Difference between Layered Architecture and N-Tier Architecture



Layered Architecture vs N-Tier Architecture
Layered Architectural Style
Layers are the separation of code or you can say organize your come.
Layers may be residing in same computer (1 tier) or in separate computer (N- Tier). In the Application each layer communicates with other layer.
For example, normally in the application following layer is defined
·        
      Presentation Layer (UI)
·         Business Layer
·         Data Access Layer

N-Tier Architectural Style 
In the N-Tier each layer can be deployed on separate computer. In N-Tier application is logically separated into minimum three layers. Each layer is responsible for specific functionality.
Example in Web application security is important so the business layer is deployed behind firewall, and presentation layer is on separate network.
Advantages of a layered architecture:

Layered architecture provides flexibility, maintainability, and scalability.
Layered architecture parallel team works on different part of application.
Layered architecture is loosely coupled.        

Disadvantages of a layered architecture:                
      Performance is slower because extra overhead.

Comparing cursor vs. WHILE loop performance

Cursors Cursors are a looping construct built inside the database engine and come with a wide variety of features. Cursors allow you to fetch a set of data, loop through each record, and modify the values as necessary; then, you can easily assign these values to variables and perform processing on these values. Depending on the type of cursor you request, you can even fetch records that you’ve previously fetched. Because a cursor is an actual object inside the database engine, there is a little overhead involved in creating the cursor and destroying it. Also, a majority of cursor operations occur in tempdb, so a heavily used tempdb will be even more overloaded with the use of cursors. The types of cursors used are very important in terms of performance. Below is a list of the available cursor types as listed on     FORWARD_ONLY Specifies that the cursor can only be scrolled from the first to the last row. FETCH NEXT is the only supported fetch option...
