Difference Between Oracle and Sql Server

Platform comparison
SQL Server 2000 only works on Windows-based platforms, including Windows 9x, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows CE.
In comparison with SQL Server 2000, Oracle 9i Database supports all known platforms, including Windows-based platforms, AIX-Based Systems, Compaq Tru64 UNIX, HP 9000 Series HP-UX, Linux Intel, Sun Solaris and so on.

1.Oracle runs on many platforms, SQL on Windows only
2. Oracle includes IFS (Internet File System), Java integration, SQL is more of a pure database
3. Oracle requires client install and setup (Not difficult, but very UNIX-like for Windows users)
4. SQL is #1 in Cost/Performance and overall Performance, although Oracle will refute that
5. Replication is much easier in SQL (I have been at clients where even the Oracle consultant couldn't get it working w/oracle)
6. Failover support in SQL is much, much easier
7. JDBC support is much better in Oracle, although Microsoft is working on it
8. ODBC support in both
9. SQL is ANSI-SQL '92 compliant, making it easier to convert to another ANSI compliant database, theoretically anyway (truth is every database has proprietary extensions). Oracle is generally more proprietary and their main goal is to keep their customers locked-in.
10. SQL natively supports ODBC, OLEDB, XML, XML Query, XML updates. Oracle natively supports proprietary connections, JDBC. Not sure about XML support though.
11. SQL Server is much easier to administrate, with GUI and command- line tools. Most of Oracle is command-line (Back in SQL 6.5 days I had a customer who was so proud that after a day's worth of work he had managed to script his database. I showed him how it was a 3 click operation in SQL ;-)
12. Oracle requires add-ons for transaction monitors, failover, etc. SQL has COM+, uses NT clustering and generally has everything built-in
13. SQL Analysis Services is included (A very powerful OLAP server). For Oracle it is a separate purchase.
14. Oracle will be used especially in large database. But if we use sql server in such a environment, the data processing will become very slower. Oracle database very closely supports Java rather than Sql server.
15. Oracle 7 was RDBMS, i.e it was a relation database and the one's after that i.e. 8 onwards Oracle introduced the concept of OODBMS. Which stands for Object Oriented Database Management Systems. With every major release Oracle has initiated a lot of changes for the better. Like
a. (1) Getting PL/SQL closer to ANSI SQL standards
b. (2) Automatic Management of Undo from 9i onwards
c. (3) Introduction of special Grouping operators for queries
d. (4) ISQL env for easier query processing
e. (5) RAC (I dunno much about it)
f. (6) AS(Application Server, integrated into the database)
16. SQL server GUI is easy to work. SQL serever is easy to maintain. Orcal data procssing is very good compared to SQL server
 

DataSet Vs Datareader


DataReader:
Datareader fetch data one by one from the database. You can have one row(record)  at a time in datareader. Once you read next row with read method of the datareader the older record is destroyed from memory and new record will take place instead of it. You can do that only forward only and you can not modify the data. It also require a database connection to stayed open while fetching data. You can useCommandBehavior.CloseConnection property to close connection after data reader finish reading data from database.
Dataset:
You can call dataset a mini database in your memory. Dataset support disconnected architecture as once you fill dataset with data then no connection is required. A database can contain multiple tables also its supports relationship between them. You can insert,update and delete records from dataset and you can update them also in database.
Where i should use dataset over database?
When you are required to display only data then use datareader.Dataset will fetch data once a time. So if you are having millions of records then it will consume your server memory while datareader will have just one record at a time in database. And you need not to display millions of records at time.

Crystal Report Field Color

In the crystal report You can also set the color of database field the dynamically. For that you
have to right click the field and select the format object then go to the font and color tab. Click the formula icon opposite to color and a formula editor opens. Put your formula whatever you want to implement and you set your color based on this formula.

Happy Programming..

Display multiple columns in the Crystal Report.NET

While generating reports we are offten need to display data in multiple columns in cyrstal reports or any other report generation tool.

