...and expanding on this...
Sorry, guys - I didnt receive an e-mail for this thread *(Ive set the option in my control panel, now - missed it before!)*, and havent managed to get back for quite a while.
Yep - I was actually using a DataSet object and noticed that you can enter the SQL command directly as a string. I didnt realise that doing this actually makes the DataSet generate an SQL Command object.
Just to extend this question further, then:
Is there any advantage, also, to using parameters? After all, the query string could be built up using appended strings then submitted as a Command directly, instead of having to use parameter objects...
(Please note that these are more questions, I suppose, of "what is good and bad practice within OOP and VS.NET?").
Thanks again, to you all.
Paul.
