submitted by maartenba(5845) 3 years, 1 month ago

Think of it like building an appliation that can host plugins, which in turn can also be composed of different plugins. Since examples say a thousand times more than text, let’s go ahead with a sample leveraging MEF in an ASP.NET MVC web application. read more...

Interesting Observation of ON Clause on LEFT JOIN(blog.sqlauthority.com)

submitted by pinaldave(9662) 3 years, 2 months ago

Very simple explanation of : Although the placement of such predicates does not make a difference for INNER joins, they might cause a different result when OUTER joins are involved. This is because the predicates in the ON clause are applied to the table before the join, whereas the WHERE clause is semantically applied to the result of the join. read more...

Interesting Observation - Effect of Clustered Index over Nonclustered(blog.sqlauthority.com)

submitted by pinaldave(9662) 3 years, 3 months ago

Query optimization is one art which is difficult to master. Just like any other art this requires creativity and imagination as well understanding of subject matter. Let us look at interesting observation which I came across. In our example we have one query which is not using any index. On the same table there is already nonclustered index created, which is also not being used. Now when we created clustered index on the same table, our query suddenly started to use nonclustered index which was so far it is not using. The interesting part of this is that query is using nonclustered index when clustered index is created on the same. read more...
