Note: This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 1.1 of the .NET Framework.

Represents an SQL statement or stored procedure to execute against a database. This class cannot be inherited.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.

Remarks

The OracleCommand class provides the following methods for executing commands against a data source:

You can reset the CommandText property and reuse the OracleCommand object.

If execution of the command results in a fatal OracleException, the OracleConnection may close. However, the user can reopen the connection and continue.

Note   Unlike the Command object in the other .NET Framework data providers (SQL Server, OLE DB, and ODBC), OracleCommand does not support a CommandTimeout property. Setting a command timeout has no effect and value returned is always zero.

Example

[Visual Basic, C#] The following example uses the ExecuteReader method of OracleCommand, along with OracleDataReader and OracleConnection, to select rows from a table.

[Visual Basic] 
Public Sub ReadMyData(myConnString As String)
    Dim mySelectQuery As String = "SELECT EmpNo, DeptNo FROM Emp"
    Dim myConnection As New OracleConnection(myConnString)
    Dim myCommand As New OracleCommand(mySelectQuery, myConnection)
    myConnection.Open()
    Dim myReader As OracleDataReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader()
    Try
        While myReader.Read()
            Console.WriteLine(myReader.GetInt32(0) & ", " _
               & myReader.GetInt32(1))
        End While
    Finally
        ' always call Close when done reading.
        myReader.Close()
        ' always call Close when done reading.
        myConnection.Close()
    End Try
End Sub

[C#] 
public void ReadMyData(string myConnString) 
{
   string mySelectQuery = "SELECT EmpNo, DeptNo FROM Emp";
   OracleConnection myConnection = new OracleConnection(myConnString);
   OracleCommand myCommand = new OracleCommand(mySelectQuery,myConnection);
   myConnection.Open();
   OracleDataReader myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader();
   try 
   {
     while (myReader.Read()) 
    {
       Console.WriteLine(myReader.GetInt32(0) + ", " + myReader.GetInt32(1));
    }
   }
      finally 
   {
    // always call Close when done reading.
    myReader.Close();
    // always call Close when done reading.
    myConnection.Close();
 }
}
