Question

I have a console application(C#) which returns dynamic number of 3 different results after running a foreach loop. Now, I want to store those in a SQL table. Say the console returns values like,
Name = John, Age= 23, Place= California
Name= Roy, Age= 24, Place= Calcutta
Name= Raul, Age=23, Place= Spain.

Can I stored this in SQL table like:

Name Age Place
John 23 California
Roy 24 Calcutta
Raul 23 Spain

Solution 1

create a table in sql with the columns you need. For example:

SQL

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[myTableName](
    [s_serial] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    [name] [char](15) NULL,
    [age] [int] NULL,
    [place] [char](50) NULL,
) ON [PRIMARY]

GO

on each iteration of the loop insert the values something like:

SQL

insert into myTableName values( nameVariable, ageVariable, placeVariable)

@Lee, But if we insert inside the foreach loop, it'll connect to the DB for each loop. Is there any way, where I can store the result say in a List and the insert at a time?

You could put them in an array first and then loop the array, inserting into the table. I dont know if that would be any better.

Or you could hold the sql insert text in a string variable and add to the string on each loop iteration. When its finished you could then execute the sql insert statement using the string variable.
