Connection String in ASP.NET With SQL Server

Connection string can be placed in web.config file found in root directory of the application from .NET 3.5 onward.
connection string can be specified with an xml tag <connectionStrings> inside <configuration> section of web.config file.

<connectionStrings> <add name="myConnectionString"
connectionString="Data Source=databaseServerName;
database=database-name;
uid=sqlUserName;password=sqlPassword;
Integrated Security=True|false|SSPI (any one options) ;"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClientSystem.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>

 We can use local database server of SQL Server by using
Data Source=(LocalDb)\MSSQLLocalDB
we can attach a local database file to the app_data directory by using the property
AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|\appDatabaseName.mdf in the connection string

Connection String can be accessed in a class file by using System.Configuration namespace
and using the ConfigurationManager class. 

SqlConnection con =new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["connectionStringName"].ConnectionString);

Pivot in Oracle for Dynamic Columns

Pivot in SQL refers to the change of rows into columns based on specific constraints. An example of pivot could be the transpose of matrix. Example: a matrix containing day as 1st row and sales as 2nd row for  specific day sun    10 mon  20 tue    30 The transpose of the above matrix would be sun mon tue 10  20  30 This is an example scenario of pivot in sql. Now, Lets get on to the actual tables in database and see how we can use pivot . Starting with a fictional scenario, assume a table which contains two columns DAYS and SALES. CREATE TABLE TEST.DAILY_SALES (   DAYS   VARCHAR2(10),   SALES  NUMBER ) insert into DAILY_SALES('SUN',10); insert into DAILY_SALES('MON',20); insert into DAILY_SALES('TUE',15); insert into DAILY_SALES('WED',25); insert into DAILY_SALES('THU',10); insert into DAILY_SALES('FRI',30); insert into DAILY_SALES('SAT',5); Now when we execute the following select statement se
