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...

Cloud Myths: Migrating to the cloud is quick and easy (Pill 2 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

The idea that migration to the cloud is simple, straightforward and rapid is a wrong assumption. It’s a common misconception of business stakeholders that generates delays, budget overruns and technical dept. A migration requires laborious planning, technical expertise and a rigorous process.  Migrations, especially cloud migrations, are not one-size-fits-all journeys. One of the most critical steps is under evaluation, under budget and under consideration. The evaluation phase, where existing infrastructure, applications, database, network and the end-to-end estate are evaluated and mapped to a cloud strategy, is crucial to ensure the success of cloud migration. Additional factors such as security, compliance, and system dependencies increase the complexity of cloud migration.  A misconception regarding lift-and-shits is that they are fast and cheap. Moving applications to the cloud without changes does not provide the capability to optimise costs and performance, leading to ...

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills) The idea that moving to the cloud reduces the costs is a common misconception. The cloud infrastructure provides flexibility, scalability, and better CAPEX, but it does not guarantee lower costs without proper optimisation and management of the cloud services and infrastructure. Idle and unused resources, overprovisioning, oversize databases, and unnecessary data transfer can increase running costs. The regional pricing mode, multi-cloud complexity, and cost variety add extra complexity to the cost function. Cloud adoption without a cost governance strategy can result in unexpected expenses. Improper usage, combined with a pay-as-you-go model, can result in a nightmare for business stakeholders who cannot track and manage the monthly costs. Cloud-native services such as AI services, managed databases, and analytics platforms are powerful, provide out-of-the-shelve capabilities, and increase business agility and innovation. H...
