Lock Timeout vs SQL Timeout

Lock Timeout:

Lock timeout mean, one user is accessing data same time if other one user wants to access it, it will lock wait timeout for the second user and after some time it will be time out for the second user.


How to resolve them?

Setting the SQL Server Lock_Timeout Interval

If you don't want to wait forever for a lock to become available, SQL Server offers the lock_timeout interval, which case is set as follows:

SET LOCK_TIMEOUT {Millisecond}

 

You specify the timeout interval in milliseconds, i.e. for a 10 second interval use the below code:

SET LOCK_TIMEOUT 10000

 

Setting the SQL Server Lock_Timeout Interval with Query Re-attempt Logic

We can use the lock_timeout to check for blocking that exceeds a certain limit and instead of failing the process due to the lock_timeout or waiting indefinitely for the locks to become free, we can set a delay and re-attempt the command again.  This could also be helpful for deadlock situations.

 

SQL Timeout:

Increase the timeout you allow the query to run before a timeout is thrown i.e.

cmd.CommandTimeout = 180;  // number of seconds

 

The Optimation steps would be:

1) Check if the table contains redundancy, if so normalize it

2) Use Index for speed search.

3) Use pagination to display. So that no needs to fetch that much record in a single query

4) If your business logic depends on that much records (some calculation of something), use a stored procedure to do that or use appropriate aggregate queries.

5) Repository pattern with identity mapper is a good way to reuse the previously obtained records.

 

Note:

One of the first lines of defense in determining the causes of database slowdowns is to use sp_who2. sp_who2 shows all the sessions that are currently established in the database. These are denoted as SPID‘s, or Server process Id’s.

EXEC sp_who2

 

There are four main things to look for when diagnosing slowdowns.

1) Blocking

2) High CPU usage

3) High IO usage

4) Multiple entries for the same SPID representing parallelism

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

25 Best Vue.js 2 Interview Questions and Answers

What Is Vue.js? The Vue.js is a progressive JavaScript framework and used to building the interactive user interfaces and also it’s focused on the view layer only (front end). The Vue.js is easy to integrate with other libraries and others existing projects. Vue.js is very popular for Single Page Applications developments. The Vue.js is lighter, smaller in size and so faster. It also supports the MVVM ( Model-View-ViewModel ) pattern. The Vue.js is supporting to multiple Components and libraries like - ü   Tables and data grids ü   Notifications ü   Loader ü   Calendar ü   Display time, date and age ü   Progress Bar ü   Tooltip ü   Overlay ü   Icons ü   Menu ü   Charts ü   Map ü   Pdf viewer ü   And so on The Vue.js was developed by “ Evan You ”, an Ex Google software engineer. The latest version is Vue.js 2. The Vue.js 2 is very similar to Angular because Evan You was inspired by Angular and the Vue.js 2 components looks like -

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
