The document contains code for transaction management functions including start(), read(), write(), commit(), and abort(). The start() function initializes a transaction identifier. The read() function checks the cache for a requested block and loads it from disk if needed. The write() function updates the cache entry for a modified block. The commit() function writes dirty blocks to disk and cleans up transaction identifiers. The abort() function rolls back changes by writing old blocks back to disk and resetting transaction identifiers.

Sql Connection and data table and data set and sample program in C# ....Hari Haran

This document summarizes how to connect to a SQL database and retrieve data using ADO.NET in C#. It explains that a DataTable collects rows and columns from a database, and a SqlCommand specifies the query and database connection. A SqlDataAdapter fetches data from the connection and query into the DataTable. Both DataSet and DataTable retrieve table structure and rows from a database, but DataSet fetches multiple rows at a time while DataTable fetches single rows. An example demonstrates creating a DataTable, SqlConnection, SqlCommand, and SqlDataAdapter to execute a query and fill the DataTable.

Did you know that the .NET compiler turns our async methods into classes? And that .NET adds a try/catch block to each of these classes, potentially hiding thrown exceptions? It's true! In this session, we will learn how to best use async/await in C# by analyzing how .NET compiles our async code. Join me as we take an existing app and optimize its async code together, showing off performance gains, better exception handling, improved run-time speed, and smaller app size!

SH 1 - SES 7 - Change-Streams-Tel-Aviv.pptxMongoDB

1. Change streams in MongoDB provide real-time notifications of data changes in a collection by emitting a stream of change events. 2. The change stream has well-defined characteristics including five operation types, total ordering of changes, durability, and being resumable using resume tokens. 3. The document discusses best practices for consuming change streams including considerations for the document key, handling different operation types, and using the aggregation framework pipeline.

MongoDB Aggregation Amit Ghosh

This document provides an overview of MongoDB aggregation which allows processing data records and returning computed results. It describes some common aggregation pipeline stages like $match, $lookup, $project, and $unwind. $match filters documents, $lookup performs a left outer join, $project selects which fields to pass to the next stage, and $unwind deconstructs an array field. The document also lists other pipeline stages and aggregation pipeline operators for arithmetic, boolean, and comparison expressions.

Apache Spark - Aram MkrtchyanHovhannes Kuloghlyan

Apache Spark is a cluster computing platform designed to be fast and general-purpose. It provides a unified analytics engine for large-scale data processing across SQL, streaming, machine learning, and graph processing. Spark programs can be written in Java, Scala, Python and R. It works by building resilient distributed datasets (RDDs) that can be operated on in parallel. RDDs support transformations like map, filter and join and actions like count, collect and save. Spark also provides caching of RDDs in memory for improved performance.

The document discusses Android Data Binding, which allows binding UI components in XML layouts to data sources in code. It introduces basic data binding, using Observables to track changes, binding collections, and using data binding with RecyclerView. Expressions can be used to bind data and call methods. Data binding avoids findViewById and directly updating views, supports code reuse, and automatically updates UIs when data changes.

The document describes the evolution of a Unity project that spawns cars from prefabs over time. It starts by spawning directly from prefabs, then loads from Resources, then loads asynchronously from Resources. It then moves to building asset bundles and loading from them, both locally and remotely. Over time the code gets more robust, handling dependencies and loading asset bundles from a CDN. This reflects the ongoing process of improving systems and adapting to new needs and technologies.

Spring data명철 강

Spring Data is a framework that unifies access to data stores and repositories. It provides templates for data access, object mapping to data stores, and repository support with CRUD and query methods. Spring Data supports both relational and NoSQL databases. Repositories provide a common interface for data access while templates handle store-specific operations like queries. Object mapping annotations map domain objects to different data models. Spring configuration enables transactions and scans for repositories. Unit tests validate data access and repositories.

Editor's Notes

#3: Hi Everyone, welcome to everyone that’s shown up. I’m here today to discuss the storage for a mobile app. My day to day is working with mobile applications, but to really create a great experience for mobile you often need to have some server capabilities and that might mean talking to app using Azure Mobile Services or it may mean using a hosted ASP.NET server where you connect into the infrastructure. We’re going to look at a couple of the options for this. I’m going to show you a mobile app running on Android using Xamarin.Forms that is connecting to Azure storage for its app and we’ll step through the code to see how its linking up. We’ll also look at an ASP.NET application that is connecting to Azure Storage. In this scenario you may have some fine control and you are exposing this connectivity and control through ASP.NET MVC Web Api which your mobile applications connect to via rest.
#5: Why is storage so important. Think about the types of servers that you would be running. You need to store files for images, for documents, for audio.In fact any file that might be unique for a server you will need to store it. The problem is that your servers normally have a finite storage capacity by default, that is if you are running Virtual Machines or similar. This is where one of my rules come into effect
#6: Rule #1 is simple. The server should not use any resources on your machine so that the server will reach the limits of its capacity. You should look to offload those kinds of mechanisms to connected servers. This includes databases as well as storage. Databases have been discussed to no-end so we will look at the Storage capabilities This directly affects scalability and the sooner you can separate it, the sooner you can manage the scalability of your services.
#7: W e’ll take a look at connecting to storage first via the mobile app and then via a web api service. Lets start with the mobile app service
#10: Regardless of what you kind of system you are making, these tend to be the common scenarios that you will be running through. You need to make sure you have a container which means you need to set one up in Azure You need to get the details of the connection string for the Storage system as well as the container name. We will then use these systems to connect in
#11: I’m a big fan of having a simple API that is testable using my scenarios, so I tend to: Create a façade around the object Unit test the façade to make sure it works the way I expect Then I have a level of comfort about how it will work when I’ve deployed it.
