    UniCommand Class
    In This Topic
    Represents a SQL statement or stored procedure to execute against a database.
    Syntax
    Remarks
    The UniCommand class provides the following methods for executing commands against the a database:
    Item Description
    ExecuteReader Executes commands that return rows.
    ExecuteNonQuery Executes SQL commands such as INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE or PL/SQL block.
    ExecuteScalar Retrieves a single value (for example, an aggregate value) from a database.

    If execution of the command results in a fatal UniException, the UniConnection may close. However, the user can reopen the connection and continue.

    Example
    The following example uses the ExecuteReader method of UniCommand, along with UniDataReader and UniConnection, to select rows from a table.
    public void ReadMyData(string myConnString)
    {
      string mySelectQuery = "SELECT * FROM Test.Dept";
      UniConnection myConnection = new UniConnection(myConnString);
      UniCommand myCommand = new UniCommand(mySelectQuery,myConnection);
      myConnection.Open();
      UniDataReader myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader();
      try
      {
        while (myReader.Read())
        {
          Console.WriteLine(myReader.GetInt32(0) + ", " + myReader.GetString(1));
        }
      }
      finally
      {
      // always call Close when done reading.
      myReader.Close();
      // always call Close when done reading.
      myConnection.Close();
      }
    }
    Public Sub ReadMyData(myConnString As String)
      Dim mySelectQuery As String = "SELECT * FROM Test.Dept"
      Dim myConnection As New UniConnection(myConnString)
      Dim myCommand As New UniCommand(mySelectQuery, myConnection)
      myConnection.Open()
      Dim myReader As UniDataReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader()
      Try
        While myReader.Read()
          Console.WriteLine(myReader.GetInt32(0).ToString() + ", " _
            + myReader.GetString(1))
        End While
      Finally
          ' always call Close when done reading.
          myReader.Close()
          ' always call Close when done with connection.
          myConnection.Close()
      End Try
    End Sub
