Examples

The following example uses ExecuteNonQuery.

public void InsertRow(string connectionString, string insertSQL)
{
    using (OdbcConnection connection =
               new OdbcConnection(connectionString))
    {
        // The insertSQL string contains a SQL statement that
        // inserts a new row in the source table.
        OdbcCommand command = new OdbcCommand(insertSQL, connection);

        // Open the connection and execute the insert command.
        try
        {
            connection.Open();
            command.ExecuteNonQuery();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
        }
        // The connection is automatically closed when the
        // code exits the using block.
    }
}

Public Sub InsertRow(ByVal connectionString As String, _
    ByVal insertSQL As String)

    Using connection As New OdbcConnection(connectionString)
        ' The insertSQL string contains a SQL statement that
        ' inserts a new row in the source table.
        Dim command As New OdbcCommand(insertSQL, connection)

        ' Open the connection and execute the insert command.
        Try
            connection.Open()
            command.ExecuteNonQuery()
        Catch ex As Exception
            Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)
        End Try
        ' The connection is automatically closed when the
        ' code exits the Using block.
    End Using
End Sub

Remarks

The OdbcCommand class provides the following methods for executing commands against a data source:

Item	Description
ExecuteReader	Executes commands that return rows.
ExecuteNonQuery	Executes commands such as SQL INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE, and SET statements.
ExecuteScalar	Retrieves a single value, for example, an aggregate value, from a database.

You can reset the CommandText property and reuse the OdbcCommand object. However, you must close the OdbcDataReader before you can execute a new or previous command.

If execution of the command causes a fatal OdbcException such as a SQL Server severity level of 20 or more, OdbcConnection may close. However, the user can reopen the connection and continue.

Constructors

OdbcCommand()	Initializes a new instance of the OdbcCommand class.
OdbcCommand(String, OdbcConnection, OdbcTransaction)	Initializes a new instance of the OdbcCommand class with the text of the query, an OdbcConnection object, and the Transaction.
OdbcCommand(String, OdbcConnection)	Initializes a new instance of the OdbcCommand class with the text of the query and an OdbcConnection object.
OdbcCommand(String)	Initializes a new instance of the OdbcCommand class with the text of the query.

Properties

CommandText	Gets or sets the SQL statement or stored procedure to execute against the data source.
CommandTimeout	Gets or sets the wait time (in seconds) before terminating an attempt to execute a command and generating an error.
CommandType	Gets or sets a value that indicates how the CommandText property is interpreted.
Connection	Gets or sets the OdbcConnection used by this instance of the OdbcCommand.
DbConnection	Gets or sets the DbConnection used by this DbCommand. (Inherited from DbCommand)
DbParameterCollection	Gets the collection of DbParameter objects. (Inherited from DbCommand)
DbTransaction	Gets or sets the DbTransaction within which this DbCommand object executes. (Inherited from DbCommand)
DesignTimeVisible	Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the command object should be visible in a customized interface control.
Parameters	Gets the OdbcParameterCollection.
Transaction	Gets or sets the OdbcTransaction within which the OdbcCommand executes.
UpdatedRowSource	Gets or sets a value that specifies how the Update method should apply command results to the DataRow.

