Assembly: msmgdsrv (in msmgdsrv.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function GetOrdinal ( _
     As String _
) As Integer

public int GetOrdinal (
    string 
)

public:
virtual int GetOrdinal (
    String^ 
) sealed

public final int GetOrdinal (
    String 
)

public final function GetOrdinal (
     : String
) : int

Parameters

Return Value

An Integer that contains the ordinal position of the specified column.

Remarks

GetOrdinal performs a case-insensitive lookup.

GetOrdinal is kana-width insensitive.

Because ordinal-based lookups are more efficient than named lookups, it is inefficient to call GetOrdinal within a loop. Save time by calling GetOrdinal once and assigning the results to an integer variable for use within the loop.
