Updating values from excel to database

I am facing difficulty on writing logic to insert data into the database from some array. My requirement is if the data already exist in SQL insert query should not be executed. only when that data does not exist in database the insert query has to be executed where data will be inserted. I have tried a lot please find my code below.
public void writetodatabase()
{
//SQL connection String
SqlConnection cnn = new SqlConnection(#"Data Source=ABDUL-TPS\TPSSQLSERVER;Initial Catalog=Automation;Integrated Security=True");
// Open Connection to sql
cnn.Open();
// Declare a DataTable which will contain the result from SQL query
DataTable DT = new DataTable();
for(int m =0; m < globalZoho_Names.Length; m++)
{
string query1 = "select * from tbl_Zoho_data where col_Zoho_SKU like '" + globalZoho_SKU[m] + "'";
SqlCommand cmd1 = new SqlCommand(query1, cnn);
SqlDataReader reader1 = cmd1.ExecuteReader();
while (reader1.Read())
{
string zohosku = reader1["col_Zoho_SKU"].ToString();
if (zohosku == null)
{
string ItemName = reader1["col_item_name"].ToString();
string insert1 = "insert into tbl_zOHO_DATA values ('" + globalZoho_SKU[m] + "','" + globalZoho_Names[m] + "')";
SqlDataAdapter DA_insert = new SqlDataAdapter(insert1, cnn);
DA_insert.Fill(DT);
Label1.Text = "Khulja Sim Sim";
}
}
reader1.Close();
}
}
I want the code to check for the values first into the database and then insert only those values which do not exist in the database.

insert,update in single button clickin winforms

I am not getting, how to do insert and update of the data in C# WinForms on single button click.
private void save_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection();
cn.ConnectionString = "data source=Sai;database=kaur; user id=sa;password=azxc;";
cn.Open();
string gen;
if (radioButton1.Checked == true)
gen = "Male";
else
gen = "Female";
string clas = null;
clas = comboBox1.Text;
string section = null;
section = comboBox2.Text;
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
cmd.CommandText = "insert into studetail values('" + textBox1.Text + "','" + textBox2.Text + "','" + gen + "','" + textBox3.Text + "','" + clas + "','" + section + "')";
cmd.Connection = cn;
int n = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
if (n > 0)
MessageBox.Show(n + " Row Inserted.");
else
MessageBox.Show("Insertion failed.");
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from studetail ", cn);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
da.Fill(dt);
dataGridView1.DataSource = dt;

You can add a deletion before the insertion:
private void save_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DeletePerson(id); // add this
SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection();
...
}
public void DeletePerson(int id)
{
using(SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(credentials))
{
connection.Open();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
cmd.Connection = connection;
cmd.CommandText = "delete from studetail where someUniqeIdColumn = " + id;
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
}
Using responsible to dispose the connection.
Consider using Entity Framework or LINQ to SQL.
You are exposed to SQL injection.

First off the SQL query isn't quite right. It should look something like the following:
INSERT INTO studetail (columnName1, columnName2, ...columnNameN)
VALUES (value1, value2, ...valueN);
Where the column names are the columns where you want data to be inserted, and the values are the data you want inserted into said columns.
You should also be disposing the connection by wrapping the connection within a using statement.
using(var con = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
con.Open();
//rest of code that needs a connection here
}
Additionally, you need to be wary of SQL injection. I highly suggest reading this example from the MSDN website. It will give you an example of using an SQL Update and avoiding SQL injection with use of SqlCommand.Paramaters property.
You should also have a Primary Key in your database tables, if you don't already, so you can uniquely identify each record in a table.
To do an update and a save on the same button, you will need to check if a row already exists for the data that is being edited. This when a Primary comes in handy. You will want to check your database to see if a record already exists
SELECT 1 FROM studetail WHERE <Condition>
The WHERE condition will be the way you uniquely identify (a Primary Key) a row in your table. If the rows in the table are uniquely identified, the above SQL statement will return 1 if a value exists, which means you can UPDATE or 0 if no record exists, so you can INSERT

c# mysql DELETE FROM STRING WHERE.... I try use string as table name [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Can I pass column name as input parameter in SQL stored Procedure
(9 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
so I have string which is named as column name how should I write string as a column name into query? Here is my code :
string pas;
MySqlConnection cnn = new MySqlConnection(connectionString);
cnn.Open();
string likvidavimas = "DELETE FROM '"+ pas +"' WHERE ID='"+ ID +"'";
MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand(likvidavimas, cnn);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

