Using the Uniform Interface Exposed By Data Services

DB Blogs
DB Blogs

In some of our past posts, we've discussed one of the benefits of data services is that the interface to such a service is uniform.  This means that how you interact with each service (issue a query, insert a new entity, etc) is the same across all services regardless of the schema being exposed.  This uniform interface leads to one of th...

Merge vs. Replace Semantics for Update Operations

DB Blogs
DB Blogs

So far Astoria has used “merge” semantics for update. That is, an “update” operation (an HTTP PUT request) replaces the values of the properties for the target entity that are specified in the input payload; this applies both to properties and links. If a property or link is not present in a PUT operation, it means “leave it with its current value”...

Optimistic Concurrency & Data Services

DB Blogs
DB Blogs

Different applications have different requirements around consistency and how concurrent modifications are handled. I’ll oversimplify and put all these applications in two buckets: either you care about controlling concurrent changes or you don’t. If you’re creating a REST interface to your data and don’t care about concurrency (e.g. no deep consis...
