MySqlScript Class
Serves to execute series of SQL statements separated by special symbols.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Class MySqlScript 
   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 MySqlCommand. Usually it isn't a good solution. With only one MySqlScript component you can execute several SQL statements as one. This sequence of statements is named script. To separate individual statements use semicolon (;) symbol.

When MySqlScript 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.
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string script =
  "DROP TABLE IF EXISTS DEPT;"+
  "CREATE TABLE DEPT ("+
  "  DEPTNO INT PRIMARY KEY,"+
  "  DNAME VARCHAR(14),"+
  "  LOC VARCHAR(13)"+
  ") TYPE = InnoDB;"+
  "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";
      MySqlConnection myConn = new MySqlConnection(
          "User Id=root;Host=localhost;Database=Test;");
      MySqlScript myScript = new MySqlScript(script,myConn);
      myScript.Progress += new Devart.Common.ScriptProgressEventHandler(OnProgress);
      myScript.Error += new Devart.Common.ScriptErrorEventHandler(OnError);
      myConn.Open();
      myScript.Execute();
      myConn.Close();
    }

static void OnProgress(object sender, Devart.Common.ScriptProgressEventArgs e)
{
  Console.WriteLine(e.Text);
  Console.WriteLine("  Successfully executed.");
}

static void OnError(object sender, Devart.Common.ScriptErrorEventArgs e)
{
  e.Ignore = true;
  Console.WriteLine(e.Text);
  Console.WriteLine("  Failed.");
}
