What's new in SQL Server 2016? | 2016, 2017 and 2018

What Is the difference between SQL 2012 and 2016?

Top 7 Features Coming to SQL Server 2016, let's see in the detail with examples.

1.    Query Store
2.    Polybase
3.    Stretch Database
4.    JSON Support
5.    Row Level Security
6.    Always Encrypted
7.    In-Memory Enhancements

Query Store

Microsoft maintains query store upgrading most of all versions but What happens in this version?

Actually, In this version Microsoft trying to maintains a history of query execution plans with query performance and quickly queries etc.









PolyBase

Microsoft is introduced Polybase,  This is a data processing technique that is called SQL Server connector.

This SQL connector provides the connectivity to Azure Blob Storage and Hadoop using database tables query and Its dealing to a lot of large text files.






Stretch Database


In this section, Microsoft is trying to reduce your storage cast by a hybrid feature that is called Stretch Database.









JSON Support

JSON Support Is very awesome features (https://smallseotools.com/json-formatter/),  Using these features you can direct querying to Hadoop, SQL Server 2016 and also support to Lingua Franca.

Row Level Security

The SQL Server 2016 provide row-level security. It's very useful for multi-tenant environments and Its provide the limit to access the data based on role etc.


Always Encrypted

The SQL Server 2016 has the feature to supported both column level encryption and encryption in transit as well. 
The Always The encrypted mechanism provided an easy way to encryption to data and makes much better security.





In-Memory Enhancements

This feature already introduce in SQL Server 2014 but it has some limitation over data and issues like no-locking-issues and high-volume-session state issues.

Now in SQL Server 2016, Fixed the issues and trying to improved memory mgmt and Its also supporting foreign keys, check and unique constraints and parallelism also.

Insert multiple level JSON data into SQL Server 2016 -
Now Native JSON support in SQL Server 2016 and it provides you some functions to read and parse your JSON object to table format.

1.      The OPENJSON () table value function transforms JSON object to one or many rows. It will not execute any command. It just returns a table row if JSON text is properly formatted. OPENJSON function will also work with JSON arrays and this function can also open nested/hierarchical JSON objects. OPENJSON will just return set of rows instead of a single row.
2.      The JSON_Value () is a scalar function and used to returns a value from JSON on the specified path.

 There are some specific examples for OPENJSON read nested JSON –

Example 1 – OPENJSON AND JSON INPUT

DECLARE @json NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @json=N'{
            "Name":"Anil",
            "Surname":"Singh",
            "Age":32,
            "Skills":["SQL","C#","MVC","Angular 2, 4 and 5"]
}'
SELECT * FROM OPENJSON(@json);
Result –
Example 2 – OPENJSON AND JSON INPUT

DECLARE @json NVARCHAR(MAX)
set @json =N'[

nullinjectorerror no provider for httpclient angular 17

In Angular 17 where the standalone true option is set by default, the app.config.ts file is generated in src/app/ and provideHttpClient(). We can be added to the list of providers in app.config.ts Step 1:   To provide HttpClient in a standalone app we could do this in the app.config.ts file, app.config.ts: import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core'; import { provideRouter } from '@angular/router'; import { routes } from './app.routes'; import { provideClientHydration } from '@angular/platform-browser'; //This (provideHttpClient) will help us to resolve the issue  import {provideHttpClient} from '@angular/common/http'; export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {   providers: [ provideRouter(routes),  provideClientHydration(), provideHttpClient ()      ] }; The appConfig const is used in the main.ts file, see the code, main.ts : import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser'; import { appConfig } from ...

Why doesn't App Module exist in Angular 17?

Today, I just started exploring Angular version 17 using ng new and found a problem for the newly created project using the command - ng new. The problem is: Path "/src/app/app.module.ts" does not exist while doing ng add in the Angular project. The ‘ng new’ does not generate app.module.ts in the src root folder Angular CLI 17.0.0. From Angular 17 onwards, standalone is now the new default for the CLI . So when we create a new project ‘ app.module.ts ’ file will not create Path " /src/app/app.module.ts ". Run the following command to create the new project including the file ‘app.module.ts’ in your project: ng new AngularMap  --no-standalone Note: Here ‘AngularMap’ is the project name I created. Standalone components are a feature introduced in Angular version 14. Now the changes applied in angular 17 default, the Angular team strongly recommends using them as they are easier to use, and understand.

SOLID Principle - Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP)

The SOLID Principles are the design principles that enable us to manage several software design problems. These principles provide us with ways to move from tightly coupled code to loosely coupled and encapsulated real business needs properly. Also readable, adaptable, and scalable code. The SOLID Principles  guide developers as they write readable, adaptable, and scalable code or design an application. The SOLID Principles can be applied to any OOP program. The SOLID Principles were developed by computer science instructor and author Robert C. Martin. Now, SOLID principles have also been adopted in both agile development and adaptive software development. The 5 principles of SOLID are: 1.       Single-Responsibility Principle (SRP) 2.       Open-closed principle (OCP) 3.       Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP) 4.       Interface Segregation Principle (ISP) 5.    ...
