Declaration

    string sql,
    QueryParameterCollection parameters

    parameters As QueryParameterCollection
) As SelectedData

Parameters

sql	String	Specifies an SQL statement.
parameters	QueryParameterCollection	Specifies query parameter values.

Remarks

Use the ExecuteQuery method to query data stores for resulting sets. You can visualize resulting sets using the XPDataView. Refer to this article for additional information: How to: Access Data in SQL Query Results.

Use QueryParameterCollection to pass strongly-typed parameters. See examples here: Always Encrypted (SQL Server only).

The connection provider automatically generates sequential parameter names (p0, p1, p2 …). To specify custom parameter names, use the overloaded ExecuteQuery(String, String[], QueryParameterCollection) method.

To learn more about executing SQL statements in XPO, refer to Direct SQL Queries.

Note

The ExecuteQuery method sends statements directly, so the correct statement syntax and parameter names format depends on a particular database server.
