Parameters

  • sqlCommands
    A StringCollection System object value that contains more than one Transact-SQL command.
  • executionType
    An ExecutionTypes object value that specifies the execution type.

Remarks

Updated text:17 July 2006

The StringCollection value of the sqlCommands parameter makes it possible to send a Transact-SQL script with multiple commands.

The executionType parameter is used to filter the types of commands that are run. For example, you can specify that the execution continue after encountering an error with the ContinueOnError option.

This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 2.0 of the Microsoft .NET Framework.

Example

'Connect to the local, default instance of SQL Server.
Dim srv As Server
srv = New Server

'Reference the AdventureWorks database.
Dim db As Database
db = srv.Databases("AdventureWorks")

'Run a Transact-SQL command on the database.
db.ExecuteNonQuery("CHECKPOINT")

'Run a Transact-SQL command with results and display.
Dim ds As DataSet
ds = db.ExecuteWithResults( _
"SELECT * FROM Person.Address")
Dim t As DataTable
Dim r As DataRow
Dim c As DataColumn
For Each t In ds.Tables
   For Each r In t.Rows
      For Each c In r.Table.Columns
          Console.WriteLine( _
          c.ColumnName + " = " + r(c).ToString)
