As you know ASP.NET Core Identity (table structure) is different from what we had earlier in ASP.NET Identity. Actually the identity system which we have today with .NET Core is very mature and continuously evolved be it ASP.NET Membership, ASP.NET Identity 1, ASP.NET Identity 2 and now ASP.NET Core Identity. Recently I had to migrate few application to ASP.NET Core and similar its identity database. Because the table schema is changed, i had to re-think and create migration script which I would like to share with you today. It is very simple and easy, just three step and I had everything ready: STEP 1 : Change name of existing tables STEP 2 : Create ASP.NET Core Identity tables STEP 3 : Migrate data from old tables (ASP.NET Identity) to new tables (ASP.NET Core Identity) Script:  https://gist.github.com/itorian/c699e8534b392a6c726ec66c48100072 You should also watch my video, where I demoed migration.

Right click on table and select "Edit Top 200 Rows" Press "Ctrl + 3" on rows in edit mode window Now you can see the query which returned 200 rows allowing you to edit On this query window, right click to execute the query on window itself And voila, you have records based on your query to edit those on window :) Hope this helps.

A session is defined as the period of time that a unique user interacts with a Web application. Active Server Pages (ASP) developers who wish to retain data for unique user sessions can use an intrinsic feature known as session state.

Creating abstract datatype CREATE TYPE STUDENT_NAME_TY AS OBJECT (FIRST_NAME VARCHAR2(15), LAST_NAME VARCHAR2(15)); In above example AS OBJECT identify STUDENT_NAME_TY as an object implementation.  Using abstract datatype in table CREATE TABLE STUDENT (STUDENT_ID NUMBER(4) PRIMARY KEY, NAME STUDENT_NAME_TY); Viewing details of table DESC STUDENT; or we can use the following SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE FROM USER_TAB_COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME='STUDENT'; or we can use the following SELECT ATTR_NAME, LENGTH, ATTR_TYPE_NAME FROM USER_TYPE_ATTRS WHERE TYPE_NAME='STUDENT_NAME_TY'; Inserting data in table INSERT INTO STUDENT VALUES...
