Database Overview
Overview
_
A Database is an organized collection of information that is divided into tables. Each table is further divided into rows and columns; these columns store the actual information. _ You access a database using Structured Query Language (SQL), which is a standard language supported by most database software including SQL Server, Access, and Oracle. Query operations are divided into three different categories Data Definition Language (DDL) _ _ Commands are used to create and manage the objects in a database. Example: create, modify, and drop databases, tables, indexes, -:
Data Control Language (DCL) _ _ Statements control the security permissions for users and database objects. Specific user or users who belong to a database role or W Data Manipulation Language (DML) _ _ Statements used to work with data. Retrieve data (select), insert rows into a table, modify values,
and delete rows . W hat's New in SQL Server 2005?

Eliminating Duplicate Rows

_ _ Use the DISTINCT clause to remove duplicate rows in the result set. This example retrieves all rows from the suppliers table but displays each country name only once. USE adventureworks SELECT DISTINCT City FROM Person.Address
Ex: SELECT DISTINCT City FROM Person.Address
Displaying the TOP n Rows in Results Set

_
Ex:
Use To n to specify that you want SQL Server to return only a specific number of rows in the results
FROM Sales.SalesOrderDetail
- 14 -
Performance Considerations
_ Use positive rather than negative search conditions. Negative search conditions such as NOT BETWEEN, NOT IN, and IS NOT N ULL. May slow data retrieval because all rows are evaluated. _ Avoid using the LIKE search condition if you can write a more specific query. Data retrieval may be slower when you use the LIKE search condition. _ _ Use exact matches or ranges as search conditions when possible. Again, specific queries perform better. Data retrieval may decrease if you use the ORDER BY clause because SQL Server must determine and sort the result set before it returns the first row.

Use a DataReader when you DataReader need fast access and need only to read through the data from beginning to end one time. The DataReader is data source specific. A DataAdapter manages the process of communicating with the data source. Commands are associated with a DataAdapter DataAdapter. When a command is executed, the DataAdapter automatically opens and closes the connection with the data source. The DataAdapter is data source specific. The DataSet is the client-side, inmemory copy of the data. DataAdapters fill the DataSet tables, rows, and columns using data from the data source. DataSets are source neutral, meaning DataSet they can contain data from different kinds of data sources. DataSets also have multiple tables.

DataAdapter
The DataAdapter class functions very much like an electrical plug. An electrical plug connects an appliance to a power source. The DataAdapter connects a DataSet (or DataTable) to a data source. This "plug" has four prongs, one for each type of connection that can take place: InsertCommand This command is executed when an item in an associated DataTable is ready to be inserted into the data source. DeleteCommand This command is executed when an item in an associated DataTable is ready to be deleted from the data source. UpdateCommand This command is executed to commit pending changes to an item in a DataTable. SelectCommand This command is executed to populate the DataTable or DataSet with the information retrieved from the data source.

There are many parameters that could be specified in a connection string. Each of those parameter names needs to be spelled properly with a valid value in order for us to establish a connection to the database successfully. Not only could it get difficult to remember each parameter name and its spellings properly ADO.NET 2.0 tries to address this problem by providing a DbConnectionStringBuilder class. The

How to Make Arabic Column in DataGridView

Because we can not name any column to be Arabic in any RDBMS so some people make applications that have Arabic Interface therefore, DataGridView Can Solve This Problem by Give Arabic Name to Your Column When You Display Your Data.
There are to way to make Arabic column in DataGridView, the first way is so easy it depend on Change the Header Text of DataGridView as the following:
dataGridView1.Columns[0].HeaderText = " dataGridView1.Columns[1].HeaderText = " dataGridView1.Columns[2].HeaderText = " _ ____ ___ "; _
ADO.NET QUICK REFERENCE - 39 dataGridView1.RightToLeft
= true;
2.zAdd cells you created to be hosted in dataGridView1

