Sometimes applications need to remove data without actually losing it. Soft delete keeps rows in the database while making them invisible to normal application access. This is especially valuable when exposing a database to an AI agent through an MCP server like SQL MCP Server, where safety and reversibility matter. Learn about SQL MCP Server Filtering on an IsDeleted column in every query is fragile. One missed filter exposes your data. Row-Level Security enforces visibility rules inside the database so application code cannot bypass them. Let's take a look. Working demo: https://gist.github.com What We Are Building A Todos table where soft delete is enforced at the database layer. Step 1: Create the User & Login This example uses a SQL login for simplicity. In Azure SQL, you would typically use a managed identity. The pattern is the same. CREATE LOGIN TodoDbUser WITH PASSWORD = 'Long@12345'; GO CREATE USER TodoDbUser FOR LOGIN TodoDbUser; GO Step 2: C...

Last time, we saw how to prevent the user from changing the widths of ListView columns , but the technique required version 6 of the common controls. What if you're stuck in the dark ages and have to use version 5? You can deny the ability to change the width of a header item by listening for HDN_ ITEM­CHANGING and returning 1 to deny the change if there is a change to the width. case WM_NOTIFY: { auto hdr = (NMHDR*)lParam; if (hdr->code == HDN_ITEMCHANGING) { auto header = (NMHEADER*)lParam; if (header->pitem->mask & HDI_WIDTH) { return 1; } } } return 0; The above code assumes that it is running in a window procedure. If it's running in a dialog procedure, then you need to set the dialog message result. case WM_NOTIFY: { auto hdr = (NMHDR*)lParam; if (hdr->code == HDN_ITEMCHANGING) { auto header = (NMHEADER*)lParam; if (heade...

Introduction Building and operating edge applications is a team sport, especially when you're working with Azure IoT Operations (AIO), custom Rust services, and a mix of cloud and on-prem environments. Over the past year, our team set out to create a minimal GitOps workflow that's simple enough for small pilots, but robust enough to scale to production. This post shares our approach, the architectural decisions behind it, and practical templates you can use today. All pipeline YAMLs and scripts are available in our public repo . Why Minimal GitOps? Edge solutions are complex by nature: multiple services, hardware dependencies, and frequent updates. In Kubernetes-based environments—especially those running on industrial edge devices with limited connectivity and resource constraints—you can’t afford fragile or ad-hoc deployments. It’s not uncommon for a cluster on a plant floor to lose WAN connectivity for hours or even days, or for devices to operate with tight CPU and memor...

Strengthen Identity Security and Eliminate Account Keys Identity is becoming the new security perimeter. As organizations modernize their cloud applications, long‑lived secrets and shared keys introduce unnecessary risk. Azure Cosmos DB now fully supports Microsoft Entra ID for both control plane and data plane access, giving customers a secure, passwordless, least‑privilege alternative to legacy key‑based authentication. This blog walks through why customers are moving to Entra ID, what changes when you disable local authentication, and how to configure modern RBAC for Cosmos DB. Why Move to Microsoft Entra ID? Organizations are accelerating their shift toward identity‑driven security to address: Key leakage and secret sprawl across distributed applications Zero Trust mandates requiring continuous verification and least‑privilege access Compliance obligations (SOC 2, ISO, FedRAMP) that discourage unmanaged secrets Operational challenges tracking who has access and why Microsoft...
