Docker – Web API and Sql Server

By | 30/06/2020

In this post, we will see how to connect a Docker Web API Solution with a SQL Server Database on premises and on Cloud.


DB ON PREMISES


From our system, we open SSMS, we create a DB called TestDocker1 and then we run some sql scripts, in order to create a table called TabUser and insert some data:

USE [TestDocker1]
GO

SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TabUser](
	[Id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
	[UserName] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,
	[Password] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,
	[DateCreation] [datetime] NOT NULL,
 CONSTRAINT [PK_User] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED 
(
	[Id] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, OPTIMIZE_FOR_SEQUENTIAL_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
SET IDENTITY_INSERT [dbo].[TabUser] ON 
GO
INSERT [dbo].[TabUser] ([Id], [UserName], [Password], [DateCreation]) VALUES (1, N'Username10', N'Password10', CAST(N'2020-04-15T23:25:39.873' AS DateTime))
GO
INSERT [dbo].[TabUser] ([Id], [UserName], [Password], [DateCreation]) VALUES (2, N'Username11', N'Password11', CAST(N'2020-04-14T23:26:32.013' AS DateTime))
GO
INSERT [dbo].[TabUser] ([Id], [UserName], [Password], [DateCreation]) VALUES (3, N'Username12', N'Password12', CAST(N'2020-04-13T23:30:16.103' AS DateTime))
GO
INSERT [dbo].[TabUser] ([Id], [UserName], [Password], [DateCreation]) VALUES (4, N'Username13', N'Password13', CAST(N'2020-04-13T23:30:16.107' AS DateTime))
GO
INSERT [dbo].[TabUser] ([Id], [UserName], [Password], [DateCreation]) VALUES (5, N'Username14', N'Password14', CAST(N'2020-04-12T23:30:16.107' AS DateTime))
GO
INSERT [dbo].[TabUser] ([Id], [UserName], [Password], [DateCreation]) VALUES (6, N'Username15', N'Password15', CAST(N'2020-04-13T23:30:16.107' AS DateTime))
GO
INSERT [dbo].[TabUser] ([Id], [UserName], [Password], [DateCreation]) VALUES (7, N'Username16', N'Password16', CAST(N'2020-04-10T23:30:16.107' AS DateTime))
GO
INSERT [dbo].[TabUser] ([Id], [UserName], [Password], [DateCreation]) VALUES (8, N'Username17', N'Password17', CAST(N'2020-04-07T23:30:16.107' AS DateTime))
GO
INSERT [dbo].[TabUser] ([Id], [UserName], [Password], [DateCreation]) VALUES (9, N'Username18', N'Password18', CAST(N'2020-03-25T23:30:16.110' AS DateTime))
GO
SET IDENTITY_INSERT [dbo].[TabUser] OFF
GO



Now, we open Visual Studio 2019, we create a Web API project called WebAPIDocker (we remember to check the Docker option) and then we install, in the Package Manager Console, these two libraries: Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer and Automapper.

Then, we will add all components, in order to create a complete Web API service to manage the table TabUser:

[TABUSER.CS]

using System;

    public class TabUser
    {

        public string Password { get; set; }
        public DateTime DateCreation { get; set; }
    }
}

Now, if we run the application, this will be the result:




DB IN CLOUD


First of all, we add the connection string for the Azure SQL SERVER created in the post (for this post, I have updated the data) Azure – How to create an Azure SQL Database:

                endpoints.MapControllers();
            });
        }
    }
}
