Cursors
SQL statements are good for set at a time operations. So it is good for for handling a group of data. But there are scenarios when you want to update a row depending upon a some specific criteria, like loop through the rows and update the row. This time we are using cursors
There are different steps to create cursors
1.Declare
2.Open
3.Fetch
4.Operation
4.Close and deallocate.

Difference between delete and truncate statements?
Delete is data manipulation language
Truncate is data definition language
Truncate Cannot be rollnacked while delete can be
Can not use trancate on a table referenced be foreign key
Delete table sysntax logs the delete, truncate table does not log any information but it logs information about deallocation of data page of table.
Delete can have criteria while truncate can not

How to write secure mvc application using encrypting URL

There are lots ways available to write the secure Mvc application. In my experience I came across lots of secure application in public facing. I want to tell about some of the mechanism I followed.
1- encrypting the URL Parameters and preserving id's encrypted on the client side
1- I always make sure if I pass Id or any sensitive data into the view always make sure it's encrypted. By doing so make sure if we forced to use HTML.hidden or HTML.hidden for have the encrypted values, in action link if I pass any parameters from the client side (eg:- edit or create or navigating between different actions we can make sure that all the values are encrypted)
During the design of the actions results if it's http get I usually encrypt the sensitive data
[httpget]
Public actionresult display()
{
TestModel testModel=new TestModel();
testModel.id= encrypt(id);
Return View(testModel);
}
[httppost]
Public ActionResult Display(string id)
{
Guid d_id= new Guid(decrypt(id));

Compiled Query- Improve the performance of Linq to Entity Query

Most of the small or medium IT firms are using the Entity framework for the Data Access layer (DAL). If we write a complex linq to Entity queries performance will always be an issue. But with the Compiled Query Performance can be improved. This below definitions are from MSDN and more details can be found on the MSDN Link that is at the end of this post

When you have an application that executes structurally similar queries many times in the Entity Framework, you can frequently increase performance by compiling the query one time and executing it several times with different parameters. For example, an application might have to retrieve all the QuoteRevision for a particular quotelineStatus, the quotelinestatus is specified at runtime. LINQ to Entities supports using compiled queries for this purpose.

The compiled query class provides compilation and caching of queries for reuse. Conceptually, this class contains aCompiledQuery'sCompilemethod with several ove…
