Interface Vs Abstract

Interface..
1. A class can implement from many interfaces
2. A class may or may not implement all methods of an interface
3. There can no fields in a interface
4. There can be no access modifiers. By default all methods are public.
5. No default implementation allowed in interface
6. Define peripherial abilities of a class which two different types of sub classes can inherit
7. Performance: codes requires more time to find the actual method in a class
8. Adding new method to base interface class would require finding all classes that implement the interface and implementing new method


Abstract
1. A class can inherit from only one abstract class
2. A class has to implement all methods of an interface
3. Fields are allowed
4. Different access modifiers are allowed.
5. You can provide default implementations
6. Defines core abilities of a class.
7. Performace: fast
8. Adding new method, we can provide a default implementation for all classes in one base abstract class.

A good example can be viewed at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/abstractsvsinterfaces.aspx

Searching Unicode characters in Oracle table

Oracle implementation of Regular expression has no support for using hexadecimal code to search for Unicode characters. The only way to search for Unicode character is it use the character itself. Normally with Regular expression, you can use \x or \u followed by hexadecimal code to search for any character. E.g. \x20 will match space. But REGEXP_LIKE in Oracle does not support \x. You need to use unistr function to convert the code to equivalent character and then use it with REGEXP_LIKE. E.g. REGEXP_LIKE(source,'[' ||unistr('\0020')|| ']');

C# Performance Improvement - The Power of StringBuilder

 Often when we are wring code we don't think about performance and go with the default options available to achieve a task. String concatenation is one such scenario. If you are doing simple and few string catenations, then you can use the following result = string1 + string2; string1+= string2; result = String.Concat(string1,string2); String.Format and string interpolation are few other options.  However when you are performing large and repetitive  operation, string catenation can be expensive. Here is an example to prove the point.  As you can see it took 41 seconds to perform 100k string catenation. Now lets replace this with StringBuilder and see.  8 ms!!!!!! That is a massive performance difference. Hope you get the point. More info on StringBuilder can be found here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.text.stringbuilder?view=net-7.0

How to get started with .Net Core and Lambda functions?

 Recently I started experimenting with .Net Core and AWS Lambda functions, I thought I will share the steps I took to get started Tools to install .Net Core 3.1 -  https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/3.1 AWS CLI -  https://aws.amazon.com/cli/   AWS Account - 12 months Free Tier -  https://aws.amazon.com/free Terminal - on iOS I use iTerm2 -  https://www.iterm2.com   Once you installed the above tools, head to AWS console and login with your root account to create an account which will be used by AWS CLI. Please see steps here   Now you can configure AWS CLI as detailed here . Verify that you able to connect to AWS service using CLI. To make life little easy with dotnet core and Lambda functions, you need to install AWS Extensions nuget pack for .Net CLI dotnet tool install -g Amazon.Lambda.Tools You can also install templates to get started quickly  dotnet new -i Amazon.Lambda.Templates That's it. Now the fun part!!!  Creat...
