For our project we have a table where we get all football results for one match day. Depending on their SQL database value, an input gets shown where the user can add the match results. When we hit the 'save' button, the insert into the database gets triggered. For some reason, from time to time not all lines get added to the database.

[HttpPost("UpdateMatchDayScore")]
public async void UpdateMatchDayScore([FromBody]UpdateMatchDayScoreViewModel model)

 var matchDayId = model[0].matchDayId;
 var poolId = model[0].poolId;
 RankingSearch rankingSearch = await _rankingService.CreateNewRanking(matchDayId, poolId);
 foreach (var t in model)
 
 _matchDayService.UpdateMatchDayScore(rankingSearch.RankingId,t.poolId, t.homeTeamId, t.awayTeamId, Int32.Parse(t.scoreHome),Int32.Parse(t.scoreAway), t.matchDayId);
 
 _calculateRanking.CalculatePosition(rankingSearch.RankingId);

This is our viewmodel:

public class UpdateMatchDayScoreViewModel

 public int poolId get; set; 
 public int homeTeamId get; set; 
 public int awayTeamId get; set; 
 public string scoreHome get; set; 
 public string scoreAway get; set; 
 public int matchDayId get; set; 

This is our matchday repository:

public async void UpdateMatchDayScore(int poolId, int homeTeamId, int awayTeamId,
int scoreHome, int scoreAway,
int matchDayId)

 using (var conn = _connector.OpenConnection())
 
 await conn.QueryAsync<MatchDay>(StoredProcs.UpdateMatchScore,
 new
 
 pouleId = poolId,
 awayTeamId = awayTeamId,
 homeTeamId= homeTeamId,
 scoreAway = scoreAway,
 scoreHome = scoreHome,
 matchDayId = matchDayId
 , CommandType.StoredProcedure);
 

This is our matchday service:

public void UpdateMatchDayScore(int rankingId, int poolId, int homeTeamId, int awayTeamId, int scoreHome, int scoreAway, int matchDayId)

 _calculateRanking.CalculateRankings(rankingId, matchDayId, awayTeamId, homeTeamId, scoreHome, scoreAway);
 _matchDayRepository.UpdateMatchDayScore(poolId, homeTeamId, awayTeamId, scoreHome, scoreAway,
 matchDayId);

Sample model:

 
 pouleId = 46273,
 awayTeamId = 400069,
 homeTeamId= 400002,
 scoreAway = 2,
 scoreHome = 4,
 matchDayId = 12

We did some math and in total for one matchday(which contains 8 games) opens 41 connections. We think we might be doing to much at once? Could anyone help us out?

This does not look like an issue with the number of connection, rather it’s the way you are calling your methods.

Your code is mix of Async and Sync methods. On top of it, the Async methods are not invoked properly using “await” at all the places. And this is an open invitation to trouble.

Go through this post to understand the issues you may face when you do that.

Note: This post talks about dead-lock but it is applicable in your case as well.

I am assuming that the foreach loop is missing updating some of the records due to not receiving correct Task status in some of the cases.

I would suggest that if you are new to async-await domain, try your code with only sync methods first and then try to apply the async feature.

If some of the methods are async-only, you can add .Wait() method at the end for your code to wait for the Task to get completed before moving to next statement of execution.

Hope this helps!
