    DB2Script Class
    In This Topic
    Serves to execute series of SQL statements separated by special symbols.

    Public Class DB2Script 
       Inherits Devart.Common.DbScript
       Implements System.ComponentModel.IComponentSystem.IDisposable 
    Remarks

    Often it is necessary to execute several SQL statements one by one. It can be performed by using a lot of components such as DB2Command. Usually it isn't a good solution. With only one DB2Script component you can execute several SQL statements as one. This sequence of statements is named script. To separate individual statements use semicolon (;) symbol.

    When DB2Script encounters a BEGIN keyword in the script, it looks for a slash symbol "/" in the first position of some consecutive line. Everything between the BEGIN and the slash is considered single block. Usually the slash is placed after the line containing END keyword. You do not have to place slash after nested BEGIN...END block.

    Example
    This sample demonstrates how to execute script and retrieve information about execution flow using Progress and Error events.

      "INSERT INTO DEPT VALUES (10,'ACCOUNTING','NEW YORK');"+
      "INSERT INTO DEPT VALUES (20,'RESEARCH','DALLAS');"+
      "INSERT INTO DEPT VALUES (30,'SALES','CHICAGO');"+
      "INSERT INTO DEPT VALUES (40,'OPERATIONS','BOSTON');"+
      "SELECT * FROM DEPT";
          DB2Connection db2Conn = new DB2Connection(
              "user id=db2admin;server=db2;database=SAMPLE;");
          DB2Script db2Script = new DB2Script(script,db2Conn);
          db2Script.Progress += new Devart.Common.ScriptProgressEventHandler(OnProgress);
          db2Script.Error += new Devart.Common.ScriptErrorEventHandler(OnError);
          db2Conn.Open();
          db2Script.Execute();
          db2Conn.Close();
        }

    {
      Console.WriteLine(e.Text);
      Console.WriteLine("  Successfully executed.");
    }

    {
      e.Ignore = true;
      Console.WriteLine(e.Text);
      Console.WriteLine("  Failed.");
