Prise en charge de la diffusion en continu pour SqlClient

La prise en charge du streaming entre SQL Server et une application (nouveau dans .NET Framework 4.5) prend en charge les données non structurées sur le serveur (documents, images et fichiers multimédias). Une base de données SQL Server peut stocker des objets BLOB, mais la récupération de BLOB peut utiliser beaucoup de mémoire.

La prise en charge de la diffusion en continu de SQL Serveur simplifie l’écriture d’applications qui diffusent les données, sans devoir entièrement charger les données dans la mémoire, ce qui réduit le nombre d’exceptions de dépassement de capacité de mémoire.

La prise en charge de la diffusion en continu facilite la montée en charge des applications intermédiaires, surtout dans les scénarios où les objets métiers se connectent à SQL Azure afin d'envoyer, de récupérer et manipuler des BLOB.

Avertissement

Les appels asynchrones ne sont pas pris en charge si une application utilise également le mot clé de chaîne de connexion Context Connection.

Les membres ajoutés pour la prise en charge de la diffusion en continu sont utilisés pour récupérer des données de requêtes et passer des paramètres aux requêtes et aux procédures stockées. La fonctionnalité de diffusion en continu résout les scénarios OLTP et de migration des données de base et s’applique aux environnements de migration de données locaux et hors site.

Prise en charge du streaming depuis SQL Server

La prise en charge de la diffusion en continu de SQL Server introduit une nouvelle fonctionnalité dans les classes DbDataReader et SqlDataReader pour obtenir les objets Stream, XmlReader et TextReader et réagir à ces derniers. Ces classes sont utilisées pour récupérer les données des requêtes. Par conséquent, la prise en charge de la diffusion en continu de SQL Server répond aux scénarios OLTP et s’applique aux environnements sur site et hors site.

Les membres suivants ont été ajoutés à SqlDataReader pour activer la prise en charge de la diffusion en continu de SQL Server :

  1. IsDBNullAsync

  2. SqlDataReader.GetFieldValue

  3. GetFieldValueAsync

  4. GetStream

  5. GetTextReader

  6. GetXmlReader

Les membres suivants ont été ajoutés à DbDataReader pour activer la prise en charge de la diffusion en continu de SQL Server :

  1. GetFieldValue

  2. GetStream

  3. GetTextReader

Prise en charge du streaming vers SQL Server

La prise en charge du streaming vers SQL Server introduit une nouvelle fonctionnalité dans la classe SqlParameter pour qu’elle puisse accepter et réagir à des objets XmlReader, Stream et TextReader. SqlParameter est utilisé pour passer des paramètres aux requêtes et aux procédures stockées.

Supprimer un objet SqlCommand ou appeler Cancel doit annuler toute opération en continu. Si une application envoie CancellationToken, l'annulation n'est pas garantie.

Les types suivants SqlDbType acceptent un Value de Stream :

  • Binaire

  • VarBinary

Les types suivants SqlDbType acceptent un Value de TextReader :

  • Char

  • NChar

  • NVarChar

  • Xml

Le type XMLSqlDbType accepte une Value de XmlReader.

SqlValue accepte des valeurs de type XmlReader, TextReader et Stream.

XmlReader, TextReader, et l'objet Stream seront envoyés jusqu'à la valeur définie par Size.

Exemple -- Streaming depuis SQL Server

Utilisez la commande Transact-SQL suivante pour créer l’exemple de base de données :

CREATE DATABASE [Demo]
GO
USE [Demo]
GO
CREATE TABLE [Streams] (
[id] INT PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY(1, 1),
[textdata] NVARCHAR(MAX),
[bindata] VARBINARY(MAX),
[xmldata] XML)
GO
INSERT INTO [Streams] (textdata, bindata, xmldata) VALUES (N'This is a test', 0x48656C6C6F, N'<test>value</test>')
INSERT INTO [Streams] (textdata, bindata, xmldata) VALUES (N'Hello, World!', 0x54657374696E67, N'<test>value2</test>')
INSERT INTO [Streams] (textdata, bindata, xmldata) VALUES (N'Another row', 0x666F6F626172, N'<fff>bbb</fff><fff>bbc</fff>')
GO

L'exemple montre comment effectuer les actions suivantes :

  • Éviter de bloquer un thread d'interface utilisateur en fournissant une façon asynchrone de récupérer des fichiers volumineux.

  • Transférer un grand fichier texte depuis SQL Server dans .NET Framework 4.5.

  • Transférer un grand fichier XML depuis SQL Server dans .NET Framework 4.5.

  • Récupérez les données de SQL Server.

  • Transférer des fichiers volumineux (objets BLOB) d’une base de données SQL Server à une autre sans insuffisance de mémoire.

Exemple -- Streaming d’une instance SQL Server vers une autre instance SQL Server

Cet exemple montre comment diffuser en continu un objet BLOB d’un SQL Server à un autre, avec la prise en charge de l’annulation.
