Is online shopping safe?


Smart online shopping

m When you shop online, make sure you are smart about the whole purchasing process-know who you are dealing with, know what you are buying, be confident you will get what you have paid for, and ensure that your account and credit card details are being dealt with safely.
There are many advantages to shopping online-you can shop at any time, you don't need to worry about parking and your purchases are delivered to your door! Online auctionscan be a lot of fun and can also help you find good deals.
But there are some security traps to watch out for. Use your common sense and some simple steps to ensure your online shopping is as safe as possible.

Use your common sense and trust your instincts

Most shoppers know the warning signs to look for when buying something in a shop-the same applies to shopping online. Be wary if:
  • the website looks suspicious or unprofessional
  • the website is offering bargains which look too good to be true, they often are, or
  • you are not confident about their use of your information or that you will get what you pay for.

Before making the purchase

  • Know who you are dealing with-check that contact details are correct.
  • Know what you are buying-read the description of the product carefully-check the size, colour, value and safety of the product.
  • Read all the fine print including refund and complaints handling policies.
  • Check the currency, postage and handling and other charges-there may be extra charges you aren't aware of.
  • Check the final cost before paying.

Making the payment

  • Only pay via a secure web page (one that has a valid digital certificate) Look for the https at the beginning of the address bar and a locked padlock in the browser. Read more about digital certificates:Understanding digital certificates and why they are important to check (File size: 270Kb)
  • Use a secure payment method such as PayPal, BPay, or your credit card. Avoid money transfers and direct debit, as these can be open to abuse.
  • Never send your bank or credit card details via email-only via a secure web page.
  • Always print and keep a copy of the transaction.

Online auctions

Online auctions can be a lot of fun and can also help you find good deals.
They also attract scammers. Scammers will often try to get you to deal outside of online auction sites. They may claim the winner of an auction that you were bidding on has pulled out and offer the item to you. Once you have paid, you will never hear from them again and the auction site will not be able to help you.
  1. Always conduct transactions within the auction website and avoid private contact with buyers or sellers-scammers will often use this ploy to 'offer a better deal'.
  2. Keep printed and/or electronic records of all bids, item descriptions, emails to and from the seller, and transaction records or receipts.
  3. If the website uses a feedback rating system, check all comments left by previous buyers and sellers.
  4. Use a secure payment method such as PayPal, BPay, or credit card (where charge-back can be used).
  5. Only pay via a secure web page (one that has a valid digital certificate).
  6. Avoid money transfers and direct debit, because they can be open to abuse.
  7. Never send banking or credit card details via email-only use a secure web page for payment. For more information see Shopping online.
  8. Always print and keep a copy of the transaction.
  9. Consider using the insurance offered by the auction facility (or another suitable provider).
  10. Check the information on auction websites to help potential buyers and sellers.
  11. Take the time to read the information about ways to reduce the risk on the auction site and the terms and conditions of contracts entered into by bidders and sellers.

The frequency of purchase was also higher for categories like apparels & accessories (34%), beauty & personal care (33%) products in comparison to electronics (28%).

By looking at the trends in 2012, we expect 2013 to be a strong growth year for players who’re focussed on fast growing categories like apparels & accessories and niche product categories like baby products, home furnishings & health-nutrition. We expect the growth to come from outside of top 8 metros as was evident in our recently concluded “Great Online Shopping festival’ which saw over 51% of traffic from non-metros.”

Process to Debug a stored procedure using Visual Studio.net

Process to Debug a stored procedure


1. Open the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 IDE. 

2. Select Server Explorer option from the View Menu as follows: 

 

3. From the Data Connections node, right click and select, 'Add connection'. Fill in the details to connect to the intended SQL Server and the database using the login who has a fixed server role, SysAdmin. Click on Test connection. Once the connection succeeds, the overall screen should look like the following. 

 

4. Expand the data connection just added, and navigate to the Stored Procedures node. 

5. Expand the Stored Procedures node and select the intended SP to be debugged. 

6. Right click and select open to view the source code of the selected stored procedure. 

7. Place a break point on the intended line of code where debugging needs to be started its usually the way .NET Developers perform. 

8. After performing the above steps the screen shot should look like the following. 

9. After performing the above steps the screen shot should like the following: 

 

10. Right click on the stored procedure from the 'Server Explorer' and select 'Step-Into Stored Procedure' as shown below. 

 

11. This action brings up the following screen shot. 

 

12. Enter the needful values and click Ok. The next shot will be the following. 

 

13. From here on, its usual .NET debugging stuff. Use Step-Into and Step-Over and Step-out from the shortcuts menu or pressing F11,F10, Shift+F11 

Wasn't that very simple. It made the life of DB developers much more comfortable. Had it not been available with SQL Server 2005 and VS 2005 IDE it would have been a nightmare to debug stored procedures remotely/locally. 

Happy Development and concentrated debugging.

renaming any column in SQL Server


I often get request from blog reader for T-SQL script to rename database table column name or rename table itself.
The script for renaming any column :
sp_RENAME 'TableName.[OldColumnName]' '[NewColumnName]''COLUMN'
The script for renaming any object (table, sp etc) :
sp_RENAME '[OldTableName]' '[NewTableName]'
This article demonstrates two examples of renaming database object.
  1. Renaming database table column to new name.
  1. Renaming database table to new name.

In both the cases we will first see existing table. Rename the object. Test object again with new name.
1. Renaming database table column to new name.
Example uses AdventureWorks database. A small table with name “Table_First” is created. Table has two fields ID and Name.
Now, to change the Column Name from “Name” to “NameChange” we can use command:


USE AdventureWorks
GO
sp_RENAME 'Table_First.Name''NameChange' 'COLUMN'GO
Following Fig. show use of SP_RENAME Command
You can see the column name “Name” is now changed to “NameChange”.
USE AdventureWorks
GO
SELECT *FROM Table_First
GO
Following fig. verify that the column name has been changed.
2.Renaming database table to new name.
We can change the table name too with the same command.
sp_RENAME 'Table_First''Table_Last'GO
Following fig. Shows how we can change Table Name.
Now, the table name “Table_First” is renamed as “Table_Last”.
“Table_First” will no longer be available in database. We can verify this by running script:
USE AdventureWorks
GO
SELECT *FROM Table_First
GO
The Messages shows an error “Invalid object name ‘Table_First’.”
To check that the new renamed table exist in database run script:
USE AdventureWorks
GO
SELECT *FROM Table_Last
GO
