CommandText Property (SQLiteCommand)

In This Topic

Gets or sets the SQL statement to execute against SQLite.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overrides Property CommandText As String

public override string CommandText {get; set;}

Property Value

The SQL statement to execute. The default value is an empty string ("").

Remarks

Sense of CommandText property depends on value of CommandType property.

When CommandType value is System.Data.CommandType.Text, property CommandText should contain text of a query that must be run on the server. It also may contain several SQL statements, separated with the semicolon. You may use parameters in all the statements. If there are several statements, returning data, use SQLiteDataReader.NextResult to get all reader results.

When the value is set to System.Data.CommandType.TableDirect, CommandText must be name of a table you want to get all data from. All rows and columns are retrieved.

Example

The following example creates a SQLiteCommand and sets some of its properties.

csharp

public void CreateCommand()
{
  SQLiteCommand sqCommand = new SQLiteCommand();
  sqCommand.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM Dept ORDER BY DeptNo";
}

Visual Basic

Public Sub CreateCommand()
  Dim sqCommand As New SQLiteCommand()
  sqCommand.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM Dept ORDER BY DeptNo"
End Sub
