Remarks

The ExactTargetCommand class provides the following methods for executing commands against Salesforce Marketing Cloud:

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 ExactTargetException, the ExactTargetConnection may close. However, the user can reopen the connection and continue.

Example

The following example uses the ExecuteReader method of ExactTargetCommand, along with ExactTargetDataReader and ExactTargetConnection, to select rows from a table.

csharp

public void ReadMyData(string myConnString)
{
  string mySelectQuery = "SELECT ID, Name FROM Email";
  ExactTargetConnection exactTargetConnection = new ExactTargetConnection(myConnString);
  ExactTargetCommand exactTargetCommand = new ExactTargetCommand(mySelectQuery,exactTargetConnection);
  exactTargetConnection.Open();
  ExactTargetDataReader exactTargetReader = exactTargetCommand.ExecuteReader();
  try
  {
    while (exactTargetReader.Read())
    {
      Console.WriteLine(exactTargetReader.GetInt32(0).ToString() + ", " + exactTargetReader.GetString(1));
    }
  }
  finally
  {
  // always call Close when done reading.
  exactTargetReader.Close();
  // always call Close when done reading.
  exactTargetConnection.Close();
  }
}

Visual Basic

Public Sub ReadMyData(myConnString As String)
  Dim mySelectQuery As String = "SELECT ID, Name FROM Email"
  Dim exactTargetConnection As New ExactTargetConnection(myConnString)
  Dim exactTargetCommand As New ExactTargetCommand(mySelectQuery, exactTargetConnection)
  exactTargetConnection.Open()
  Dim exactTargetReader As ExactTargetDataReader = exactTargetCommand.ExecuteReader()
  Try
    While exactTargetReader.Read()
      Console.WriteLine(exactTargetReader.GetInt32(0).ToString() + ", " _
        + exactTargetReader.GetString(1))
    End While
  Finally
      ' always call Close when done reading.
      exactTargetReader.Close()
      ' always call Close when done with connection.
      exactTargetConnection.Close()
  End Try
End Sub
