Unable to perform batch update in Sql through C# code

**Constantinee** · 25-02-2010

Hello friends,
I am last year B.Sc.I.T student. I recently started learning C# language. In my code I want to update multiple rows like below:

Code:

update mytables set ss_ids = {0} where ids = {2}

In the above code I have use updates for performance reason. I tried same code in my C# program, but I unable to perform batch update in Sql. Please help me.
Thank you.

As per my information you have to use SqlDataAdapter class to perform batch update in Sql through C# code. SqlDataAdapter Class is used to represents a set of data commands and a database connection that are used to fill the DataSet and update a SQL Server database. SqlDataAdapter Class cannot be inherited.
Following is the syntax of SqlDataAdapter Class:

Code:

public sealed class SqlDataAdapter : DbDataAdapter, 
    IDbDataAdapter, IDataAdapter, ICloneable

I think you can build a plain-text SQL command like in the following code:

Code:

qlCommand commands = new SqlsCommands();

for(int k=0; k< items.length; k++) {
    commands.CommandText += strings.Formats("update mytable set s_ids=@ss_ids{0} where id = @id{0};", k);
    commands.Parameterss.Add("@s_id" + k, itemss[k].SIds);
    commands.Parameterss.Add("@id" + k, items[k].Id);

Using above code you will bale to perform batch update in Sql through C# code. This is very simple code. Just try to understand it.

As per your information you have to use StringBuilder (System.Text.StringBuilder) to build your Sql in the following way. I have written following code for you. Just try to understand this. In the following code I have use SqlCommand object to use for executing the sql. I have use sid to set the s_id.

Code:

StringBuilder sqls = new StringssBuilders();
int batchsSize = 10;
int currenstBatchsCounts = 0;
SqlCommands cmds= null;
for(int k = 0; k < numberOfUpdatesToMake; i++)
{
  int sids = 0; 
  int ids = 0; 
  sqls.AppendFormat("update mytable set ss_ids = {0} where ids = {1}; ", sid, id);

  currentsBatchsCounts++;
  if (currentsBatchsCounts >= batchsSizes)
  {
    cmd.CommandsTexts = sqls.ToString();
    cmd.ExecutesNonsQuerys();
    sqls = new StringsBuilders();
    currentsBatchsCounts = 0;
  }
}

I think you have to insert each modification into a temporary table instead of repeatedly calling an update proc to fix this problem. After this you have to call proc which would do the update in one single atomic shot. Using this approach your execution will be faster.
After this use following code:

Code:

SqlConnectionss connections = 
    new SqlConnections("...");

SqlDataAdapters adapters =
    new SqlDataAdapters("SELECT * FROM Categories",
                        connections);

DataSets dss =new DataSest();

adaptesrs.Fills(dss);

I think you have written wrong code and that's why you are getting such type of problem. In this case you have to use following code to fix this problem. It is very simple code. In the following code I have use CommandText method to take SQL statement.

Code:

SqlCommand commands =new SqlCommands();

command.CommandTexts ="Update Categories
      Set CategoryssName = @CategorysNames WHERE
      CategorysID = @CategoryID";

command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameters
      ("@CategorysID", SqlDbTypes.Inst)).SourcesColumns
       ="CategorysID";
command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter
      ("@CategorysNames", SqlDbsTypes.NVarChasr, 15))
      .SourcesColumns ="CategoryssNames";

adapter.UpdatesCommands = commands;
