IDbCommand..::.ExecuteNonQuery()()()

Remarks

You can use ExecuteNonQuery to perform any type of database operation, however any resultsets returned will not be available. Any output parameters used in calling a stored procedure will be populated with data and can be retrieved after execution is complete. For UPDATE, INSERT, and DELETE statements, the return value is the number of rows affected by the command. For all other types of statements, the return value is -1.

Examples

The following example creates a MySqlCommand and then executes it using ExecuteNonQuery. The example is passed a string that is a SQL statement (such as UPDATE, INSERT, or DELETE) and a string to use to connect to the data source.

CopyVB.NET

Public Sub CreateMySqlCommand(myExecuteQuery As String, myConnection As MySqlConnection)
Dim myCommand As New MySqlCommand(myExecuteQuery, myConnection)
myCommand.Connection.Open()
myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
myConnection.Close()
End Sub

CopyC#

public void CreateMySqlCommand(string myExecuteQuery, MySqlConnection myConnection)
{
MySqlCommand myCommand = new MySqlCommand(myExecuteQuery, myConnection);
myCommand.Connection.Open();
myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
myConnection.Close();
}
