorial also explains the concept of covariant return types in object-oriented programming, highlighting their advantages in avoiding downcasting.

What is the purpose of using a naming convention for SQL clauses?

• To avoid using SQL commands

• To make the code more complex

• To identify the database each clause is used for

• To ensure compatibility with all databases

What design pattern is implemented when execute query returns an instance of a class?

• Decorator Pattern

• Singleton Pattern

• Observer Pattern

• Factory Method Pattern

How is database interaction simulated in the tutorial?

• By writing to a file

• By connecting to a real database

• Using a list of integers

• Through a vector of strings

What is the role of the cursor in the SQL recordset simulation?

• To connect to the database

• To iterate over the vector of strings

• To execute SQL commands

• To store database credentials

What is the first step in using the SQL clauses in the tutorial?

• Creating a command object

• Setting the connection string

• Opening the connection

• Creating an instance of a connection

Why is a covariant type used in the tutorial?

• To ensure type safety

• To reduce memory usage

• To increase the execution speed

• To simplify the code by avoiding downcasting

What is the final step after executing a query in the tutorial?

• Re-running the query

• Logging the results

• Deleting the pointers

• Closing the connection