Remove the apostrophes from the tablename
MySqlCommand likvidavimas = "DELETE FROM "+ pas +" WHERE ID='"+ ID +"'";
But i would also use sql-parameters to prevent sql injection.
MySqlCommand likvidavimas = "DELETE FROM "+ pas +" WHERE ID=#ID";
likvidavimas.Parameters.AddWithValue("#ID", ID);

Don't leave yourself open to security issues, this is really not a good idea in my opinion. I would personally avoid the use of dynamic sql and just write out a different query for each column you need to edit. Check out this thread if you are dead set on this approach.
Like this...
string pas;
using (MySqlConnection cnn = new MySqlConnection(connectionString))
{
string likvidavimas = string.empty;
if (pas == "Table1")
{
likvidavimas = "DELETE FROM [Table1] WHERE ID=#ID";
}
else if (pas == "Table2")
{
likvidavimas = "DELETE FROM [Table2] WHERE ID=#ID";
}
likvidavimas.Parameters.AddWithValue("#ID", ID);
cnn.Open();
using (MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand(likvidavimas, cnn))
{
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
}
Also, I always suggest using using to help clean up your resources at the end of execution. Not sure what MySqlCommand will be, but if it is IDisposable I'd say wrap it as well.

multiple queries on 1 button click

I want to perform 2 queries in one button click. I tried the
string query = "first query";
query+="second query";
But this didn't work it shows error.
I have now created 2 separate connections like below:
try
{
SqlConnection conn1 = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionStringDatabase"].ConnectionString);
//open connection with database
conn1.Open();
//query to select all users with teh given username
SqlCommand com1 = new SqlCommand("insert into artikulli (tema,abstrakti, kategoria_id, keywords ) values (#tema, #abstrakti, #kategoria, #keywords)", conn1);
// comand.Parameters.AddWithValue("#id", iD);
com1.Parameters.AddWithValue("#tema", InputTitle.Value);
com1.Parameters.AddWithValue("#abstrakti", TextareaAbstract.Value);
com1.Parameters.AddWithValue("#kategoria", DropdownCategory.Value);
com1.Parameters.AddWithValue("#keywords", InputTags.Value);
//execute queries
com1.ExecuteNonQuery();
conn1.Close();
if (FileUploadArtikull.HasFile)
{
int filesize = FileUploadArtikull.PostedFile.ContentLength;
if (filesize > 4194304)
{
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "popup", "alert('Maximumi i madhesise eshte 4MB');", true);
}
else
{
string filename = "artikuj/" + Path.GetFileName(FileUploadArtikull.PostedFile.FileName);
SqlConnection conn2 = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionStringDatabase"].ConnectionString);
SqlCommand com2 = new SqlCommand("insert into artikulli(path) values ('" + filename + "')", conn2);
//open connection with database
conn2.Open();
com2.ExecuteNonQuery();
FileUploadArtikull.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~/artikuj\\" + FileUploadArtikull.FileName));
Response.Redirect("dashboard.aspx");
}
}
else
{
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "popup", "alert('Ju nuk keni perzgjedhur asnje file');", true);
}
}
But the problem is that only the second query is performed and the firs is saved as null in database