Crystal Report provides very easy way to do it. Please follow the following steps to complete things.

1) Open crystal report
2) Go to the section exprert and then select details section
3) Select 'Format with multiple columns' checkbox.
4) A layout tab appears in the section expert. From where you can design layout that how the multiple columns display in the crystal report.

That's it... You have created reports with multiple columns. You can also format crystal report groups with it.

Happy Programming.

Display group header in every page of Crystal Report.NET



We have often used the crystal report as a reporting tool to create various reports.
We some time need our group header to display in each and every page. In crystal
reports right click crystal report-> select group expert and then select the group
you want to display in each page. and goto the options and check the the
checkbox >Repeat group header in each page.

That's it.. Your group header will display on the top of each page.

ASP.NET Web.config File

ASP.Net Applications of XML have been integrated into such an extent that XML format for the exchange of data, it's also used to store configuration settings.
  1. A Web application can contain more than one Web.config file. The settings in a file apply to the directory in which it's located, and all child directories. Web.config files in child directories take precedence over the settings that are specified in parent directories.
  2. Web.config files are protected by IIS, so clients cannot get to them. If you try to retrieve an existing http://?????.com/Web.config file, you'll be presented with an "Access denied" error message.
  3. IIS monitors the Web.config files for changes and caches the contents for performance reasons. There's no need to restart the Web server after you modify a Web.config file.
Configuration settings for any of your ASP.NET Web applications can be stored in a simple text file. Presented in an easily understandable XML format, this file, called Web.config, can contain application-wide data such as databaseconnection strings, custom error messages, and culture settings.

The Web.config is an XML file, it can consist of any valid XML tags, but the root element should always be <configuration>. Nested within this tag you can include various other tags to describe your settings. Since a Web.config file comes as a standard when you start to build a new Web application.
The default XML file generated by Visual Studio .NET:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation 
defaultLanguage="c#"
debug="true"
/>
<customErrors 
mode="RemoteOnly" 
/> 
<authentication mode="Windows" /> 
<authorization>
<allow users="*" />
</authorization>
<trace
enabled="false"
requestLimit="10"
pageOutput="false"
traceMode="SortByTime"
localOnly="true"
/>
<sessionState 
mode="InProc"
stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424"
sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;Trusted_Connection=yes"
cookieless="false" 
timeout="20" 
/>
<globalization 
requestEncoding="utf-8" 
responseEncoding="utf-8" 
/>

</system.web>

</configuration>

The <configuration> tag has only one child tag, which we call section group, the <system.web> tag. A section group typically contains the setting sections, such as: compilation, customErrors, authentication, authorization, etc. The way this works is pretty straightforward: you simply include your settings in the appropriate setting sections. You want to use a different authentication mode for your Web application, you'd change that setting in the authentication section.

Apart from the standard system.web settings, you can define your own specific application settings, such as adatabase connection string, using the <appSettings> tag. Consequently, your most common Web.config outline would be:

<configuration>
<system.web>
<!— sections--> 
</system.web>
<appSettings>
<!— sections --> 
</appSettings >
</configuration>

Let's discuss the details of both section groups now.
The system.web Section Group

In this section group, you'll include configuration settings that, you'd have set up somewhere in the IIS administration console. At Microsoft's MSDN Library, you can find an overview of all the tags that the system.web section group understands, but, depending on the complexity of your site, you may not ever use even half of those options.


<authentication>

The authentication section controls the type of authentication used within your Web application, as contained in the attribute mode. You'll enter the value "None" if anyone may access your application. If authentication is required, you'll use "Windows", "Forms" or "Passport" to define the type of authentication. For example:

<authentication mode="Windows" />

<authorization>

To allow or deny access to your web application to certain users or roles, use <allow> or <deny> child tags.

