Namespace: DevExpress.Xpo

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpo.v24.2.dll

Declaration

public int ExecuteNonQuery(
    string sql
)

VB.NET

Public Function ExecuteNonQuery(
    sql As String
) As Integer

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
sql	String	Specifies an SQL statement.

Type	Description

Remarks

Use ExecuteNonQuery to execute SQL statements that do not produce result sets, such as UPDATE, INSERT, and DELETE statements.

The example below demonstrates how to use this method. Here, session is the Session instance.

C#

using DevExpress.Xpo;
// ...
public void UpdateOrderDetails() {
    const string queryString = 
        "UPDATE [Northwind].[dbo].[Order Details] SET [Discount] = 0.15";
    int rowsAffected = session.ExecuteNonQuery(queryString);
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.Xpo
' ...
Public Sub UpdateOrderDetails()
    Const queryString As String = "UPDATE [Northwind].[dbo].[Order Details] SET [Discount] = 0.15"
    Dim rowsAffected As Integer = session.ExecuteNonQuery(queryString)
End Sub

Note

The ExecuteNonQuery method sends statements directly, so the correct statement syntax depends on a particular database server.
