What is Swagger UI Documents 

Swagger UI is essentially an interactive user manual and testing environment for an API.

Term

Simple Explanation

Swagger UI

A tool that automatically creates a webpage showing all the functions your application provides to other software systems.

API Documentation

A clear instruction manual for developers that explains how different parts of the system can communicate with each other.

Documents APIs

Shows what requests can be sent to the system, what information is needed, and what response will come back.

Tests APIs

Allows developers to click buttons and test system functions directly in the browser without writing extra code

  • Swagger UI → browser-based interface for exploring/testing an API
  • OpenAPI → specification describing the API
  • FastAPI → Python framework that automatically generates OpenAPI documentation and Swagger UI
  • requests → Python library for making API calls programmatically

Simple Real-World Analogy

Think of Swagger UI like:

  • a restaurant menu for your software system.

It shows:

  • what “services” are available,
  • what information you must provide,
  • and what result you will receive back.

For example, in a pharmaceutical system it could display:

  • “Get patient records”
  • “Add medication”
  • “Update test results”

Developers can test these features directly from the Swagger webpage instead of building a separate test program.

Delete vs Truncate in MySQL and MS SQL Server

-
Delete vs Truncate in MySQL and MS SQL Server DELETE DELETE is a DML command. The DELETE statement is executed using a row lock; each row in the table is locked for deletion. We can specify filters in where clause It deletes specified data if a "where" condition exists. Delete activates a trigger because the operations are logged individually. Slower than truncate because it keeps logs. Rollback is possible. TRUNCATE TRUNCATE is a DDL command. TRUNCATE TABLE always locks the table and page but not each row. Cannot use the WHERE condition. It removes all the data. TRUNCATE TABLE cannot activate a trigger because the operation does not log individual row deletions. Faster performance-wise, because it doesn't keep any logs. Rollback is possible. DELETE and TRUNCATE both can be rolled back when used with TRANSACTION (TRUNCATE can be rolled back in SQL Server, but not in MySQL ). if there is a PK with auto increment, truncate will reset the counter Learn SQL with us at PCWorks...
