Optimize SQL queries using subqueries for lookups in Azure SQL Databases

Tuesday, April 27, 2021 11:00 PM Toni Pohl
I like to work with Azure SQL Databases and use data from the cloud without any administrative effort. When working with apps, App Insights helps to detect anomalies, and to analyze bottle necks. Although SQL Azure can scale very well, we discovered performance issues in some legacy apps. Read here how we solved that by optimizing TSQL data queries.

Azure Logic Apps Toolbox 7-Resolve issues with the SharePoint Connector

Thursday, March 11, 2021 10:45 PM Toni Pohl
Using SharePoint Online (SPO) and Azure Logic Apps helps to automate processes. For a project, we have created some workflows with Azure Logic Apps that monitor changes to an SPO list or document library for approvals and other document workflows. We have found that the SPO connector does not always send all data in a reproducible manner: sometimes some fields were sent and sometimes not. We struggled with this behavior and found an unexpected workaround.

Use multiple Node.js versions on your computer (and develop a SPFx webpart)

Saturday, January 23, 2021 9:00 PM Toni Pohl
As developer, it often makes sense to have multiple versions of a framework installed on a single computer. For example, when developing SPFx applications with Node,js v10.x and developing web applications using Angular and Node.js v14.x you need both versions. Thankfully, with Node Version Manager, we can.

Azure Logic Apps Toolbox 5-Custom JSON payloads

Thursday, January 14, 2021 8:51 PM Christoph Wilfing
Did you ever have the problem of pushing different JSON payloads to a logic app and hitting errors due to JSON schema mismatches? The usual HTTP Request forces you to define the JSON Schema at the beginning. For every tiny difference in the later used properties you need to create your own Logic App even if the process is the same. I will show you an example of a single Logic App deciding at runtime which JSON schema to use for decoding the post body payload. Stay tuned!
