Generate table Scripts with Not If exist check and Insert scripts(table data).

Generating script is a very good option exists in SQL server through which we can generate script for whole DB or can generate scripts for selected objects (i.e. table, view, stored procedure etc.).
However sometime it is requirement that you need to generate script with check of if exists. For example you want to create a table in one DB but wanted to make sure it should not already exist. For such instance we can generate script with check of not existence.
Same way sometime there are requirement that table should be recreated with Data. And while generating script we can choose the option whether we want script of table or insert script of table or both.

Below I am showing script generation for both options:
    
     We have database Test_DB with one table tb_Student.


I have ran select query to check   the record in table (I just wanted to show that there are 5 records exist in table)


1.    Now Right click on DB and under Tasks click on Generate Scripts.


2.    Now under Choose Objects there are two options Scripts entire DB or Select specific DB objects. I have choose second option and selected table tb_Student, and click on Next


3.    On next screen we need to set scripting options, there is options of saving script of publish script to web service. Under save script there are three option of saving as: Save to file, Save to Clipboard or Save to new query window. I have selected third option Save to new query window.
4.    Now click on Advanced button.


5.    Under Advanced scripting options to generate script with not if exist check set Include If NOT EXISTS to True


6.  To generate script with data (i.e. insert scripts), set Types of data to script option to Schema and data and click OK and then click on Next. (If you want only create script then select script only and if you want only insert script then select Data only option).


7.    On Summary page one can check summary of selected scripts options, now click on Next. Once it’s finished click on Finish button.


8.    Now verify the scripts you can check scripts are generated with If NOT EXISTS check and inserts scripts are also created.



 Hope it helps!!!!!!

C#: Merging Excel cells with NPOI HSSFWorkbook

In this post we’ll see how to merge the two or more cell with each other while creating the excel sheet using NPOI . Mentioned below is code to merge multiple cells, in this example we are merging first cell to fifth cell of first row (you can adjust row or cell range by passing particular parameters in CellRangeAddress). //Created new Workbook var hwb = new NPOI.HSSF.UserModel. HSSFWorkbook (); //Create worksheet with name. var sheet = hwb.CreateSheet( "new sheet" ); //Create row and cell. var row = sheet.CreateRow(0); var cell = row.CreateCell(0); ; //Set text inside cell cell.SetCellValue( "This is Merged cell" ); cell.CellStyle.WrapText = true ; //define cell range address // parameters: -> first row to last and first cell to last cell var cra = new NPOI.SS.Util. CellRangeAddress (0, 0, 0, 4); //Add merged region to sheet. sheet.AddMergedRegion(cra); Hope this solution helps you J

Error 405 : ASP.NET Core Web API PUT and DELETE Methods not allowed

Recently, while working with .Net core API I came across the issue of “Error 405 — Methods not Allowed” After some research, I found out that both GET and POST requests working fine but neither PUT nor DELETE requests working. Another thing is that the PUT and DELETE request was also working fine on my local machine but failed when we host on our Azure server. When I explored the issue on the web it led me to the conclusion that WebDAVModule seems to set PUT and DELETE request methods disabled by default and due to that PUT and DELETE throw 405 errors. To make the PUT and DELETE requests work, we need to override the WebDAVModule setting in web.config file by adding the below settings under “ system.webServer ”. < system.webServer >   < modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests = " false " >     < remove name = " WebDAVModule " />   </ modules > </ system.webServer > There may be 2 web.config files in y...

How to set Swagger as the default start page for API hosted on the Azure web app?

I created an Asp.Net Core 2.x Web API and configured Swagger on it, below is the code added in Configure method under Startup.cs file, for full swagger configuration, check here //Add swagger configuration app.UseSwagger(); app.UseSwaggerUI(c => {     c.SwaggerEndpoint( "../swagger/v1/swagger.json" , "Test API V1" ); }); On my local machine when I run the API it is automatically redirected to the Swagger page. However, when I hosted this API as an Azure web app it is not redirecting directly to the Swagger and to access the swagger, I had to append /swagger in the URL, for example, https://testapi.azurewebsites.net/swagger/ Solution: Set RoutePrefix to string.Empty under app.UseSwaggerUI like below: app.UseSwaggerUI(c => {     c.SwaggerEndpoint( "../swagger/v1/swagger.json" , "Test API V1" );      c.RoutePrefix = string .Empty; // Set Swagger UI at apps root }); And that’s it, now when you b...
