  Execute a query on the database and return the result in form of a DataTable

• ExecuteSqlCommand( string sql ) : int
  Execute a command on the database, return the number of affected rows

Static Methods

• ParseToNumber<T>(object value, T standard, DbParsingOption options) : T
  Parse a recived object from a query to a numeric value. "T" is the Type of numeric value to return. If something happen, return the value passed in "standard". To change the parsing behaviour customize the values of the "options" object.

• ParseToString(Object value, string standard, DbParsingOption options) : string
  Parse a recived object from a query to a string. If something happen, return the value passed in "standard". To change the parsing behaviour customize the values of the "options" object.

Class DbParsingOption

Class used in static parse methods of Database class, to customize the parsing operation.

Example

    // create the connection
    Database DB = new Database("VAULT", "localhost", "mario", "12345678", DbSystem.SQL_SERVER);

    //test the connection
    bool isConnected = DB.TestConnection(true);

    if(isConnected)
    {
        // create and execute the query
        string query = "SELECT name, age FROM users";

        DataTable result = DB.ExecuteSqlQuery(query);

        // if no results are found return
        if(result.Rows.Count <= 0)
            return;

        // get the result from first row and column "age"
        object value = result.Rows[0]["age"];

        // use the parse method to transform the value to int
        int firstUserAge = Database.ParseToNumber(value, 0);
    }
