MAX Function : SQL SERVER

The MAX function returns the maximum value of an expression. The syntax for the MAX function is: SELECT MAX(expression ) FROM tables WHERE predicates; Simple Example For example, you might wish to know the maximum salary of all employees. SELECT MAX(salary) as "Highest salary" FROM employees; In this example, we've aliased the max(salary) field as "Highest salary". As a result, "Highest salary" will display as the field name when the result set is returned. Example using GROUP BY In some cases, you will be required to use a GROUP BY clause with the MAX function. For example, you could also use the MAX function to return the name of each department and the maximum salary in the department. SELECT department, MAX(salary) as "Highest salary" FROM employees GROUP BY department; Because you have listed one column in your SELECT statement that is not encapsulated in the MAX function, you must use a GROUP BY clause. The depar...

Joins Operator: SQL SERVER

A join is used to combine rows from multiple tables. A join is performed whenever two or more tables is listed in the FROM clause of an SQL statement. There are different kinds of joins. Let's take a look at a few examples. Inner Join (simple join) Chances are, you've already written an SQL statement that uses an inner join. It is the most common type of join. Inner joins return all rows from multiple tables where the join condition is met. For example, SELECT suppliers.supplier_id, suppliers.supplier_name, orders.order_date FROM suppliers, orders WHERE suppliers.supplier_id = orders.supplier_id; This SQL statement would return all rows from the suppliers and orders tables where there is a matching supplier_id value in both the suppliers and orders tables. Outer Join Another type of join is called an outer join. This type of join returns all rows from one table and only those rows from a secondary table where the joined fields are equal (join condition is met). For ...

SUM Function: SQL SERVER

The SUM function returns the summed value of an expression. The syntax for the SUM function is: SELECT SUM(expression ) FROM tables WHERE predicates; expression can be a numeric field or formula. Simple Example For example, you might wish to know how the combined total salary of all employees whose salary is above $25,000 / year. SELECT SUM(salary) as "Total Salary" FROM employees WHERE salary > 25000; In this example, we've aliased the sum(salary) field as "Total Salary". As a result, "Total Salary" will display as the field name when the result set is returned. Example using DISTINCT You can use the DISTINCT clause within the SUM function. For example, the SQL statement below returns the combined total salary of unique salary values where the salary is above $25,000 / year. SELECT SUM(DISTINCT salary) as "Total Salary" FROM employees WHERE salary > 25000; If there were two salaries of $30,000/year, only one ...

Get Country Name Through IP Address

There are situations where we have to track visitors. The tracking might include the country from the visitor has browsed the website. These statistics are often important. The major advantage of this method is a single DLL. It does not require any database setup etc. You just need to add reference to the IpToCountryLib DLL provided in the solution. To resolve the country name, the library API to be used is "GetCountry". GetCountry takes in a string parameter which is the IP Address and returns the country name as the out parameter. This is the code of the function, C# public bool GetCountry(string userHostIpAddress, out string countryName) { bool result = false; countryName = string.Empty; if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(userHostIpAddress)) return false; IPAddress ipAddress; if (IPAddress.TryParse(userHostIpAddress, out ipAddress)) { countryName = ipAddress.Country(); result = true; } return result; } To use the function you will do a call like this, C#, string country; GetCountry(...

Managing State with ASP.NET and C#

Web Applications are disconnected in nature which means that there is no way for the browser to know who is using the application at present time. In classic Asp programming maintaining state was a headache for the developers. They had to write alot of code to maintain state. But Asp.net model provides easy state management. In this article we will see how we can persist state in multiple pages so the user is recognized by the browser. Preserving State in Web ApplicationsThere are number of ways that you can use to preserve the State of the Web Application. Here are some of the possible ways listed. 1) Using Cookies (Client Side State Management technique) 2) Using Session States 3) Using Application States 4) Using HttpContext collection 5) Using ViewState (Client Side State Management technique) These are only some ways of storing the state of the user as well as the application. In this article we will see few of them in detail.
