What is SQL view? Why use View instead of a Table? Advantages and Drawbacks

What is SQL view?
The View is a virtual table, which not create physically, it create logically only. We insert, update & delete the records from a view.

In view there are no any physical relations in the database and the view is a virtual table based on the result set of an SQL statement.

Why use View instead of a Table?
A table contains data but the View dose not stored set of data values in a database and the view is only a SELECT statement.

A view can combine columns/rows from multiple tables.

Views are work like a security layers and we can handle security issues.

Views can be used as security mechanisms and its display only those data that you granting the permissions in this view.

Advantages of View:-
We can hide so of table columns.

Views can model complex joins easily.

Views are work like a security layers and we can handle security issues.

Drawbacks of View: -
When table is dropped or modified, view becomes inactive; it depends on the table objects.

If we querying from views, it will takes more time than directly querying from the tables.

We can lose information about relations (primary, foreign keys).

How to create View “Virtual Table”?

Syntax:-
-- CREATE VIEWS
CREATE VIEW View_Name 
AS
    SELECT Column_Name
    FROM Table_Name
WHERE your_Conditions

Example for Create View:-
-- CREATE ACTIVE CUSTOMERS VIEWS
CREATE VIEW vw_Active_Customers
AS
    SELECT Id, Name, CreatedOn, UpdatedBy
    FROM [dbo].[Customer]
WHERE IsCurrent =  1


-- SELECT ACTIVE CUSTOMERS VIEWS
SELECT * FROM [dbo].[vw_Active_Customers]


-- DROP VIEW 
DROP VIEW [dbo].[vw_Active_Customers]

React | Encryption and Decryption Data/Text using CryptoJs

To encrypt and decrypt data, simply use encrypt () and decrypt () function from an instance of crypto-js. Node.js (Install) Requirements: 1.       Node.js 2.       npm (Node.js package manager) 3.       npm install crypto-js npm   install   crypto - js Usage - Step 1 - Import var   CryptoJS  =  require ( "crypto-js" ); Step 2 - Encrypt    // Encrypt    var   ciphertext  =  CryptoJS . AES . encrypt ( JSON . stringify ( data ),  'my-secret-key@123' ). toString (); Step 3 -Decrypt    // Decrypt    var   bytes  =  CryptoJS . AES . decrypt ( ciphertext ,  'my-secret-key@123' );    var   decryptedData  =  JSON . parse ( bytes . toString ( CryptoJS . enc . Utf8 )); As an Example,   import   React   from   'react' ; import   './App.css' ; //Including all libraries, for access to extra methods. var   CryptoJS  =  require ( "crypto-js" ); function   App () {    var   data

Angular 7 and 8 Validate Two Dates - Start Date & End Date

In this example, I am sharing “ How to compare or validate two dates in Angular? ” using custom validation function in Angular 7 and Angular 8 . Here, I’m validating the two dates  - a start date and end date. The end date should be greater than the Start date”. Let’s see the example :- import { Component , OnInit } from '@angular/core' ; import { UserRequest } from '../model/user' ; @ Component ({   selector: 'User_Cal' ,   templateUrl: './usercal.component.html' ,   styleUrls: [ './usercal.component.css' ] }) export class UserCalComponent implements OnInit {   constructor ( private EncrDecr : EncrDecrService , private   http :  HttpClient ,               private datePipe : DatePipe ) {                            }   //model class   model = new UserRequest ( null , null , null , null , null );   //Error Display   error : any ={ isError: false , errorMessage: '' };   isValid

Encryption and Decryption Data/Password in Angular

You can use crypto.js to encrypt data. We have used 'crypto-js'.   Follow the below steps, Steps 1 –  Install CryptoJS using below NPM commands in your project directory npm install crypto-js --save npm install @types/crypto-js –save After installing both above commands it looks like  – NPM Command  1 ->   npm install crypto-js --save NPM Command  2 ->   npm install @types/crypto-js --save Steps 2  - Add the script path in “ angular.json ” file. "scripts" : [                "../node_modules/crypto-js/crypto-js.js"               ] Steps 3 –  Create a service class “ EncrDecrService ” for  encrypts and decrypts get/set methods . Import “ CryptoJS ” in the service for using  encrypt and decrypt get/set methods . import  {  Injectable  }  from   '@angular/core' ; import   *   as   CryptoJS   from   'crypto-js' ; @ Injectable ({    providedIn:   'root' }) export   class   EncrDecrS
