Practical No.

27
Understand the concept of select and insert data in database table.

I. Practical Significance:
In VB.Net for connection & communication with database to data retrieval & updating
with data access controls.

II. Relevant Program Outcomes (POs)

Basic knowledge: Apply knowledge of basic mathematics, sciences and basic
engineering to solve the computer group related problems.

Discipline knowledge: Apply Computer Programming knowledge to solve the

computer group related problems.

Experiments and practice: Plan to perform experiments and practices to use the
results to solve the computer group related problems.

Engineering tools: Apply relevant Computer programming / technologies and tools

with an understanding of the limitations.

Communication: Communicate effectively in oral and written form.

III. Competency and Practical Skills

This practical expects to develop the following skills in the student.

Develop VB.NET programs to solve computer group related problems.

• Write an NET program for database connection with retrieve and store.
• Compile/Debug/Save the „VB.NET‟

IV. Relevant Course Outcomes

Use Data access controls to store data in Database and retrieve it.

V. Practical Outcome
Write a VB.Net Code to store and retrieve data in Database Table.

VI. Relevant Affective domain related Outcome(s)

• Follow safety
 • Follow ethical

VII. Minimum Theoretical Background

A Command object executes SQL statements on the database. These SQL statements
can be SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE. It uses a connection object to perform
these actions on the database.

Syntax of SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE SELECT

cmd =new SqlCommand(“select * from Employee”, con);

INSERT

cmd = new SqlCommand(“INSERT INTO Employee(Emp_ID, Emp_Name)VALUES (‘” +

aa + “‘,'” + bb + “‘)”, con);

UPDATE

SqlCommand cmd =new SqlCommand(“UPDATE Employee SET Emp_ID ='” + aa +

“‘, Emp_Name ='” + bb + “‘ WHERE Emp_ID = ‘” + aa + “‘”, con);

DELETE

cmd =new SqlCommand(“DELETE FROM Employee where Emp_ID='” + aa + “‘”, con);

A Command object exposes several execute methods like:

• ExecuteScaler()

Executes the query, and returns the first column of the first row in the result set
returned by the query. Extra columns or rows are ignored. dr =
cmd.ExecuteScaler();

– ExecuteReader()
Display all columns and all rows at client-side environment. In other words, we can
say that they display datatables client-side.

dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();

– ExecuteNonQuery()
Something is done by the database but nothing is returned by the database. dr =
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

VIII. Resources required (Additional)

• If any web resources required.

IX. Precautions

• Save the program in specific directory /

• Follow safety

X. Resources used (Additional)

XI. Program Code: (Teacher must assign separate program statement

to group of 3-4 student)
Write a program to insert the data & retrieve the data from database.

1. Write a program to insert the data & retrieve the data from database.

XIII. Practical Related Questions
Note: Below given are few sample questions for reference. Teacher must design
more such questions so as to ensure the achievement of identified CO.

• Write syntax of command object execute

(Space for answers)

1. Write syntax of command object execute method.

• ExecuteScaler():

dr = cmd.ExecuteScaler();
