� System.Data.SQLClient namespace

� used for SQL Server 7.0 and later

databases

� System.Data.OleDb namespace

� used for all other databases


� Components:

� Connection object

� Command object

� DataReader object

� DataAdapter object


Connection Connection Connection Connection ObjectObjectObjectObject

� creates the connection to the database

� connection classes:

� SqlConnection object

� OleDbConnection object

� Steps in connecting to a database:


� Steps in connecting to a database:

� Set the connection type

� Specify the data source

� Connect to the data source


SqlConnection SqlConnection SqlConnection SqlConnection ObjectObjectObjectObject

� has a property that contains all the information in establishing a connection

� ConnectionString property

� consists of name-value pairs

� Some common keywords used are:

Connection Timeout / Connect Timeout


� Connection Timeout / Connect Timeout

� Initial Catalog

� User ID

� Password / Pwd

� Data Source / Server/ Address / Addr /Network Address

� Integrated Security / Trusted_Connection

Creating Creating Creating Creating CommandsCommandsCommandsCommands

� ADO.NET Command object is used to

execute commands

� SqlCommand

� used for SQL Server database

� OleDBCommand

� used for all other types of databases

� Ways to create a Command:


� Ways to create a Command:

� use the Command constructor and pass the

Connection object as an argument

� use the CreateCommand method of the

Connection object

Executing Executing Executing Executing CommandsCommandsCommandsCommands

� Methods used to execute a Command:

� ExecuteReader

• used when the query will return a stream of

data

� ExecuteScalar

• used when the query return a single value


• used when the query return a single value

� ExecuteNonQuery

• used when the query will not return a

result

� ExecuteXMLReader

• used when the query includes a valid FOR

XML clause and it is valid only in

SqlCommand object

� Get Method

� Example of Read method

Dim datRead As SqlDataReader = New

DataAdapter DataAdapter DataAdapter DataAdapter ObjectObjectObjectObject

� used to link between data source and

cached tables

� Ways to create a DataAdapter object:

� Using an existing Connection object

� Using a closed connection
