Public Property DeleteCommand As OdbcCommand

Property Value

OdbcCommand

An OdbcCommand used during an update operation to delete records in the data source that correspond to deleted rows in the DataSet.

Examples

The following example creates an OdbcDataAdapter and sets the SelectCommand and DeleteCommand properties. It assumes that you have already created an OdbcConnection object.

public static OdbcDataAdapter CreateDataAdapter(
    OdbcConnection connection)
{
    string selectCommand =
        "SELECT CustomerID, CompanyName FROM Customers";

    OdbcDataAdapter adapter = new OdbcDataAdapter(
        selectCommand, connection);
    adapter.MissingSchemaAction = MissingSchemaAction.AddWithKey;

    // Create the Insert, Update and Delete commands.
    adapter.InsertCommand = new OdbcCommand(
        "INSERT INTO Customers (CustomerID, CompanyName) " +
        "VALUES (?, ?)");

    adapter.UpdateCommand = new OdbcCommand(
        "UPDATE Customers SET CustomerID = ?, CompanyName = ? " +
        "WHERE CustomerID = ?");

    adapter.DeleteCommand = new OdbcCommand(
        "DELETE FROM Customers WHERE CustomerID = ?");

    // Create the parameters.
    adapter.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add("@CustomerID",
        OdbcType.Char, 5, "CustomerID");
    adapter.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add("@CompanyName",
        OdbcType.VarChar, 40, "CompanyName");

    adapter.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@CustomerID",
        OdbcType.Char, 5, "CustomerID");
    adapter.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@CompanyName",
        OdbcType.VarChar, 40, "CompanyName");
    adapter.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@oldCustomerID",
        OdbcType.Char, 5, "CustomerID").SourceVersion =
        DataRowVersion.Original;

    adapter.DeleteCommand.Parameters.Add("@CustomerID",
        OdbcType.Char, 5, "CustomerID").SourceVersion =
        DataRowVersion.Original;

    return adapter;
}

Public Function CreateDataAdapter( _
    ByVal connection As OdbcConnection) As OdbcDataAdapter

    Dim selectCommand As String = _
        "SELECT CustomerID, CompanyName FROM Customers"
    Dim adapter As OdbcDataAdapter = _
        New OdbcDataAdapter(selectCommand, connection)

    adapter.MissingSchemaAction = MissingSchemaAction.AddWithKey

    ' Create the Insert, Update and Delete commands.
    adapter.InsertCommand = New OdbcCommand( _
        "INSERT INTO Customers (CustomerID, CompanyName) " & _
         "VALUES (?, ?)")

    adapter.UpdateCommand = New OdbcCommand( _
        "UPDATE Customers SET CustomerID = ?, CompanyName = ? " & _
        "WHERE CustomerID = ?")

    adapter.DeleteCommand = New OdbcCommand( _
        "DELETE FROM Customers WHERE CustomerID = ?")

    ' Create the parameters.
    adapter.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add( _
        "@CustomerID", OdbcType.Char, 5, "CustomerID")
    adapter.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add( _
        "@CompanyName", OdbcType.VarChar, 40, "CompanyName")

    adapter.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add( _
        "@CustomerID", OdbcType.Char, 5, "CustomerID")
    adapter.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add( _
        "@CompanyName", OdbcType.VarChar, 40, "CompanyName")
    adapter.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add( _
        "@oldCustomerID", OdbcType.Char, 5, "CustomerID").SourceVersion = _
        DataRowVersion.Original

    adapter.DeleteCommand.Parameters.Add( _
        "@CustomerID", OdbcType.Char, 5, "CustomerID").SourceVersion = _
        DataRowVersion.Original

    Return adapter
End Function

Remarks

When the DeleteCommand property is assigned to a previously created OdbcCommand, the OdbcCommand is not cloned. Instead, the DeleteCommand maintains a reference to the previously created OdbcCommand.

During an update operation, if DeleteCommand is not set and primary key information is present in the DataSet, you can use the OdbcCommandBuilder class to automatically generate the DeleteCommand, and additional commands needed to reconcile the DataSet to the data source. To do this, set the SelectCommand property of the OdbcDataAdapter. The generation logic also requires key column information to be present in the DataSet. For more information, see Generating Commands with CommandBuilders.