dataGridView1.Columns.AddRange(new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn[] { idDataGridViewTextBoxColumn, ADO.NET QUICK REFERENCEnameDataGridViewTextBoxColumn,
between the cell which
you write on it Arabic text and the column
idDataGridViewTextBoxColumn.DataPropertyName = "id";
Example
private void {
T he second way as the following:DataGridViewTextBoxColumn

and editing of text strings.
DataGridViewTextBoxColumn: used to host cells that enable displaying
idDataGridViewTextBoxColumn; DataGridViewTextBoxColumn nameDataGridViewTextBoxColumn; DataGridViewTextBoxColumn ageDataGridViewTextBoxColumn; Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
idDataGridViewTextBoxColumn = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn(); nameDataGridViewTextBoxColumn = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn(); ageDataGridViewTextBoxColumn = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn(); dataGridView1.Columns.AddRange(new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn[] {
Steps
1.zCreate instance from DataGridViewTextBoxColumn class

using (SqlConnection sqlCon = new SqlConnection( @"Your Connection String")) { SqlCommand cmd = sqlCon.CreateCommand(); cmd.CommandText = "Select * from StudentInfo"; SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(); adapter.SelectCommand = cmd; DataSet dset = new DataSet(); ageDataGridViewTextBoxColumn}); adapter.Fill(dset); idDataGridViewTextBoxColumn.DataPropertyName = "id"; ";
idDataGridViewTextBoxColumn, nameDataGridViewTextBoxColumn, ageDataGridViewTextBoxColumn});
3.zOk, after you add cells to dataGridView you want to make link
idDataGridViewTextBoxColumn.Name = "idDataGridViewTextBoxColumn";
// // nameDataGridViewTextBoxColumn // nameDataGridViewTextBoxColumn.DataPropertyName = "name"; idDataGridViewTextBoxColumn.HeaderText = " _ ";
ADO.NET QUICK REFERENCE - 40 - = idDataGridViewTextBoxColumn.HeaderText nameDataGridViewTextBoxColumn.HeaderText

Using Stored Procedures in ADO.NET

A stored procedure is a module of code that allows you to reuse a desired piece of functionality and call that functionality by name.
Stored procedures are SQL statements that allow you to perform a task repeatedly. You can create a procedure once and reuse it any number of times in your program
SQL injection attack

To solve the problem of SQL injection you have two choices o First: use a stored procedure
Second: To se SQL Parameterise
If you use a stored procedure that uses a parameter, it provides a level of protection against SQL injection attacks in a Web application. A SQL injection attack uses T-SQL code entered by a user to access unauthorized information. This can make SQL Server more vulnerable to future attack, as a hacker gathers information about the structures used in SQL Server he problem of SQL drop the table by pass drop statement in the injections see tex tbox . how I will

Parameters to Commands
As we take about the hacking, adding Injection. ADO.NET QUICK REFERENCE problem of SQL Injection and the problem of Parameters to Commands is another solution to avoid SQL
// don't ever do this! SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand ( "select * from Customers where city = '" + inputCity + "'";
W hen working with data, you'll often want to filter results based on some criteria. Typically, this is done by accepting input from a user and using that input to form a SQL query. For example, a sales person may need to see all orders between specific dates. Another query might be to filter customers by city. As you know, the SQL query assigned to a SqlCommand object is simply a string. So, if you want to filter a query, you could build the string dynamically, but you wouldn't want to. Here is a bad example of filtering a query .
Don't ever build a query this way! The input variable, inputCity, is typically retrieved from a TextBox control on either a Windows form or a W eb Page. Anything placed into that TextBox control will be put intoinputCity and added to your SQL string. This situation invites a hacker to replace that string with something malicious. In the worst case, you could give full control of your computer away. Instead of dynamically building a string, as shown in the bad example above, use parameters. Anything placed into a parameter will be treated as field data, not part of the SQL statement, which makes your application much more secure. Using parameterized queries is a three step process: 1.zConstruct the SqlCommand command string withas parameters. ADO.NET QUICK REFERENCE 46 - SqlCommand 2.zDeclare 3.zAssign Parameters the a SqlParameter SqlParameter property. object, object assigning to the values appropriate. object's
