Devart.Data.MySql Namespace / MySqlCommand Class
Members Example

MySqlCommand Class
Represents a SQL statement or stored procedure to execute against MySQL.
Syntax
Remarks
The MySqlCommand class provides the following methods for executing commands against the MySQL database:
Item Description
ExecuteReader Executes commands that return rows.
Devart.Common.DbCommandBase.ExecutePageReader Returns a specific subset of rows when paging through the results of a query.
ExecuteNonQuery Executes SQL commands such as INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE.
ExecuteScalar Retrieves a single value (for example, an aggregate value) from a data source.

If execution of the command results in a fatal MySqlException, the MySqlConnection may close. However, the user can reopen the connection and continue.

This class supports cross-form data binding with the InterForm Technology.

Example
The following example uses the ExecuteReader method of MySqlCommand, along with MySqlDataReader and MySqlConnection, to select rows from a table.
public void ReadMyData(string myConnString)
{
  string mySelectQuery = "SELECT DeptNo, DName FROM Test.Dept";
  MySqlConnection myConnection = new MySqlConnection(myConnString);
  MySqlCommand myCommand = new MySqlCommand(mySelectQuery,myConnection);
  myConnection.Open();
  MySqlDataReader myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader();
  try
  {
    while (myReader.Read())
    {
      Console.WriteLine(myReader.GetInt32(0).ToString() + ", " + myReader.GetString(1));
    }
  }
  finally
  {
  // always call Close when done reading.
  myReader.Close();
  // always call Close when done reading.
  myConnection.Close();
  }
}
Public Sub ReadMyData(myConnString As String)
  Dim mySelectQuery As String = "SELECT DeptNo, DName FROM Test.Dept"
  Dim myConnection As New MySqlConnection(myConnString)
  Dim myCommand As New MySqlCommand(mySelectQuery, myConnection)
  myConnection.Open()
  Dim myReader As MySqlDataReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader()
  Try
    While myReader.Read()
      Console.WriteLine(myReader.GetInt32(0).ToString() + ", " _
        + myReader.GetString(1))
    End While
  Finally
      ' always call Close when done reading.
      myReader.Close()
      ' always call Close when done with connection.
      myConnection.Close()
  End Try
End Sub
