Why we Pass String array as argument to main method in Java


1. History. This is a convention since the days of C, maybe even earlier.
    Java took most of its syntax from C.

2. When we run a java program to command prompt, we can pass some input to our Java program. Those inputs are stored in this String args array.

Example : if you run your program as,

java MyProgram first second

then args will contain

 ["first", "second"]

i.e,
arg[0] = "first" 
arg[1] = "second"

3. Java tend to make it simpler by using simplest of all data-types "String" . Also, all the other datatypes can be easily converted from String.

4. JVM takes care of passing any command line arguments as an array of strings to the main method. If there are no arguments given, an empty array is passed - but it's still there.

PostgreSQL :: open-source relational database management system (RDBMS)

 PostgreSQL also known as Postgres, is a free and open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) emphasizing extensibility and SQL compliance.  PostgreSQL features transactions with ACID properties, automatically updatable views, materialized views, triggers, foreign keys, and stored procedures. It is designed to handle a range of workloads, from single machines to data warehouses or Web services with many concurrent users. PostgreSQL manages concurrency through multiversion concurrency control (MVCC), which gives each transaction a "snapshot" of the database, allowing changes to be made without affecting other transactions.  PostgreSQL provides an asynchronous messaging system that is accessed through the NOTIFY, LISTEN and UNLISTEN commands. PostgreSQL includes built-in support for regular B-tree and hash table indexes, and four index access methods: generalized search trees (GiST), generalized inverted indexes (GIN), Space-Partitioned GiST (SP-GiST) and Bloc...
