SQLReader

Hi there,

I am using a SQL reader to read data from a table. Here is how I use it.

SqlDataReader lobj_Table = SqlHelper.Execu teReader(Connec tionObject,Comm andType.Text,ls tr_SQL);

Now I need to confirm a few points here. If I am reading the data from a single table then the sqlreader works fine. But one of my collegues mentioned that sql reader does not always work if my sql query consists of one or more joins. Is it true? It is important that I use SQL reader and not a datatable because of memory issues etc.

Please let me know what is the best way to read data from multiple tables using a sql reader.

Thanks and Regards,
Saurabh

I believe you're talking about the SqlDataReader class. And your colleague
is dead wrong. A query is a query, and regardless of whether it is fetched
from 1 table or 100 tables, it is a single table when you fetch it.

I have never had a problem using joins with an SQL reader. I seldom have an
sql statement with out a join.

Hi, Following is a function I wrote to export the rows of an arbitrary table. It's not complete yet, in that it currently does not output to a file (it uses Debug.WriteLine() at the moment) and it currently assumes MS-SQL Server database types (int, bit, varchar, etc) and only handles a few of the datatypes. It works, but it's rather slow. The problem being that every field of every row must be checked for the datatype, so that the...
