SSD Vs. HDD

SSD (Solid State Drive) has generated lot of buzz in the market in the recent years and lots of companies are offering SSD based laptops. There are few reasons why SSD's are becoming popular:

a. Damn Fast
b. Flash memory based.
c. Increased battery life
d. No noise.

But it has few disadvantages:

a. They are costly.
b. The cells which are used in the SSD to store the data has a limited read write capacity.

Recently, I upgraded my MACBook Pro with Samsung SSD EVO series and I have no regrets. The performance of the system is amazing fast. For e.g.

a. Microsoft Word that took 1 minute to open in MACOSX now takes 3 seconds.
b. EI Capitan which use to take 40-minutes to 1 hour to Install, now does the same in 20 minutes.

I will recommend to upgrade your PC / laptop to SSD in case you are seeing a bottleneck in the performance. Don't go for the RAM Upgrade in case you are already having 4 -8 GB, rather upgrade to SSD. You won't regret.

Highly Recommended.

How to use QueryExtenderControl in ASP.NET with LINQ

Queryextender control is a control that helps in doing actions like filtration, searching, sorting etc. on the LINQ Data source with few steps. In fact we don’t have to write any code with this. Screenshot given below is just an example that can easily be achieved through this control. In the above screenshot, we can see that there is a GridView Control that has been binded to a LINQData Source Control. And we have a DropDownlistBox that is also binded to another LINQData Source Control and displaying only grouped jobs. The GridView display all the employees who are matching the Job Parameter. This is done through QueryExtender Control. Also we can search for any name in the employee name's through Query Extender control. The code in the HTML goes like: < form id ="form1" runat ="server">     < div >         Select Job: < asp : DropDownList ID ="Job" runat ="server" DataSourceID ="LinqDataSource2...

Using GUID or UniqueIdentifiers in SQL Server

In order to differentiate between two rows, we normally use primary keys or identity values which may be same across two tables. In order to overcome this problem we can use a special type named "GUID" . Its a hexadecimal number (Base 16) and the advantage is  that they are unique across all databases and tables.  In SQL Server the same concept is implemented through UNIQUEIDENTIFIER  data type. In order to generate a new value, we use the NEWID() function. For e.g.  a. Creating a table that uses the UNIQUEIDENTIFIER datatype Create table Test ( Empno uniqueidentifier, Ename varchar(20) ) b. Inserting rows in the tables with the use of NEWID() function insert into Test values (newId(),'ABC') insert into Test values (newid(),'XYZ') insert into test values (newid(),'MNO') c. Selecting the rows from the table. Select * from test  Empno                             ...

How to Delete Record through Knex.

This post is all about of deleting records through KNEX ORM in Nodejs. The following code shows how to achieve this: knex("depts").where("deptno","50").del() .then(function (count) {     console.log(count); }) .finally(function () {     knex.destroy(); }); The above code deletes a record from a table "Depts" where Deptno = 50. It has a "then" Promise attached that will show how many records were deleted with this command. Also "finally" is the method that will always execute and will close the KNEX connection. Happy Coding !!!
