Cursor and read only connection animations

The Animated Database Courseware (http://adbc.kennesaw.edu) that will be presented consists of animations, examples, and sample tests to support database curricula. It consists of five major models (Database Design, SQL, Transactional Processing, Security and Advanced Concepts) as well as many submodules. This web application has been used extensively at Kennesaw State University as well as many other universities throughout the country. Evaluations have indicated that it improves learning depth and breadth. This work describes a new sub-module to demonstrate two methods for connecting to a database which allow read, update and execute commands. The module is called Embedded SQL and the two methods demonstrated are Read and Cursor. This work has been funded by NSF grant # 0717707.
