This unit describes how to minimize data access conflicts, and how to handle
these conflicts when they occur. It describes how to implement optimistic
concurrency in the ADO.NET disconnected model, and how to implement optimistic
concurrency by using the various isolation levels available in SQL Server 2005.
After completing this unit, students will be able to:
- Explain why data conflicts arise.
- Describe the isolation levels that are
available in SQL Server 2005.
- Describe the guidelines for using SQL
Server 2005 isolation levels.
- Read committed data by using locks.
- Read committed data by using
statement-level snapshots.
- Read committed data by using
transaction-level snapshots.
- Handle data concurrency by using ADO.NET.
This unit describes how to read and write large values efficiently to a SQL
Server database. It describes how to read large binary values and large text
values by using SequentialAccess for a SqlDataReader. It also describes how to
write large binary values and large text values, and how to conserve resources
when writing large values.
After completing this unit, students will be able to:
- Describe binary large objects and character
large objects.
- Explain the process for reading large
objects from a database.
- Explain the process for writing large
objects to a database.
- Read large values from SQL Server.
- Write large values to SQL Server.
- Conserve resources when writing large values to SQL Server.
This unit describes how to enhance database performance by using new features
available in ADO.NET 2.0. The unit describes how to perform asynchronous data
operations, create multiple active result sets, perform batch updates, and
perform bulk copies.
After completing this unit, students will be able to:
- Describe the ADO.NET enhancements in
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.
- Describe the support for run-time
statistics in the .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server.
- Access multiple result sets concurrently.
- Perform asynchronous data access
operations.
- Perform a batch update.
- Perform a bulk data copy.
This unit describes how to create database objects for SQL Server 2005 in a .NET
Framework programming language. It describes how to create stored procedures,
triggers, user-defined functions, aggregates, and user-defined types in managed
code. Additionally, it describes how to deploy an assembly that contains managed
objects into SQL Server 2005, and how to declare database objects to reference
the managed objects.
After completing this unit, students will be able to:
- Describe the benefits of creating managed
code objects for SQL Server 2005.
- Explain the process for importing an
existing assembly into SQL Server 2005.
- Explain the process for implementing
managed code objects in SQL Server 2005.
- Create managed stored procedures and
triggers.
- Create managed user-defined functions.
- Create a managed aggregate.
- Create a managed user-defined type.
This unit describes how to use XPath in a .NET Framework application. It
describes how to create an XPathNavigator object on an XML document, and how to
locate content and evaluate expressions by using the XPathNavigator object.
Additionally, it describes how to edit XML data by using the XPathNavigator
object.
After completing this unit, students will be able to:
- Describe the XPath data model.
- Explain the process for selecting and
editing XML data by using XPathNavigator.
- Explain the process for evaluating XPath
expressions by using XPathNavigator.
- Select XML data by using XPathNavigator.
- Evaluate XPath expressions by using
XPathNavigator.
- Create and use compiled XPath expressions.
- Edit XML data by using XPathNavigator.
This unit describes how to transform XML documents in a .NET Framework
application. It introduces how to load an XSLT style sheet in an application,
and how to execute the style sheet to transform an XML document. The unit also
describes how to pass parameters into a style sheet, and how to create and use
extension objects.
After completing this unit, students will be able to:
- Describe the purpose of XSLT.
- Explain the process for executing an XSLT
style sheet.
- Describe the purpose of extension objects.
- Transform an XML document by using an XSLT
style sheet.
- Resolve external resources during XSLT
processing.
- Pass parameters into an XSLT style sheet.
- Create and use extension objects.
