software after completing all the stages where as in Evolutionary Model we are adding
new as suggested by user feedback to already build in and it is waterfall with iterations.
Water Fall model works well for smaller projects and projects where requirements are well
understood whereas the Evolutionary model is suitable for large projects which can be
decomposed into a set of modules for incremental development and delivery.

i. Explain what is commit and rollback in MySQL?

Ans.:
Once a program has completed executing the query with your changes and you want to
commit the changes to the database, you need to call commit() method on MySQL
