Trang 1Using Stored Procedures to Add, Modify, and Remove Rows from the Database
You can get a DataAdapter object to call stored procedures to add, modify, and remove rows from the database These procedures are called instead of the INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements you've seen how to set in a DataAdapter object's
InsertCommand, UpdateCommand, and DeleteCommand properties
The ability to call stored procedures using a DataAdapter is a very powerful addition to ADO.NET For example, you can use a stored procedure to add a row to a table
containing an identity column, and then retrieve the new value for that column generated
by the database You can also do additional work in a stored procedure such as inserting a row into an audit table when a row is modified You'll see examples of both these
scenarios in this section
Tip Using stored procedures instead of INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements can
also improve performance You should use stored procedures if your database
supports them SQL Server and Oracle support stored procedures Oracle stored-procedures are written in PL/SQL
The ProductID column of the Products table is an identity column, and you saw a number
of stored procedures in Chapter 4, "Introduction to Transact-SQL Programming," that added a row to the Products table and returned the ProductID
In this section, you'll see how to
• Create the required stored procedures in the Northwind database
• Set up a DataAdapter to call the stored procedures
• Add, modify, and remove a DataRow to from a DataTable
The C# methods shown in this section follow the same steps as shown in the earlier section, "Modifying Rows in a DataTable."
Note You'll find a complete program named PushChangesUsingProcedures.cs in the ch11 directory that illustrates the use of the methods shown in this section The
listing for this program is omitted from this book for brevity
Creating the Stored Procedures in the Database
You'll create the following three stored procedures in the Northwind database:
• AddProduct4(), which adds a row to the Products table
• UpdateProduct(), which updates a row in the Products table
• DeleteProduct(), which deletes a row from the Products table
Trang 2Let's take a look at these procedures
The AddProduct4() Procedure
AddProduct4() adds a row to the Products table It uses the number 4 because previous chapters featured procedures named AddProduct(), AddProduct2(), and AddProduct3() Listing 11.4 shows the AddProduct4.sql file that you use to create the AddProduct4() procedure Refer to Chapter 4 if you need a refresher on the Transact-SQL language or if you need to find out how to run this script to create the procedure in the database
Listing 11.4: ADDPRODUCT4.SQL
/*
AddProduct4.sql creates a procedure that adds a row to the
Products table using values passed as parameters to the
procedure The procedure returns the ProductID of the new row
using a RETURN statement
*/
CREATE PROCEDURE AddProduct4
@MyProductName nvarchar(40),
@MyUnitPrice money
AS
declare the @MyProductID variable
DECLARE @MyProductID int
insert a row into the Products table
INSERT INTO Products (
ProductName, UnitPrice
) VALUES (
@MyProductName, @MyUnitPrice
)
use the SCOPE_IDENTITY() function to get the last
identity value inserted into a table performed within
the current database session and stored procedure,
so SCOPE_IDENTITY returns the ProductID for the new row
in the Products table in this case
SET @MyProductID = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
RETURN @MyProductID
Trang 3Note You'll find the AddProduct4.sql file in the ch11 directory
The UpdateProduct() Procedure
UpdateProduct() updates a row in the Products table Listing 11.5 shows the
UpdateProduct.sql file that you use to create the UpdateProduct() procedure
Listing 11.5: UPDATEPRODUCT.SQL
/*
UpdateProduct.sql creates a procedure that modifies a row
in the Products table using values passed as parameters
to the procedure
*/
CREATE PROCEDURE UpdateProduct
@OldProductID int,
@NewProductName nvarchar(40),
@NewUnitPrice money,
@OldProductName nvarchar(40),
@OldUnitPrice money
AS
update the row in the Products table
UPDATE Products
SET
ProductName = @NewProductName,
UnitPrice = @NewUnitPrice
WHERE ProductID = @OldProductID
AND ProductName = @OldProductName
AND UnitPrice = @OldUnitPrice
Because the WHERE clause contains the old column values in the UPDATE statement of this procedure, the UPDATE uses optimistic concurrency described earlier This means that one user doesn't overwrite another user's changes
