Polyglot (computing) that use different characters for comments and to redefine various tokens as others in different languages. Often good use is made of syntax quirks. These are demonstrated in this public domain polyglot written in ANSI C, PHP and bash: Note the following: Some less-common languages also offer possibilities to create Polyglot code. Here is a small sample, written simultaneously in SNOBOL4, Win32Forth, PureBasicv4.x, and REBOL: The term is sometimes applied to programs that are valid in more than one language, but do not strictly perform the same function in each. One use for this form is a file that runs
Polyglot persistence join operation can be used. This might work when the data is smaller in size, but becomes problematic when the data involved grows larger. A graph database might solve the problem of relationships in case of Big Data, but it might not solve the problem of database transactions, which are provided by RDBM systems. Instead, a NoSQL document database might be used to store unstructured data for that particular part of the problem. Thus different problems are solved by different database systems, all within the same application. Polyglot persistence Polyglot persistence is the concept of using different data storage technologies
