Sync: Database Synchronization Library

The Sync library is a comprehensive suite of packages designed to simplify and streamline the process of data synchronization across multiple database platforms. It offers a range of tools, utilities, and interfaces to facilitate efficient and consistent data synchronization operations.

Understood! Here's a revised introduction without the Revision History:

Introduction

Welcome to the Sync Library documentation! This comprehensive guide offers insights into the functionalities and usage of the Sync Library, a collection of packages designed to streamline and simplify the process of data synchronization across diverse database systems.

Overview of the Sync Library

The Sync Library comprises three primary packages: Sync.Core, Sync.DB, and Sync.MSSQL, each serving distinct roles in enabling efficient data synchronization. Additionally, it anticipates future expansion with forthcoming packages, including Sync.MySQL and Sync.PostgreSQL, which are under development.

Package Descriptions

• Sync.Core: This package forms the core functionality of the Sync Library, providing a robust set of tools and utilities for data synchronization tasks. It aims to optimize synchronization processes for efficiency and speed.

• Sync.DB: As a foundational package, Sync.DB defines a set of interfaces and contracts to establish a consistent interaction layer across various database systems. It ensures a unified approach to database operations for seamless integration.

• Sync.MSSQL: This specialized package offers tailored functionalities specifically for Microsoft SQL Server databases. It includes tools for query generation, connection management, and error handling optimized for MSSQL environments.

• Future Packages: Sync.MySQL and Sync.PostgreSQL: These upcoming packages are dedicated to providing similar synchronization capabilities for MySQL and PostgreSQL databases, respectively. Although currently under development, they aim to align with the principles and features of the existing Sync Library packages.

Configuration and Setup

.NET Core Dependency Injection (DI)

To incorporate the synchronization functionalities provided by Sync.Core into your application, you can establish Dependency Injection (DI) within your project's Startup class.

1. Dependency Injection Setup:

   Open your Startup.cs file and configure the DI container to register the Synchronization and QueryGenerator services:

   services.AddScoped<QueryGenerator>();
   services.AddScoped<Synchronization>();
   

   Utilizing services.AddScoped registers these services, allowing them to be injected into your application components as needed.

2. Usage Example:

   After registering in the DI container, you can inject these services into your classes or controllers:

   using Sync.Core;
   
   private readonly Synchronization _sync;
   
   public YourServiceOrController(Synchronization sync)
   {
       _sync = sync;
   }
   
   

   Incorporating these services via DI enables seamless integration of Sync.Core's synchronization features within your application architecture.

Usage Guide

Basic Synchronization

To perform basic data synchronization using the Sync.Core package, follow these steps:

1. Instantiate Synchronization:

   using Sync.Core;
   
   // Instantiate the Synchronization class
   Synchronization _sync = new Synchronization(new QueryGenerator());
   

   or with DI

   using Sync.Core;
   
   private readonly Synchronization _sync;
   
   public YourServiceOrController(Synchronization sync)
   {
       _sync = sync;
   }
   
   

   This creates an instance of the Synchronization class with a QueryGenerator necessary for generating SQL queries.

2. Create Database Instances:

   using Sync.Core;
   
   // Instantiate source database connection
   IDatabase sourceDatabase = new Connection("(localdb)\\MSSQLLocalDB", "SourceChinook", true);
   
   // Instantiate destination database connection
   IDatabase destinationDatabase = new Connection("(localdb)\\MSSQLLocalDB", "DestinationChinook", true);
   

   Replace "(localdb)\\MSSQLLocalDB" with your specific server address, and "SourceChinook" and "DestinationChinook" with the names of your source and destination databases, respectively. The last parameter true indicates the usage of integrated security for authentication. Adjust the parameters based on your authentication requirements.

3. Entity Configuration Example (Album Entity):

   To configure entities like the Album entity, apply attributes from the Sync.DB.Attributes namespace to the entity class.

   using Sync.DB.Attributes;
   using Sync.DB.Extensions;
   using Sync.DB.Utils;
   using System.Data;
   
   [TableName("Album"), TableSchema("dbo")]
   public class Album : DataContractUtility<Album>
   {
       [KeyProperty(isPrimaryKey: true)]
       public int AlbumId { get; set; }
       public string Title { get; set; }
       public int ArtistId { get; set; }
   
       public Album(DataRow albumInfo)
       {
           // Initialization code for Album properties from DataRow
       }
   }
   

   • [TableName]: Specifies the name of the table corresponding to this entity in the database.
   • [TableSchema]: Specifies the schema of the table.
   • [KeyProperty]: Defines a property as the primary key for the entity.

4. Available Attributes for Configuration:

   • [TableName]: Specifies the name of the table.
   • [TableSchema]: Specifies the schema of the table.
   • [KeyProperty]: Defines a property as a key property.
   • [ExcludedProperty]: Excludes a property from specific operations.
   • [GenerateInsertWithID]: Determines whether the ID property should be included in the insert query generation.

5. Perform Synchronization for Specific Entity:

   // Example: Synchronize data for a specific entity
   var entityData = _sync.SyncData<YourEntity>(sourceDatabase, destinationDatabase);
   

   Replace <YourEntity> with the specific entity type you want to synchronize. sourceDatabase and destinationDatabase should be instances of the IDatabase interface representing your source and destination databases.

6. Access Synchronization Results:

   // Example: Access synchronization results for added, edited, and deleted records
   Console.WriteLine($"Added: {entityData.Added.Count} Edited: {entityData.Edited.Count} Deleted: {entityData.Deleted.Count}");
   Console.WriteLine($"Total Source Data: {entityData.SourceDataCount}");
   Console.WriteLine($"Total Destination Data: {entityData.DestinaionDataCount}");
   
   // Retrieve SQL query generated during synchronization
   var query = sync.GetSqlQueryForSyncData(entityData);
   Console.WriteLine(query);
   

   This snippet showcases how to access statistics related to added, edited, and deleted records, as well as the total counts of source and destination data. Additionally, it retrieves the SQL query generated during synchronization.

7. Repeat for Other Entities:

   Repeat the synchronization process (steps 3-4) for other entity types as needed by replacing <YourEntity> with the desired entity type.

8. Handle Errors:

   Ensure to handle any exceptions that might occur during the synchronization process using appropriate error handling mechanisms.
