Top 5 excellent features in SQL Server 2016

-
SQL server 2016 provides several features that helps to increase the performance, security, simplify the maintenance and data transformation. 

1. Always encrypted

This feature helps to encrypt only specific columns instead of whole database. 
Data are encrypted always i.e both in rest and in motion. It helps to avoid man-in-middle attacks.
To use this feature , the connection string in the client application should include the attribute
Column Encryption Setting = enabled;

2. JSON Support

JSON stands for Java Script Object Notation.
SQL server has a built in JSON support which helps to parse relational data into JSON formatted data and also vice versa. 
To export relational data into JSON, simply include
 FOR JSON [ auto | path]

3. Dynamic data Masking

Helps to provide security to our data. We can choose,
1. default masking : For masking full data
2. partial masking : For masking part of the data
3. email masking : For retaining email format
4. random masking : For replacing numeric value with random value.

4. Polybase

It is introduced to bridge the gap between hadoop and SQL server.
To use this polybase architecture, java runtime environment is used.
It helps to fetch data from hadoop by using t-sql queries.

5. Row level security

It helps to filter specific rows from being viewed by normal users. 
It can be achieved by adding predicates to the security policy(its a inline function).
We can add more predicated to security policy, and the predicates can be set as on or off.

Email Sending through O365 using OAuth Protocol

-
  Microsoft Office365 EWS servers have been extended to support authorization via the industry-standard OAuth 2.0 protocol. Using OAUTH protocol, user can do authentication by Microsoft Web OAuth instead of inputting user and password directly in application Microsoft / Office 365 OAuth + EWS We can use the OAuth authentication service provided by Azure Active Directory to enable our application to connect with IMAP, POP or SMTP protocols to access Exchange Online in Office 365. To use OAuth with our application we need to register application on Azure Active directory and other steps also we need to do to get the access token back. Below are the steps   To use Microsoft/Office365 OAUTH in your application, you must create an application in  https://portal.azure.com . Sign into the Azure portal using either a work or school account or a personal Microsoft account. If your account gives you access to more than one tenant, select your account in the top ...

IoT technology The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines.  IoT is a network of sensors where data is exchanged, using different connectivity protocols, with systems. This set up can be leveraged to create a new business application or to enhance an existing process. The exchange of the data can be bi-directional between sensors and systems Examples of sensors can be temperature sensors, motion sensors, flow meters, heart meter monitors, biometric devices, smoke detectors, & etc Examples of connectivity can be wifi, radio, GPRS, GSM, LAN, WAN, & etc. Examples of systems can be a remote health monitoring applications, SCADA applications, etc Look at next slide about the complete flow of IoT process Examples A doctor in US would like to monitor the heart rate and ECG of a patient in Hyderabad. This is done with the patient having sensors attached to him that collect the ECG data and the hea...

What is reverse proxy?

  What is a reverse proxy? A reverse proxy is a server that sits in front of web servers and forwards client (e.g. web browser) requests to those web servers. Reverse proxies are typically implemented to help increase  security ,  performance , and reliability . In order to better understand how a reverse proxy works and the benefits it can provide, let’s first define what a proxy server is. What’s a proxy server? A forward proxy, often called a proxy, proxy server, or web proxy, is a server that sits in front of a group of client machines. When those computers make requests to sites and services on the Internet, the proxy server intercepts those requests and then communicates with web servers on behalf of those clients, like a middleman. For example, let’s name 3 computers involved in a typical forward proxy communication: A: This is a user’s home computer B: This is a forward proxy server C: This is a website’s origin server (where the website data is stored) In a stand...
