ADO.NET in a Nutshell

Name

OleDbCommand

Synopsis

This class represents a SQL command that can be executed against a data source through the .NET OLE DB provider. For information about the basic OleDbCommand methods and properties, refer to the reference for the System.Data.IDbCommand interface, which OleDbCommand implements. OleDbCommand errors result in a OleDbException being thrown.

When CommandType is set to System.Data.CommandType.Text, named parameters aren’t supported. This differs from the SQL Server provider. In this case, you must use a question mark (?) placeholder for parameters in the SQL statement. For example, you can set the CommandType to System.Data.CommandType.Text, and set the CommandText to:

SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE CustomerID = ?

to specify that a CustomerID value will be supplied as a parameter. If there is more than one parameter, the order in which you insert the OleDbParameter to the Parameters collection must match the order of the placeholders.