Methods

Cancel()	Tries to cancel the execution of an OdbcCommand.
CreateDbParameter()	Creates a new instance of a DbParameter object. (Inherited from DbCommand)
CreateParameter()	Creates a new instance of an OdbcParameter object.
Dispose()	Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources. (Inherited from DbCommand)
Dispose(Boolean)	Releases the unmanaged resources used by the DbCommand and optionally releases the managed resources. (Inherited from DbCommand)
DisposeAsync()	Asynchronously diposes the command object. (Inherited from DbCommand)
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
ExecuteDbDataReader(CommandBehavior)	Executes the command against its connection, returning a DbDataReader which can be used to access the results. (Inherited from DbCommand)
ExecuteDbDataReaderAsync(CommandBehavior, CancellationToken)	Providers should implement this method to provide a non-default implementation for ExecuteReader overloads. The default implementation invokes the synchronous ExecuteReader() method and returns a completed task, blocking the calling thread. The default implementation will return a cancelled task if passed an already cancelled cancellation token. Exceptions thrown by ExecuteReader will be communicated via the returned Task Exception property. This method accepts a cancellation token that can be used to request the operation to be cancelled early. Implementations may ignore this request. (Inherited from DbCommand)
ExecuteNonQuery()	Executes an SQL statement against the Connection and returns the number of rows affected.
ExecuteNonQueryAsync()	An asynchronous version of ExecuteNonQuery(), which executes the command against its connection object, returning the number of rows affected. Invokes ExecuteNonQueryAsync(CancellationToken) with CancellationToken.None. (Inherited from DbCommand)
ExecuteNonQueryAsync(CancellationToken)	This is the asynchronous version of ExecuteNonQuery(). Providers should override with an appropriate implementation. The cancellation token may optionally be ignored. The default implementation invokes the synchronous ExecuteNonQuery() method and returns a completed task, blocking the calling thread. The default implementation will return a cancelled task if passed an already cancelled cancellation token. Exceptions thrown by ExecuteNonQuery() will be communicated via the returned Task Exception property. Do not invoke other methods and properties of the DbCommand object until the returned Task is complete. (Inherited from DbCommand)
ExecuteReader()	Sends the CommandText to the Connection and builds an OdbcDataReader.
ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior)	Sends the CommandText to the Connection, and builds an OdbcDataReader using one of the CommandBehavior values.
ExecuteReaderAsync()	An asynchronous version of ExecuteReader, which executes the command against its connection, returning a DbDataReader which can be used to access the results. Invokes ExecuteDbDataReaderAsync(CommandBehavior, CancellationToken) with CancellationToken.None. (Inherited from DbCommand)
ExecuteReaderAsync(CancellationToken)	An asynchronous version of ExecuteReader, which executes the command against its connection, returning a DbDataReader which can be used to access the results. Invokes ExecuteDbDataReaderAsync(CommandBehavior, CancellationToken). (Inherited from DbCommand)
ExecuteReaderAsync(CommandBehavior, CancellationToken)	Invokes ExecuteDbDataReaderAsync(CommandBehavior, CancellationToken). (Inherited from DbCommand)
ExecuteReaderAsync(CommandBehavior)	An asynchronous version of ExecuteReader, which executes the command against its connection, returning a DbDataReader which can be used to access the results. Invokes ExecuteDbDataReaderAsync(CommandBehavior, CancellationToken). (Inherited from DbCommand)
ExecuteScalar()	Executes the query, and returns the first column of the first row in the result set returned by the query. Additional columns or rows are ignored.
ExecuteScalarAsync()	An asynchronous version of ExecuteScalar(), which executes the command and returns the first column of the first row in the first returned result set. All other columns, rows and result sets are ignored. Invokes ExecuteScalarAsync(CancellationToken) with CancellationToken.None. (Inherited from DbCommand)
ExecuteScalarAsync(CancellationToken)	This is the asynchronous version of ExecuteScalar(). Providers should override with an appropriate implementation. The cancellation token may optionally be ignored. The default implementation invokes the synchronous ExecuteScalar() method and returns a completed task, blocking the calling thread. The default implementation will return a cancelled task if passed an already cancelled cancellation token. Exceptions thrown by ExecuteScalar will be communicated via the returned Task Exception property. Do not invoke other methods and properties of the DbCommand object until the returned Task is complete. (Inherited from DbCommand)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
Prepare()	Creates a prepared or compiled version of the command at the data source.
PrepareAsync(CancellationToken)	Asynchronously creates a prepared (or compiled) version of the command on the data source. (Inherited from DbCommand)
ResetCommandTimeout()	Resets the CommandTimeout property to the default value.
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
