Abstract | Database-centric applications (DCAs) usually rely on database operations over a large number of tables and attributes. Understanding how database tables and attributes are used to implement features in DCAs along with the constraints related to these usages is an important component of any DCA’s maintenance. However, manually documenting database related operations and their asynchronously evolving constraints in constantly changing source code is a hard and time-consuming problem. In this paper, we present a novel approach, namely DBScribe, aimed at automatically generating always up-to-date natural language descriptions of database operations and schema constraints in source code methods. DBScribe statically analyzes the code and database schema to detect database usages and then prop- agates these usages and schema constraints through the call-chains implementing database-related features. Finally, each method in these call-chains is automatically documented based on the underlying database usages and constraints. We evaluated DBScribe in a study with 52 participants analyzing generated documentation for database-related methods in five open-source DCAs. Additionally, we evaluated the descriptions generated by DBScribe on two commercial DCAs involving original developers. The results for the studies involving open-source and commercial DCAs demonstrate that generated descriptions are accurate and useful while understanding database usages and constraints, in particular during maintenance tasks. . |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
