ADO.

Net Database Programming


in C#
Overview
• .Net platform defined - a number of
namespaces to interact with local/ remote
database.
– Called ADO.Net
• Support – numerous data provider
– Allow to interact with specific DBMS ( SQL server,
Access, Oracle, MySql,…) .
• ADO.Net is successor of ADO(classic)
ADO.Net
• Designed – considering to work both- disconnected
and connection world.
• Support – both connected and disconnected world
• Deeply support for XML
– Data source serialized to XML (standard data rep. format)
• XML – transport between layer using standard http
• ADO (classic) – designed for tightly coupled c/s
system.
• Support multiple data provider – no need of
intermediate layer
The Core Objects of an ADO.NET Data Provider
The Core Objects continued…
Microsoft ADO.NET Data Providers
Data Providers
• MS SQL Server 7.0+
• Oracle
• OLE DB (old SQL & Access- Jet 4.0)
• Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)-
earlier Visual Studio, Access Driver, ODBC
for Oracle

• OleDB, ODBC, SQLdb, … DB


• Steps to get data:
1. dbConnection: connect to DB
2. dbCommand: SQL query text
Alternative: DataReader,
3. dbAdapter: executes query retrieve data incrementally
4. DataSet: resulting data
• Steps to display data:
• Bind to UI control, e.g. DataGrid
• or Manual data processing
C# DB Example
• Get data:
Using System.Data.OleDb;// “Jet” = MS Access DB driver
con = new OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:/test.mdb”);
cmd = new OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM table1”, con); // SQL query
adpt = new OleDbDataAdapter(cmd);
data = new DataSet( );
adpt.Fill(data); // execute the query and put result in ‘data’

• Display data:
dataGrid1.DataSource = data.Tables[0]; // show the table in the grid control
MessageBox.Show(data.Tables[0].Rows[0][5].ToString( )); // or process manually, this is row 0
col 5
DataSet vs. DataReader
DataSet:
• Like 2D array: a[r][c] DataReader: (standard)
• Full dataset read from DB at • 1 row at a time
query execution time • No local memory storage
• Dataset cached locally in • Fetch each row from DB on
mememory. demand
• Can disconnect from DB • “cursor” = current row
• Implemented using • Must stay connected to DB
DataReader/ DataAdapter • DataReader
• - scalability
• + random data access • + each row
• + Limited scalability • - random access difficult
• - initial read very slow
Object Model
DataSet:
DataReader: (standard)
• Tables[n]
• Columns[c] (current row)
– Rows[r]
– Value, type, …
• columns[c]
– Value, type, … • Columns info [c]
– Columns info [c] – Name, type, …
• Name, type, … • Cursor:
– moveNext, MovePrev,
moveTo
– EOF
Cursors
• Forward only - (forward/back vs. random
access)
• Read only vs. writeable
• …
Connections
• Connection strings:
• Con.open( )
• Queries here
• Con.close( ) // connections consume
resources

• Adapter.Fill( ) does open/close automatically


Commands (Queries)
• Command Types:
• SQL Query:
» Relation: SELECT
» Scalar: SELECT that returns 1 row, 1 col
» Non-query: INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
• Table name
• View name
• Rdr = Cmd.ExecuteReader( );
Query Parameters
• Want to substitute a parameter value into a query
• Dynamic SQL query construction:
cmd = new OleDbCommand(
"SELECT * FROM table WHERE myAttr = " + myValue, con);

• Parameterized query: (more robust, reusable)


cmd = new OleDbCommand(
"SELECT * FROM table WHERE myAttr = ?", con); // ? = parameter
cmd.Parameters.Add(“?”, myValue); // parameter value

• Or, put param query in DB as view / stored procedure:


cmd = new OleDbCommand("MyStoredQuery", con); // name of view
cmd.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.Parameters.Add("?", myValue); // parameter value
DataBound UI Controls
• Display a table:
• DataGrid
DataGrid control
• Display a column: -scroll, sort, edit, …
• DataList
• listBox
• ComboBox
• Display a cell value: (of current row)
• TextBox
• Can bind any property of any UI control to any DB
column
Manual data processing
•
foreach(DataRow r in dataSet1.Tables[0].Rows) // for each row
{
doSomethingWith(r[“columnName”]); //or:
foreach(Object v in r.ItemArray) // for each column
doSomethingWith(v);
}

•
Saving Data Changes
• Manual update/insert/delete queries:
cmd = new OleDbCommand(“UPDATE table SET myAttr=value WHERE id=idval”, con);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); // query does not return data.

• Adapters and bound UI Controls:


• User can edit in DataGrid, etc.
• Writes DataSet changes to DB on Update( ) method
• Must have param update/insert/delete commands in
Adapter
cmd = new OleDbCommand("UPDATE table SET attr1=?, attr2=? WHERE id=?", con);
cmd.Parameters.Add(new OleDbParameter(“?”, …, “attr1”, DataRowVersion.Current ));
cmd.Parameters.Add(new OleDbParameter(“?”, …, “attr2”, DataRowVersion.Current ));
cmd.Parameters.Add(new OleDbParameter(“?”, …, “id”, DataRowVersion.Original ));
adpt.UpdateCommand = cmd;

adpt.Update(data); // analogous to adpt.Fill(data);