<authorization>
<allow roles="Administrators,Users" />
<deny users="*" />
</authorization>

It's important to understand that ASP.NET's authorization module iterates through the sections, applying the first rule that corresponds to the current user. In this example, users carrying the role Administrators or Users will be allowed access, while all others (indicated by the * wildcard) will encounter the second rule and will subsequently be denied access.

<compilation>

Here, you can configure the compiler settings for ASP.NET. You can use loads of attributes here, of which the most common are debug and defaultLanguage. Set debug to "true" only if you want the browser to display debugging information. Since turning on this option reduces performance, you'd normally want to set it to "false". The defaultLanguage attribute tells ASP.NET which language compiler to use, since you could use either Visual Basic .NET or C# for instance. It has value vb by default.

<customErrors>

To provide your end users with custom, user-friendly error messages, you can set the mode attribute of this section to On. If you set it to RemoteOnly, custom errors will be shown only to remote clients, while local host users will see the ugly but useful ASP.NET errors -- clearly, this is helpful when debugging. Setting the mode attribute to Off will show ASP.NET errors to all users.

If you supply a relative (for instance, /error404.html) or absolute address (http://yourdomain.com/error404.html) in the defaultRedirect attribute, the application will be automatically redirected to this address in case of an error. Note that the relative address is relative to the location of the Web.config file, not the page in which the error takes place. In addition you can use <error> tags to provide a statusCode and a redirect attribute:

<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="/error.html">
<error statusCode="403" redirect="/accessdenied.html" />
<error statusCode="404" redirect="/pagenotfound.html" />
</customErrors>

<globalization>

The globalization section is useful when you want to change the encoding or the culture of your application. Globalization is such an extensive subject that an entire article could be dedicated to the matter. In short, this section allows you to define which character set the server should use to send data to the client (for instance UTF-8, which is the default), and which settings the server should use to interpret and displaying culturally specific strings, such as numbers and dates.

<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" 
culture="nl-NL" />

Encoding is done through the attributes requestEncoding and responseEncoding. The values should be equal in all one-server environments. In this example, the application culture is set to Dutch. If you don't supply a culture, theapplication will use the server's regional settings.

<httpRuntime>

You can use the httpRuntime section to configure a number of general runtime settings, two of which are particularly convenient.

<httpRuntime appRequestQueueLimit="100" executionTimeout="600" />

The first attribute specifies the number of requests the server may queue in memory at heavy-traffic times. In the example, if there are already 100 requests waiting to be processed, the next request will result in a 503 error ("Server too busy").

The executionTimeout attribute indicates the number of seconds for which ASP.NET may process a request before it's timed out.

<sessionState>

In this section of the Web.config file, we tell ASP.NET where to store the session state. The default is in the process self:

<sessionState mode="InProc" />

Session variables are very powerful, but they have a few downsides. Information is lost when the ASP.NET process crashes, and sessions are generally useless in the case of a Web farm (multiple Web servers). In that instance, a shared session server can solve your issues. It's beyond the scope of this article to expand on this topic, but it's worth a mention. More information on sessionState can be found in the MSDN Library online.

<trace>

Your application's trace log is located in the application root folder, under the name trace.axd. You can change the display of tracing information in the trace section.

The attributes you will look for initially are enabled: localOnly, and pageOutput.

<trace enabled="true" localOnly="true" pageOutput="false" />

Set localOnly to "false" to access the trace log from any client. If you set the value of pageOutput to "true", tracing information will be added to the bottom of each Web page.
The appSettings Section Group

Apart from the Website configuration settings I've been talking about in the preceding paragraphs, you'll know that a programmer frequently likes to use custom application-wide constants to store information over multiple pages. The most appealing example of such a custom constant is a database connection string, but you can probably think of dozens more from your own experience.

The common denominator of these constants is that you want to retrieve their values programmatically from your code. The Web.config file provides the possibility to do so, but as a security measure, these constants have to be included in the <appSettings> section group. Just like <system.web>, <appSettings> is a direct child tag of the Web.config's configuration root.

