Can a .NET Core 3.0 compiled app run with a .NET Core 3.1 runtime?

Within our product we move more and more stuff in the .NET Core land. Last week we had a disussion around needed software requirements and in the .NET Framework land this question was always easy to answer: .NET Framework 4.5 or higher. With .NET Core the answer is sligthly different: In theory major versions are compatible, e.g. if you compiled your app with .NET Core 3.0 and a .NET ...

SqlBulkCopy for fast bulk inserts

Within our product OneOffixx we can create a “full export” from the product database. Because of limitations with normal MS SQL backups (e.g. compatibility with older SQL databases etc.), we created our own export mechanic. An export can be up to 1GB and more.

T-SQL Pagination

The problem This is pretty trivial: Let’s say you have blog with 1000 posts in your database, but you only want to show 10 entries “per page”. You need to find a way how to slice this dataset into smaller pieces. The solution In theory you could load everything from the database and filter the results “in memory”, but this would be quite stupid for many reasons (e.g. you load much more ...

Be afraid of varchar(max) with async EF or ADO.NET

Last month we had changed our WCF APIs to async implementations, because we wanted all those glorious scalability improvements in our codebase.
