Use of a transaction
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
class ExecuteTransaction
{
public static void Main()
{
SqlConnection mySqlConnection =new SqlConnection("server=(local)SQLEXPRESS;database=MyDatabase;Integrated Security=SSPI;");
mySqlConnection.Open();
SqlTransaction mySqlTransaction = mySqlConnection.BeginTransaction();
SqlCommand mySqlCommand = mySqlConnection.CreateCommand();
mySqlCommand.Transaction = mySqlTransaction;
mySqlCommand.CommandText =
"INSERT INTO Employee (" +
" ID, FirstName" +
") VALUES (" +
" 10, 'Jason'" +
")";
Console.WriteLine("Running first INSERT statement");
mySqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
mySqlCommand.CommandText =
"INSERT INTO Employee (" +
" ID, FirstName" +
") VALUES (" +
" 11, 'Jason'" +
")";
Console.WriteLine("Running second INSERT statement");
mySqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
Console.WriteLine("Committing transaction");
mySqlTransaction.Commit();
mySqlConnection.Close();
}
}
Set a savepoint in a transaction
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
class Savepoint {
public static void Main() {
SqlConnection mySqlConnection =

"INSERT INTO Customers ( " +
" CustomerID, CompanyName " +
") VALUES ( " +
" 'J8COM', 'J8 Company' " +

Get table Schema
using System;

}
}
reader.Close();
} catch(Exception e) {
Console.WriteLine("Error Occurred: " + e);

How to read a table schema
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
class SchemaOnlyCommandBehavior
{
public static void Main()
{
SqlConnection mySqlConnection =new SqlConnection("server=(local)SQLEXPRESS;database=MyDatabase;Integrated Security=SSPI;");
SqlCommand mySqlCommand = mySqlConnection.CreateCommand();
mySqlCommand.CommandText ="SELECT ID, FirstName, LastName FROM Employee WHERE ID = 8";

foreach (DataRow myDataRow in myDataTable.Rows)

Console.WriteLine("
New column details follow:");
foreach (DataColumn myDataColumn in myDataTable.Columns)

Console.WriteLine(myDataColumn + "= " +
myDataRow[myDataColumn]);
if (myDataColumn.ToString() == "ProviderType")
{
Console.WriteLine(myDataColumn + "= " +
((System.Data.SqlDbType) myDataRow[myDataColumn]));
}
}

Get Column data type and name from DataColumn
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.OleDb;
public class DatabaseInfo {
public static void Main () {
String connect = "Provider=Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0;data source=.Employee.mdb";

DataTable item = ds.Tables[0];
Console.WriteLine("Table name: {0}", item.TableName);
Console.WriteLine("Its columns are:");
foreach (DataColumn col in item.Columns)
