Zip facility (Zip compression) with .NET Framework

This is very simple to create a zip file and extract this through .net framework,Many developers where using third party components like DotnetZip



Zip is one of the most accepted archive file formats. Zip format is supported in almost all operating systems with some built-in name.

• In Windows operating system it’s implemented by the name “Compressed folders”.
• In MAC OS it’s implemented by the name “Archive utility”.

Now in .NET we did not have built-in support for implementing Zip compression. Many developers where using third party components like “DotnetZip”. In .NET 4.5, the Zip feature is baked in the framework itself, inside the namespace System.IO.Compression.
The first step is you need to reference two namespaces:

• System.IO.Compression.FileSystem
• System.IO.Compression

If you want to Zip files from a folder you can use the CreateFromDirectory function as shown below.

ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory(@"D:\data",@"D:\data.zip");

If you wish to unzip, you can use the ExtractToDirectory function as shown in the below code.

ZipFile.ExtractToDirectory(@"D:\data.zip", @"D:\data\unzip");

How to insert large string or xml file in the oracle database Clob field.

How to insert large string or xml file in the oracle database Clob field.

 

Solution:-

We can declare some variable and divide the large string into this.

Further while inserting the string or large file we can concentinate those variables and insert/update into database.

Sample code is

Declare

  str1 varchar2(4000);

  str2 varchar2(4000);

  str3 varchar2(4000);

  str4 varchar2(4000);

begin                                                                    

  str1 := 'Test data';                                                                                                             

  str2 := 'Test data';

  str3 := ' Test date';

  str4 := ' Test data';   

 

update TableName set coloumName = to_clob(str1) || to_clob(str2) || to_clob(str3) || to_clob(str4)

commit;
