32. What is a stored procedure in SQL?

A stored procedure is a precompiled set of SQL statements stored in the database that can be executed with a single command. It allows encapsulating data processing logic on the DBMS side, enhancing performance and security.

33. What are the two global network processes?

The main global network processes are switching and routing. Switching is responsible for data transfer within a single network (e.g., via switches), while routing handles data transfer between different networks (via routers).

34. What is the purpose of NAT technology?

NAT (Network Address Translation) is used to convert private IP addresses within a local network to public IP addresses and vice versa. It allows multiple devices to use a single public IP for internet access, saves address space, and increases security by hiding the internal network structure.
