To send the output of a PowerShell cmdlet to a file use Out-File.

Syntax:

.\pwrshl.ps1 | Out-File -FilePath .\my.log

Notes:

• Use the -NoClobber to prevent from overriding an existing output file
• There are ways to specify the output file encoding type

The SUBSTRING function has the following syntax:

SUBSTRING ( expression, start, length )

Notes:

1. It's an error to have a NULL expression
2. The start is 1 based

To get around the NULL expression scenario, use the CASE WHEN ... expression in TSQL.

Use Case: In cases where there are multiple HTTP requests and the code needs to wait until the responses from all the HTTP requests are available.

forkJoin waits for each HTTP request to complete and group’s all the observables returned by each HTTP call into a single observable array and finally return that observable array.

The result of a forkJoin is an Observable. The data returned when all of the HTTP request are fullfilled, is an array with elements in the same order as they were presented in the array passed to the forkJoin rxjs library function.

Actions are operations exposed by an OData service that MAY have side effects when invoked. Actions MAY return data but MUST NOT be further composed with additional path segments.

Functions are operations exposed by an OData service that MUST return data and MUST have no observable side effects.

These are similar to SQL functions versus stored procedures.

In SQL, functions are generally used to query, whereas stored procedures could be used for both query and modifications (update/insert/delete).

Changes are only detected when the databound input property is changed via a template's binding. If the changes are done manually to a property on a component class, the change is not detected.

sp_rename '{table_name}.{column_old_name}', '{column_new_name}', 'COLUMN';

Microsoft recommends that you drop and recreate the table so that scripts and stored procedures are not broken.

EXEC sp_rename 'schemaName.oldTableName', 'newTableName';

A test fixture sets up the system under test (SUT) for the software testing process by initializing it (configuration and/or data) satisfying any preconditions the system may have.

Example: initialize a database with known parameters before running a test.

This allows for tests to be repeatable, which is one of the key features of an effective test framework.

In a non-software context, such as circuit boards, a test fixture is a setup or another device designed to hold the device under test (DUT) in place and allow it to be tested.

SELECT   {col_name},
         COUNT({col_name}) AS dupe_cnt
FROM     {table_name}
GROUP BY {col_name}
HAVING   COUNT({col_name}) > 1
ORDER BY COUNT({col_name}) DESC

Replace:

1. {col_name} with the column name being examined
2. {table_name} with the respective table name

Returns the table's column length in bytes:

COL_LENGTH ( 'table' , 'column' )

The trigger files are stored in a location similar to:

/common/workflows/datafactory/trigger/*.json

Each trigger has the following information:

Roslyn

• The .NET Platform Compiler i.e. compiles your C# (etc) code into IL
• Has a public API e.g. could be included in your app to compile other code on-the-fly

RyuJIT

• Compiles the Roslyn generated IL into native code (only x64)
• No public API available

The TRACERT diagnostic utility determines the route to a destination by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo packets to the destination.

The .NET Portability Analyzer is an open source tool that is utitlized to analyze assemblies, files or directory of files for compatibility across .NET implementations.

This tool reports on the compatibility of the current app across .NET implementations.

It comes as:

1. Visual Studio Extension - analyzes individual assemblies/projects or the solution
2. A console app (ApiPort) - analyzes assemblies/files/directories

In VS Code, there are two core debugging modes, Launch and Attach.

1. Starting in the browser
   • When you open DevTools in a browser, you are attaching DevTools to the open browser tab.
2. Starting in the code editor
   • The editor launches your process, and it automatically attaches its debugger to the newly launched process.

References:

• https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/editor/debugging#_launch-configurations

A configuration file allows you to configure and save debugging setup details.

VS Code keeps debugging configuration information in a launch.json file located in a .vscode folder in your workspace (project root folder)

1. ng --version (or ng v)

2. Open Developer Tools in the browser. Under the 'Elements' tab, look for html/body/app-root[ng-version]

3. To render the Angular version on a page, import VERSION from @angular/cli.

const version = VERSION.full;

Dry-run: The command git remote prune origin --dry-run lists branches that can be deleted/pruned on your local.

To remove the local remove '--dry-run'.
