Definirea unui mecanism de comparare a entitatiilor din punct de vedere a structurii folosind IStructuralEquatable

Uneori avem nevoie sa putem compara clasele de tip POCO ca pe niste structuri. De exemplu daca avem clasa Student, dorim sa comparam entitatile de acest tip din punct de vedere a datelor pe care le contin.
class Student
{
public string Nume{ get;set;}
public string Prenume{ get;set;}
public int Varsta{ get;set;}
}
Pentru acest lucru sa folosim IStructuralEquatable. Aceasta interfata a fost creata pentru a fi folosita in tupluri. In cazul acestora, doua tupluri sunt egale daca fiecare element din tuplu este egal din celalalt tuplu.
Interfata contine doua metode:
bool Equals(Object other, IEqualityComparer comparer);
int GetHashCode(IEqualityComparer comparer);
Prin intermediul parametrului comparer se defineste mecanismul de comparare. Exista cateva implementari in .NET pentru IEqualityComparer prin care putem sa comparam siruriile de elemente - element cu element.
Valoarea default a acestui parametru este EqualityComparer>Object<.Default.Equals in cazul in care se foloseste mecanismul standard de comparare. O alta implementare este StructuralComparisons.StructuralEqualityComparer. Aceasta este folosita cand lucram cu tupluri sau cu clase ce implementeaza IStructuralEquatable.
Dar ne putem defini si noi propriul mecanism de comparare daca implementam IEqualityComparer. De exemplu in cazul nostru am putea sa avem:
public class FullNameComparer
{
public new bool Equals(object s1, object s2)
{
...
var student1 = s1 as Student;
var student2 = s2 as Student;
return student1.Nume == student2.Nume && student1.Prenume == student2.Prenume;
}
}
Pentru a putea compara doi studenti putem sa apelam( clasa Student trebuie sa implementeze IStructuralEquatable):

var student1 = new Student() { ... };
var student2 = new Student() { ... };
bool areEquals = student1.Equals(student2, new FullNameComparer());
Unde ne este utiliza aceasta interfata. Cand avem nevoie sa definim mai multe mecanism de comparare pentru o clasa de un anumit fel. Prin acest mecanism putem foarte usor sa trimitem printr-un parametru modul in care sa se faca compararea. Cel mai bine aceasta interfata se preteaza cand lucram cu tupluri.
Exista nenumarate solutii la aceasta problema, depinde de la caz.

Why Database Modernization Matters for AI

  When companies transition to the cloud, they typically begin with applications and virtual machines, which is often the easier part of the process. The actual complexity arises later when databases are moved. To save time and effort, cloud adoption is more of a cloud migration in an IaaS manner, fulfilling current, but not future needs. Even organisations that are already in the cloud find that their databases, although “migrated,” are not genuinely modernised. This disparity becomes particularly evident when they begin to explore AI technologies. Understanding Modernisation Beyond Migration Database modernisation is distinct from merely relocating an outdated database to Azure. It's about making your data layer ready for future needs, like automation, real-time analytics, and AI capabilities. AI needs high throughput, which can be achieved using native DB cloud capabilities. When your database runs in a traditional setup (even hosted in the cloud), in that case, you will enc...

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

In this post, we will talk about how we can audit an Azure Cosmos DB database. Before jumping into the problem let us define the business requirement: As an Administrator I want to be able to audit all changes that were done to specific collection inside my Azure Cosmos DB. The requirement is simple, but can be a little tricky to implement fully. First of all when you are using Azure Cosmos DB or any other storage solution there are 99% odds that you’ll have more than one system that writes data to it. This means that you have or not have control on the systems that are doing any create/update/delete operations. Solution 1: Diagnostic Logs Cosmos DB allows us activate diagnostics logs and stream the output a storage account for achieving to other systems like Event Hub or Log Analytics. This would allow us to have information related to who, when, what, response code and how the access operation to our Cosmos DB was done. Beside this there is a field that specifies what was th...

[Post Event] Azure AI Connect, March 2025

On March 13th, I had the opportunity to speak at Azure AI Connect about modern AI architectures.  My session focused on the importance of modernizing cloud systems to efficiently handle the increasing payload generated by AI.