A typical custom section group would look something like this:

<appSettings>
<add key="sqlConn" value="Server=myPc;Database=Northwind" />
<add key="smtpServer" value="smtp.mydomain.com" />
</appSettings>

This example shows that keys and values can be included in the custom application settings via an <add> tag. The way to access such a value in any of your Web pages is illustrated below:

ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("sqlConnection")

Difference between .NET 2.0/3.0/3.5 Framework

Send Reminder mail based on Date field in SharePoint List

Below is the C# console application program to send reminder mail to user, seven days prior to due date.
It is used check WSS 3.0 list item and send mail.

Add Microsoft.SharePoint.dll in your project.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using System.Net.Mail;

namespace MailSending
{
    class Program
    {
        static string strMailFrom = "MailId";
        static string[] strMailTo = new string[] { "MailId", "MailId" };

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            SPSite oSite = new SPSite("SiteURLHere");
            SPWeb oWeb = oSite.OpenWeb();
            SPList oList = oWeb.Lists["ListNameHere"];

            for (int i = 0; i < oList.Items.Count; i++)
            {
                SPListItem oListItem = oList.Items[i];
                DateTime dtDate = Convert.ToDateTime(oListItem["Due Date"]);
                DateTime dtToday = DateTime.Today;
                TimeSpan TS = dtDate.Subtract(dtToday);
                if (TS.Days == 7)
                    SendMail(oList.Items[i].ID.ToString(), Convert.ToDateTime(oListItem["Due Date"]).ToShortDateString());
            }           
        }

        static void SendMail(string strListItemID, string strDueDate)
        {
            MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
            message.Subject = "This is Subject";
            message.From = new MailAddress(strMailFrom);

            for (int j = 0; j < strMailTo.Length; j++)
                message.To.Add(strMailTo[j]);

            string strMsgBody = "Please note that Due Date is " + strDueDate + ". Please check the below list for more information.
";
            strMsgBody += "" + strDueDate + ";

            message.Body = strMsgBody;
            message.IsBodyHtml = true;

            SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient("SMTP_Address_Here");
            smtp.Send(message);
        }
    }
}

After compiling we can take the exe file of this application and add in windows Task Scheduler. So that it will send mail to user.

ASP.NET Controls

The ASP.NET Framework contains over 70 controls.

You should always assign an ID attribute to every control even when you don’t need to program against it.

. Standard Controls—The standard controls enable you to render standard form elements such as buttons, input fields, and labels. 

Validation Controls—The validation controls enable you to validate form data before you submit the data to the server. For example, you can use a RequiredFieldValidator control to check whether a user entered a value for a required input field. 

Rich Controls—The rich controls enable you to render things such as calendarsfile upload buttons, rotating banner advertisements, and multi-step wizards. 

Data Controls—The data controls enable you to work with data such as database data. For example, you can use these controls to submit new records to a database table or display a list of database records. 

Navigation Controls—The navigation controls enable you to display standard navigation elements such as menus, tree views, and bread crumb trails. 

Login Controls—The login controls enable you to display login, change password, and registration forms. 

HTML Controls—The HTML controls enable you to convert any HTML tag into a server- side control.

SQL Server Short Cuts

CARTOON OF RASULULLAH [SALLALLAAHU ALAYHI WASALLAM] - HOW SHOULD WE REACT ?


