Remarks

Sense of CommandText property depends on value of CommandType property.

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 ZohoBooksDataReader.NextResult to get all reader results.

When the value is System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure, property CommandText must be a name of a procedure to execute.

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.
