Data Table Support in ADO.NET

OpenESQL supports two types of data tables in ADO.NET - data tables inside data sets, and free-standing data tables. The EXEC ADO operations available for each type differ in the way data tables are specified in their syntax. For example, EXEC ADO statements that apply to free-standing data tables contain a DATATABLE keyword in their syntax. Those that apply to data tables within data sets contain an optional USING clause.

  • DECLARE DATATABLE
  • GET CURSOR
  • GET DATATABLE
  • INITIALIZE DATATABLE
  • LOAD DATATABLE
  • MERGE
  • SAVE DATATABLE
  • UNBIND
