Don't feel bad. I just did the EXACT SAME THING!!! I only found your website because I was trying to figure out what the difference between the two methods was. :-)

If I would have the sourcecode of your code then I probably would have used that as a base for this implementation :)

This is a fine piece of work!

I invented the same thing when we where working at BuZa together. I even blogged about it at the corporate blog (http://blogs.infosupport.com/guidol/archive/2005/05/23/338.aspx)

Thank you so much! This saved me a MAJOR headache here at work.

re: Don't use viewstate compression! Use http compression instead!

Ramon Smits — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 23:50:28 GMT

I did not know that the browser does not compress its POST data when the previous GET/POST returned compressed. So thanks for that comment!

But when you have a viewstate of 60k+ then you have a design issue. I really don't see why you would ping/pong that much data on a round-trip. This will result in a double compress. First the viewstate and then http compression for the html.

Hello,

well, http compression works only from the server to the client, but when the client does a postback, the viewstate is sent to the server uncompressed! This is why compressing (and uncompressing) the viewstate is useful... you know, most of the adsl connectivity has a very low upload bandwidth, so it is hard to send 60k of viewstate for each postback... :S

cu!

re: Why read uncommitted data?

Ramon Smits — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 02:02:34 GMT

@Erwyn: You are correct but I should have noted that this is not the case if the where clause is generated with time information that is committed.

If you don't have this type of (meta) data then dirty reads are possible. This is acceptable in most reporting scenarios that access data that gets not altered after insert.

re: Why read uncommitted data?

Erwyn van der Meer — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 01:46:05 GMT

I agree with your point.

However, you write "You know in advance that you will never read dirty data because you only do inserts.". That is not true. If the insert is done from a transaction that is rolled back, the insert is reversed and you might have read dirty (uncommitted) data while the transaction was in progress.

If you accept that this might happen, then there is no problem and reading uncommitted data indeed circumvents locking problems.

Why read uncommitted data?