Q: How should we react to the cartoon that has been made of the Prophet [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam]? What is the Sunnah way of acting in this situation?
A: The honour, greatness and love for Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] is deeply entrenched in the heart of every Muslim and is the core of Islam. Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] and every Prophet of Allah is Ma’soom (sinless). They are sent as guides for mankind and direct the people to the Oneness of Allah and His obedience. The Prophets of Allah possess the highest level of knowledge of Allah. They also possess the highest level of spirituality and sound character. Every Prophet of Allah condemned disrespect and violence. They condemned Kufr (disbelief) and Shirk (ascribing partners to Allah) in a dignified manner. In Islam, we revere every Prophet of Allah and we do not tolerate any disrespect to any Prophet of Allah. If a Muslim shows any disrespect to any Prophet of Allah and hurls disgraceful remarks against him, such a person comes out of the fold of Islam. In fact, according to many Fuqahaa, the apology of such a person will not be accepted. (Rasmul Mufti)

There are two angles in the printing and publishing of the cartoons of Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam], a) The image of Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam], and b) Disrespect

Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] prohibited making pictures of animate objects. He even stated that the angels of mercy do not enter a house in which there are pictures of animate objects. (Bukhari). One of the reasons for the prohibition of making and taking pictures of animate objects is that it leads to idolatory. The desciples of Nooh (alayhimus salaam)were deeply revered and respected by their followers. After their demise, they made pictures of the desciples and placed them in their places of worship. Gradually over a period of time, the people started worshipping the disciples. Since the background of this was making pictures, and it has a potential of committing Shirk, Islam has prohibited anything that has to do with Shirk directly or indirectly. The Sahaaba [radhiallaahu anhu] should not take or draw pictures. There is no picture of Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] or any Sahaabi [radhiallaahu anhu].

The second angle of the cartoon of Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] is the utmost disrespect shown to Rasulullah in the name of ‘freedom of expression’. This has caused great pain and anger to every Muslim around the world. Every Muslim has a right to express his pain and anger. What else should Muslims do? Just feel the pain and keep quiet? This will lead to the enemies of Islam to continue such blasphemy. We cannot allow that. We do take cognisance of the fact that this act is carried out by just one or few individuals to stir up the anger of Muslims for whatever reason. It may not be appropriate for us to give in to the hands of our enemies and conduct ourselves as they want us to, but this issue does not fall in that category. We will have to stand up to such mischief and stop it.

Freedom of expression is not absolute. It has overarching principles. If freedom of expression is absolute, then freedom of religion in a democratic dispensation should also be absolute. Why does freedom of religion has overarching principles. Why are Muslims not allowed to fully practise on every aspect of Islam without any restriction whatsoever? The reason is obvious. The rights of others living as equal citizens must be considered. What then about freedom of expression and right of dignity and religious honour?

Nevertheless, Muslims living as Muslim minorities around the world should act in a responsible manner and the following is suggested:
1. Consult with Ulama and responsible people before doing anything. Do not do anything by yourself. Shura and consultation is vital in such an issue.

2. Express anger and disgust within the framework of the law of the country. Use the law of the country to its full capacity.

3. Do not be violent in any way and do not burn buildings, cars, etc.

4. Boycott all Danish products and products of anyone else who support Denmark in this issue or even sympathise with Denmark.

5. Do not confine expression of anger to the cartoon issue. Use the opportunity to express the disgust on Islamophobia in general and highlight some pertinent issues.

6. The most important in this is the issue of Da’awah. Use the opportunity to explain to the world the great personality of Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam]. His lifestyle and character should be printed and published all around the world. This will be an eye opener to many ignorant people and a means of guidance. Take out the positive aspects from a negative one and use the situation to our advantage. Every Muslim should say and write something about our beloved Rasul [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam].

7. It is of utmost importance that we engage in lots of du’aa and Dhikr, Fasting and Sadaqaat. Make du’aa that Allah guide the Ummah in this trying times.

8. Do not conduct ourselves with our fellow non-Muslim citizens in a way that offend them and look for an opportunity to get back at us. We will then be the cause of them showing disrespect to Islam and Islamic values. Always express good character and conduct to all.

9. The most important issue in expressing our love and honour for Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] is following his Sunnah. Expressing our anger at the disrespect to Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] is important but it will be hypocritical if we do not emulate the outward appearance, beard, dressing, etc. and noble character of Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam]. Every one should obtain a kitaab on the Sunnats of Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] and implement that in our lives and pass this over to others.
10. Forward this email as wide as possible.
