Execute Method (SqlStatement)

In This Topic

Executes the statement and returns result set.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Function Execute() As IDataReader

public IDataReader Execute()

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.

csharp

string script =

  "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";
SqlConnection myConn = new SqlConnection(
    "User Id=sa;Server=localhost;Initial Catalog=Test;");
SqlScript myScript = new SqlScript(script,myConn);
SqlStatementCollection myColl = myScript.Statements;
IDataReader myReader;
myConn.Open();
foreach (SqlStatement myStatement in myColl)
{
  Console.WriteLine(myStatement.Text);
  try
  {
    myReader = myStatement.Execute();
    Console.WriteLine("  Records affected " + myReader.RecordsAffected); 
    while (myReader.Read()) 
    { 
      Console.WriteLine(myReader.GetString(0)); 
    } 
    myReader.Close(); 
    Console.WriteLine();
  }
  catch
  {
    Console.WriteLine("  Failed");
  }
}
myConn.Close();

Visual Basic

Dim script As String = _

    "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"
Dim myConn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection( _
    "User Id=sa;Server=localhost;Initial Catalog=Test;")
Dim myScript As SqlScript = New SqlScript(script, myConn)
Dim myColl As SqlStatementCollection = myScript.Statements
Dim myReader As IDataReader
myConn.Open()
For Each myStatement As SqlStatement In myColl
  Console.WriteLine(myStatement.Text)
  Try
    myReader = myStatement.Execute()
    Console.WriteLine("  Records affected " & myReader.RecordsAffected)
    While myReader.Read()
      Console.WriteLine(myReader.GetString(0))
    End While
    myReader.Close()
    Console.WriteLine()
  Catch ex As Exception
    Console.WriteLine("  Failed")
  End Try
Next myStatement
myConn.Close()
