The basics of MS SQL (Microsoft SQL Server) & their datatype

The basics of SQL:
What are the difference between DDL, DML and DCL commands?
  1. DDL is Data Definition Language statements. 
    • CREATE - to create objects in the database 
    • ALTER - alters the structure of the database 
    • DROP - delete objects from the database
    • TRUNCATE - remove all records from a table, including all spaces allocated for the records are removed 
    • COMMENT - add comments to the data dictionary 
    • GRANT - gives user's access privileges to database 
    • REVOKE - withdraw access privileges given with the GRANT command
  2. DML is Data Manipulation Language statements. 
    • SELECT - retrieve data from the a database 
    • INSERT - insert data into a table 
    • UPDATE - updates existing data within a table 
    • DELETE - deletes all records from a table, the space for the records remain 
    • CALL - call a PL/SQL or Java subprogram 
    • EXPLAIN PLAN - explain access path to data 
    • LOCK TABLE - control concurrency
  3. DCL is Data Control Language statements.
    • COMMIT - save work done 
    • SAVEPOINT - identify a point in a transaction to which you can later roll back 
    • ROLLBACK - restore database to original since the last COMMIT
    • SET TRANSACTION - Change transaction options like what rollback segment to use

      The ASCII Character Set

      Character data is represented in a computer by using standardized numeric codes which have been developed. The most widely accepted code is called the American Standard Code for Information Interchange ( ASCII). The ASCII code associates an integer value for each symbol in the character set, such as letters, digits, punctuation marks, special characters, and control characters. Some implementations use other codes for representing characters, but we will use ASCII since it is the most widely used. The ASCII characters and their decimal code values are shown in Table 4.2. Of course, the internal machine representation of characters is in equivalent binary form.


      The ASCII table has 128 characters, with values from 0 through 127. Thus, 7 bits are sufficient to represent a character in ASCII; however, most computers typically reserve 1 byte, (8 bits), for an ASCII character. One byte allows a numeric range from 0 through 255 which leaves room for growth in the size of the character set, or for a sign bit. Consequently, a character data type may optionally represent signed values; however, for now, we will assume that character data types are unsigned, i.e. positive integer values, in the range 0-127.

      Looking at the table, note that the decimal values 0 through 31, and 127, represent non-printable control characters. All other characters can be printed by the computer, i.e. displayed on the screen or printed on printers, and are called printable characters. All printable characters and many control characters can be input to the computer by typing the corresponding keys on the keyboard. The character column shows the key(s) that must be pressed. Only a single key is pressed for a printable character; however, control characters need either special keys on the keyboard or require the CTRL key pressed together with another key. In the table, a control key is shown by the symbol '136. Thus, '136A is control-A, i.e. the CTRL key kept pressed while pressing the key, A.

      Notice that the character 'A' has the code value of 65, 'B' has the value 66, and so on. The important feature is the fact that the ASCII values of letters 'A' through 'Z' are in a contiguous increasing numeric sequence. The values of the lower case letters 'a' through 'z' are also in a contiguous increasing sequence starting at the code value 97. Similarly, the digit symbol characters '0' through '9' are also in an increasing contiguous sequence starting at the code value 48. As we shall see, this feature of the ASCII code is quite useful.

      It must be emphasized that a digit symbol is a character type. Digit characters have code values that differ from their numeric equivalents: the code value of '0' is 48, that of '1' is 49, that of '2' is 50, and so forth. The table shows that the character with code value 0 is a control character, '136@, called the NULL character. Do NOT confuse it with the digit symbol '0'. Remember, a digit character and the equivalent number have different representations.

      Besides using single quotes, it is also possible to write character constants in terms of their ASCII values in a C program, using either their octal or their hexadecimal ASCII values. In writing character constants, the octal or hexadecimal value follows the escape character, , as shown in Table 4.3. At most three octal digits or at most two hexadecimal digits are needed. Note, after the escape backslash, a leading zero should not be included in writing octal or hexadecimal numbers

      How to Integrate “No CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA” in Your Website

      Note:
      First, we need an API key, so head on over to https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin. To gain access to this page you’ll need to be logged into a Google account. You’ll be asked to register your website, so give it a suitable name, then list domains (for example ashishsrivastava.info) where this particular reCAPTCHA will be used. Subdomains (such as blog.ashishsrivastava.info) are automatically taken into account


      Code :
      Example 1 :

      Create Class

      How to check your EPF balance in 6 easy steps

      Step 1

      Employees need to login the member portal by visiting the EPFO website (https://unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface/). You need to enter your 12 digit Activated UAN number and the password to view your account details. If you have not activated your UAN, you can do it by clicking on the tab below. Once you have entered the right credentials, it takes four days to activate your UAN.



      Step 2 
      Once you have entered into the portal, you can find all kind of online services that are available on the EPFO website. From there you can track your queries related to claim status, transferring request, which is required in case your current employer has created another UAN number to track your PF account.

      Step 3
      You can see various tabs present on the dark green ribbon above. Clicking on the ‘view’ tab will take you to visit your profile, service history, UAN card and your passbook address. This passbook address is a separate website link where you can view your PF account.



      Step 4

      To view your PF passbook, you need to visit http://www.epfindia.gov.in website. This is a different website where you can view various other details related to EPFO. You need to go to the ‘our service’ tab and under our service tab, you need to click on the ‘for employees’ link. To view the EPF contributions done by your employer every month you need to then click on the ‘member passbook’ link.




      Step 5
      Once you click on the member passbook link, you will be sent to a different tab, where you need to again enter your activated UAN and same EPFO passwords which you used for the EPFO member login portal.



      Step 6

      Once you have entered your credentials, you can visit your EPF passbook and view your PF contribution made by the company.







      The government has come up with various other benefits where they are giving special benefits to employees who had to leave their current job due to some physical incapacitation. If you want visit the office, you may even locate the nearest EPFO office through this EPFO website, you can also view the eligibility for making online claims and obtain lots more service facilities through this online portal.

      One should also know that the accumulated amount is payable on retirement, resignation or death. You can also make partial withdrawals for financing life insurance policies, acquiring a house, wedding of self or dependents, child’s education planning or any treatment of illness etc.

      SET @list = SUBSTRING(@list, @pos+1, LEN(@list))
      SET @pos = CHARINDEX(@delim, @list, 1)
      END
      SELECT @rlist = COALESCE(@rlist+',','') + item
      FROM (SELECT DISTINCT Item FROM @ParsedList) t
      RETURN @rlist

      Website Performance with ASP.NET - Use Cache Headers (HttpModule CacheHeader define)

      Setting Header Programatically

      You can also set the cache headers programmatically. This can be useful for generated content and allows more fine granular and flexible control of the cache headers. The example below allows clients as well as proxies to cache all responses for one hour. You can of course use different settings depending on any parameter/content/config value etc.
