ExecuteTable(String, String) method

UL Ext.: Retrieves in a ULTable a database table for direct manipulation. The table is opened (sorted) using the specified index.

Syntax
Visual Basic
Public Function ExecuteTable( _
   ByVal tableName As String, _
   ByVal indexName As String _
) As ULTable
C#
public ULTable ExecuteTable(
   string  tableName,
   string  indexName
);
Parameters
  • tableName   The name of the table to open.

  • indexName   The name of the index with which to open (sort) the table.

Return value

The table as a ULTable object.

Remarks

This method is a shortcut for the ULCommand.ExecuteTable() method that does not require a ULCommand instance. It is provided to help users porting from earlier versions of UltraLite.NET (it replaces iAnywhere.UltraLite.Connection.GetTable() and iAnywhere.UltraLite.Table.Open()).

Example

The following code opens the table named MyTable using the index named MyIndex. It assumes an open ULConnection instance called conn.

' Visual Basic
Dim t As ULTable = conn.ExecuteTable("MyTable", "MyIndex")
' The line above is equivalent to
' Dim cmd As ULCommand = conn.CreateCommand()
' cmd.CommandText = "MyTable"
' cmd.IndexName = "MyIndex"
' cmd.CommandType = CommandType.TableDirect
' Dim t As ULTable = cmd.ExecuteTable()
' cmd.Dispose()
// C#
ULTable t = conn.ExecuteTable("MyTable", "MyIndex");
// The line above is equivalent to
// ULTable t;
// using(ULCommand cmd = conn.CreateCommand())
// {
//     cmd.CommandText = "MyTable";
//     cmd.IndexName = "MyIndex";
//     cmd.CommandType = CommandType.TableDirect;
//     t = cmd.ExecuteTable();
// }
