'Declaration
Public Sub ExecuteNonQuery ( _
    sqlCommands As StringCollection, _
    executionType As ExecutionTypes _
)
'Usage
Dim instance As Database
Dim sqlCommands As StringCollection
Dim executionType As ExecutionTypes

instance.ExecuteNonQuery(sqlCommands, _
    executionType)

public void ExecuteNonQuery(
    StringCollection sqlCommands,
    ExecutionTypes executionType
)

public:
void ExecuteNonQuery(
    StringCollection^ sqlCommands, 
    ExecutionTypes executionType
)

member ExecuteNonQuery : 
        sqlCommands:StringCollection * 
        executionType:ExecutionTypes -> unit 

public function ExecuteNonQuery(
    sqlCommands : StringCollection, 
    executionType : ExecutionTypes

Parameters

Remarks

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.

'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
