Note

If you're unable to delete objects from the MySQL server, it is possible that the server is running in safe mode. To disable safe mode, you can run the following query: SET SQL_SAFE_UPDATES=0;.

Important Points

  • We use ExecuteNonQuery for commands which modify the database;
  • ExecuteReader and ExecuteScalar are for querying commands that retrieve data from the database;
  • ExecuteReader returns a MySqlDataReader object;
  • MySqlDataReader has a method called read() which reads the rows in a sequential manner; We need to Close() the MySqlDataReader object after use;
  • ExecuteScalar returns an object which can be type-casted into the appropriate data type.
