Devart.Common Namespace / SqlStatement Class / Execute Method
Example

Execute Method (SqlStatement)
Executes the statement and returns result set.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Function Execute() As IDataReader
 

Return Value

Result set returned by the statement execution.
Remarks
This method is an alternative to Execute and ExecuteNext methods. It allows you to execute statements individually in any order. Note that Execute of SqlStatement does not generate Error or Progress event.
Example
This sample shows how to retrieve collection of statements that make up the script and execute them one by one.
string script =
  "DROP TABLE DEPT;"+
  "CREATE TABLE DEPT ("+
  "  DEPTNO INT PRIMARY KEY,"+
  "  DNAME VARCHAR(14),"+
  "  LOC VARCHAR(13)"+
  ")WITH OIDS;"+
  "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";
PgSqlConnection pgConn = new PgSqlConnection(
    "host=server;database=test;user id=postgres;");
PgSqlScript pgScript = new PgSqlScript(script,pgConn);
SqlStatementCollection pgColl = pgScript.Statements;
IDataReader pgReader;
pgConn.Open();
foreach (SqlStatement pgStatement in pgColl)
{
  Console.WriteLine(pgStatement.Text);
  try
  {
    pgReader = pgStatement.Execute();
    Console.WriteLine("  Records affected " + pgReader.RecordsAffected); 
    while (pgReader.Read()) 
    { 
      Console.WriteLine(pgReader.GetString(0)); 
    } 
    pgReader.Close(); 
    Console.WriteLine();
  }
  catch
  {
    Console.WriteLine("  Failed");
  }
}
pgConn.Close();

Dim pgScript As PgSqlScript = New PgSqlScript(script, pgConn)
Dim pgColl As SqlStatementCollection = pgScript.Statements
Dim pgReader As IDataReader