The DeleteProduct() Procedure
DeleteProduct() deletes a row from the Products table Listing 11.6 shows the
DeleteProduct.sql file that you use to create the DeleteProduct() procedure
Listing 11.6: DELETEPRODUCT.SQL
/*
Trang 4DeleteProduct.sql creates a procedure that removes a row
from the Products table
*/
CREATE PROCEDURE DeleteProduct
@OldProductID int,
@OldProductName nvarchar(40),
@OldUnitPrice money
AS
delete the row from the Products table
DELETE FROM Products
WHERE ProductID = @OldProductID
AND ProductName = @OldProductName
AND UnitPrice = @OldUnitPrice
Using SET NOCOUNT ON in Stored Procedures
In Chapter 4, "Introduction to Transact-SQL Programming," you saw that you use the SET NOCOUNT ON command to prevent Transact-SQL from returning the number of rows affected Typically, you must avoid using this command in your stored procedures because the DataAdapter uses the returned number of rows affected to know whether the update succeeded
There is one situation when you must use SET NOCOUNT ON: when your stored procedure performs an INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement that affects another table besides the main one you are pushing a change to For example, say the
DeleteProduct() procedure also performed an INSERT statement to add a row to the ProductAudit table (described in Chapter 4) to record the attempt to delete the row from
the Products table In this example, you must use SET NOCOUNT ON before
performing the INSERT into the ProductAudit table, as shown in Listing 11.7
Listing 11.7: DELETEPRODUCT2.SQL
/*
DeleteProduct2.sql creates a procedure that removes a row
from the Products table
*/
CREATE PROCEDURE DeleteProduct2
@OldProductID int,
@OldProductName nvarchar(40),
@OldUnitPrice money
Trang 5AS
delete the row from the Products table
DELETE FROM Products
WHERE ProductID = @OldProductID
AND ProductName = @OldProductName
AND UnitPrice = @OldUnitPrice
use SET NOCOUNT ON to suppress the return of the
number of rows affected by the INSERT statement
SET NOCOUNT ON
add a row to the Audit table
IF @@ROWCOUNT = 1
INSERT INTO ProductAudit (
Action
) VALUES (
'Product deleted with ProductID of ' +
CONVERT(nvarchar, @OldProductID)
)
ELSE
INSERT INTO ProductAudit (
Action
) VALUES (
'Product with ProductID of ' +
CONVERT(nvarchar, @OldProductID) +
' was not deleted'
)
By using SET NOCOUNT ON before the INSERT, only the number of rows affected by the DELETE statement is returned, and the DataAdapter therefore gets the correct value Transact-SQL also has a SET NOCOUNT ON command to turn on the number of rows affected You can use a combination of SET NOCOUNT OFF and SET NOCOUNT ON
if you need to perform an INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement before the main SQL statement in your stored procedure
Setting Up a DataAdapter to Call Stored Procedures
As mentioned in the earlier section "Modifying Rows in a DataTable," you need to create
a DataAdapter object and set its SelectCommand, InsertCommand, UpdateCommand, and DeleteCommand properties with appropriate Command objects This time, however,
Trang 6the InsertCommand, UpdateCommand, and DeleteCommand properties will contain Command objects that call the stored procedures shown earlier
First, the following example creates a SqlCommand object containing a SELECT
statement and sets the SelectCommand property of a SqlDataAdapter to that
SqlCommand:
SqlCommand mySelectCommand = mySqlConnection.CreateCommand();
mySelectCommand.CommandText =
"SELECT " +
" ProductID, ProductName, UnitPrice " +
"FROM Products " +
"ORDER BY ProductID";
SqlDataAdapter mySqlDataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter();
mySqlDataAdapter.SelectCommand = mySelectCommand;
The SELECT statement is then run when you call the mySqlDataAdapter object's Fill() method to retrieve rows from the Products table into a DataSet
Before you can push changes to the database, you must set the InsertCommand,
UpdateCommand, and DeleteCommand properties of your DataAdapter with Command objects These Command objects will contain calls to the AddProduct4(),
UpdateProduct(), and DeleteProduct() stored procedures that you created earlier When you then add, modify, or remove DataRow objects from your DataSet, and then call the Update() method of your DataAdapter, the appropriate stored procedure is run to push your changes to the database
Let's take a look at how to set the InsertCommand, UpdateCommand, and
DeleteCommand properties of your DataAdapter
