New Functions in SQL Server 2017.


1. TRANSLATE: It basically takes a string as input and then translates the characters with some new characters, see below 

Syntax:  TRANSLATE ( inputString, characters, translations)

For Example : 

SELECT TRANSLATE ('4*{13+13}/[8-4]','[]{}','()()')

Output : 4*(13+13)/(8-4)

This function is work as REPLACE function. but TRANSLATE function is easier to use and also useful when we have to replace more than one value in the string.


2. CONCATE_WS:  It simply concats all input arguments with the specified input delimiter.

Syntax : CONCAT_WS ( separator, argument1, argument1, [argumentN]… )

For Example :

SELECT CONCAT_WS(',','Count', 'nikhil', 'hardik', 'nilesh', 'sandip' ) AS counter;

Output : nikhil, hardik, nilesh, sandip


3. TRIM:  It simply works as the C# trim function, removes all spaces from start and end of the string.

Syntax: TRIM(inputString)

For Example :

SELECT TRIM('     Nikhil Sangani    ') AS result;

Output : Nikhil Sangani

It removes only space from start and ends, not between the word and string.

4. String_AGG:  It will used to create single comma-separated string.

Syntax: String_AGG(column name,',')

For Example :
create table names ( [name] varchar(50) )go 

 insert into names values ('nikhil'),('mikin'),('nikunj'),('dharmesh')

 Here I have used stuff

 select stuff((select ',' + [name] as [text()] 
from names for xml path('')),1,1,'')

 Here I have used string_agg

 select string_agg([name],',') from names

Output : nikhil,mikin,nikunj,dharmesh

Step 1 - Publish your .net Core application: First, create a .net core application on VS; you can make an MVC project or Web API project and if you already have an existing project, then open it. Right Click on your project Click on publish Now create a new publish profile, and browse the folder where you want to publish your project dll Click on publish so it will create your dll in the folder Step 2 - Install required .net Module on Linux: Now we have our web application dll and now we need to host it on the Linux environment. First, we need to understand how the deployment works in Linux. .Net applications run on Kestrel servers and we run Apache or Nginx server in Linux environments, which acts as a proxy server and handles the traffic from outside the machine and redirects it to the Kestrel server so we will have Apache or Nginx server as the middle layer. In this article, we will use Apache as a proxy ser...

How to write Unit Tests in .net

Unit tests are automated tests that verify the behavior code like methods and functions. Writing unit tests is crucial to clean coding, as they help ensure your code works as intended and catches bugs early in the development process. I can share some tips for writing effective unit tests: Write tests for all public methods Every public method in your code should have a corresponding unit test. This helps ensure that your code behaves correctly and catches any unexpected behavior early. public class Calculator { public int Add(int a, int b) { return a + b; } } [TestClass] public class CalculatorTests { [TestMethod] public void Add_ShouldReturnCorrectSum() { // Arrange Calculator calculator = new Calculator(); int a = 1; int b = 2; // Act int result = calculator.Add(a, b); // Assert Assert.AreEqual(3, result); } } Test boundary conditions  Make sure to test boundary conditions, such a...
