Select column names with values from SQL Server database
Fetching column names with its value in T-SQL using built in JSON methods
0
Fetching the data in it's original form from SQL relational database is the most common way of getting the data stored. For example, to get all column from Products table in Northwind database is pretty straight forward. ...read more
Controlling the flow of migrations in EF Core
Altering EF Core migrations execution order
0
EF Core has migrations as a way of restoring the database structure inherited from Entity Framework and for the most of the cases all you have to do to setup your database structure changes when deploying your new application version is to call the Migrate method from your DbContext.Database property. It is not a perfect solution but as I mention, it works great for majority of the cases and takes of the complexity of sorting out order for execution of pending changes so you can focus on business logic of your application. ...read more
Unit of work pattern with Dapper
Implementing unit of work pattern with Dapper in .NET 5
0
People often try to compare Dapper and Entity Framework. Although they both have same goal and that is reading and modifying the data against the database, they take completely different approach in doing so and therefore this comparison is not really valid. Entity framework is more robust as the name says framework, while Dapper is simple object mapper which is down the line set of extension methods on top of the ADO classes which allow easier manipulation with data in the database...read more
Setting up SQL Server IDistributedCache with migration in ASP.NET Core
Embedding SQL Server caching in a project with EFCore migration
0
Caching data using Microsoft SQL Server may not be the most popular way of caching data because of the performance comparing to caching data to Redis, but it is maybe the most convenient way to keep your state of the application outside the process itself. Beside, if you are already using SQL Server database, you can just move the caching infrastructure to a separate schema inside the same database and keep using it until requirements are met for cache storage of better performance (like Redis for example). This makes infrastructure not so complex and less dependent, again until the requirements for something faster are met. ...read more
Running multiple queries at the same time in EF Core
Overcoming the limitation of EF Core query execution
 
0
Since the time of ADO in .NET one of the limitations was that one connection can execute single command at the time. Same limitation Entity Framework inherited and you can execute single command at the time per instance of your DbContext...read more
Seeding data in EF Core using SQL scripts
Another way of seeding data in EF Core
0
Not so while ago I wrote an article on Seeding data with Entity Framework Core using migrations. This approach relies on EF Core migrations to ensure seeding of specific data is done only once using __EFMigrationsHistory table to track structural migrations as well as data seeding migrations. In large number of cases this approach works just fine and you do not need to do any adjustments or add any additional tables, just use migrations mechanism out of the box...read more
Identifying opened connections for the specific application in SQL Server
Connection listing queries in SQL Server
0
Object relational mappers or ORMs are a great tool which can significantly reduce application development time, but if they are not use wisely they can cause bottlenecks and performance issues. Same goes for dependency injection containers. The lifetime of the components, especially the ones that can cause recurse locks like SQL Server connections must be as short as possible and they should be released as soon as work is done. ...read more
Using Polly for retrial policies with Autofac
Confguring and using Polly with with pretty much anything
0
Some time ago I wrote an article which explains how to Increase service resilience using Polly and retry pattern in ASP.NET Core. This is a great way how to easily implement retrials when using .NET Core dependency injection, but in case of using Autofac with .NET Framework 4.x you do not have many out of the box solutions. However, Polly as a library is not specifically built for .NET Core and using it with other dependecy injection packages such as Autofac is fairly easy...read more
SqlBulkCopy object collection to database table with C#
Performing SqlBulkCopy with collection of objects as a source data

Over the time various techniques to manipulate database data have evolved in .NET. Entity Framework is certainly the most advanced one, but for small ad hock applications where you have few inserts to deal with, ADO is still the fastest way to write data to the database...read more

Unlike Entity Framework 6, EF Core and whole .NET Core relies on dependency injection. For example, configuration is expected to be injected from the calling assembly instead of being available at any time...read more
Reading JSON data in T-SQL on SQL Server
Extracting values from JSON string on SQL Server using T-SQL
0
JSON is the most commonly used data fromat nowdays. It is lighter than XML, more readable and it's sindax complies with most OOP C-Like lnguages such as Java, JavaScript and C#. There is not really many downsides of using JSON, so that is one of the rasons everyone is using it in one way or another. ...read more
Create XML/HTML with T-SQL
Generating XML/HTML output in SQL Server
0
Sending email from SQL is not a difficult to achieve, but generating rich HTML content might be. SQL Server itself is not built as a text processor, first approach would be to build HTML by simple concatenating the string elements. This approach will work, but over time it will become more and more difficult to maintain especially if you need to add layout elements over time. ...read more
SqlBulkCopy with model classes in C#
Use SqlBulkCopy with model (POCO) classes in C#
 
0
So far (based on my experience) the fastest way to insert big number of records from application to database is to use SqlBulkCopy. The downsize of this is that SqlBulkCopy uses DataTable instace as an input parameter which is not so convenient when dealing with models which are strongly typed and a lot more easy to use than iterating through the DataTable...read more
IP address to octets split in TSQL
Split IP addresse into octets in SQL Server
0
In case you need to handle IP addresses in SQL, they are not much useful as string values. To do anything with them rather then just storing and retrieving (checking the ranges for example) you need to split IP address to segments (octets). The following is modified method I run into online. ...read more