In your case, there is no reason to open two connections. In addition, the C# language has evolved, so I recommend using the power given by the new language constructs (using, var).
Here is an improved version that should work assuming that the values you bind to your parameters are valid:
try
{
using(var connection = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionStringDatabase"].ConnectionString))
{
//open connection with database
connection.Open();
//query to select all users with teh given username
using(var command1 = new SqlCommand("insert into artikulli (tema,abstrakti, kategoria_id, keywords ) values (#tema, #abstrakti, #kategoria, #keywords)", connection))
{
command1.Parameters.AddWithValue("#tema", InputTitle.Value);
command1.Parameters.AddWithValue("#abstrakti", TextareaAbstract.Value);
command1.Parameters.AddWithValue("#kategoria", DropdownCategory.Value);
command1.Parameters.AddWithValue("#keywords", InputTags.Value);
//execute first query
command1.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
//build second query
string filename = "artikuj/" + Path.GetFileName(FileUploadArtikull.PostedFile.FileName);
using(SqlCommand command2 = new SqlCommand("insert into artikulli(path) values (#filename)", connection))
{
//add parameters
command2.Parameters.AddWithValue("#filename", filename);
//execute second query
command2.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
}
}
//TODO: add some exception handling
//simply wrapping code in a try block has no effect without a catch/finally

Try below code, No need to open the connection twice
string query1 = "insert into artikulli (tema,abstrakti, kategoria_id, keywords ) values (#tema, #abstrakti, #kategoria, #keywords)";
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionStringDatabase"].ConnectionString);
SqlCommand com1= new SqlCommand(query1, conn);
com1.Parameters.AddWithValue("#tema", InputTitle.Value);
com1.Parameters.AddWithValue("#abstrakti", TextareaAbstract.Value);
com1.Parameters.AddWithValue("#kategoria", DropdownCategory.Value);
com1.Parameters.AddWithValue("#keywords", InputTags.Value);
string query2 = "insert into artikulli(path) values ('" + filename + "')", conn);
comm.ExecuteNonQuery();
comm.CommandText = query2;
comm.ExecuteScalar();

How do I connect to a database and loop over a recordset in C#?

What's the simplest way to connect and query a database for a set of records in C#?

#Goyuix -- that's excellent for something written from memory.
tested it here -- found the connection wasn't opened. Otherwise very nice.
using System.Data.OleDb;
...
using (OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection())
{
conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=yourServername\\yourInstance;Initial Catalog=databaseName;Integrated Security=SSPI;";
using (OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand())
{
conn.Open();
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.CommandText = "Select * from yourTable";
using (OleDbDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader())
{
while (dr.Read())
{
Console.WriteLine(dr["columnName"]);
}
}
}
}

Very roughly and from memory since I don't have code on this laptop:
using (OleDBConnection conn = new OleDbConnection())
{
conn.ConnectionString = "Whatever connection string";
using (OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand())
{
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.CommandText = "Select * from CoolTable";
using (OleDbDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader())
{
while (dr.Read())
{
// do something like Console.WriteLine(dr["column name"] as String);
}
}
}
}

That's definitely a good way to do it. But you if you happen to be using a database that supports LINQ to SQL, it can be a lot more fun. It can look something like this:
MyDB db = new MyDB("Data Source=...");
var q = from db.MyTable
select c;
foreach (var c in q)
Console.WriteLine(c.MyField.ToString());

This is an alternative way (DataReader is faster than this one):
string s = "";
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("Server=192.168.1.1;Database=master;Connect Timeout=30;User ID=foobar;Password=raboof;");
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT TOP 5 name, dbid FROM sysdatabases", conn);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
da.Fill(dt);
for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++)
{
s += dt.Rows[i]["name"].ToString() + " -- " + dt.Rows[i]["dbid"].ToString() + "\n";
}
MessageBox.Show(s);

If you are intending on reading a large number of columns or records it's also worth caching the ordinals and accessing the strongly-typed methods, e.g.
using (DbDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader()) {
if (dr.Read()) {
int idxColumnName = dr.GetOrdinal("columnName");
int idxSomethingElse = dr.GetOrdinal("somethingElse");
do {
Console.WriteLine(dr.GetString(idxColumnName));
Console.WriteLine(dr.GetInt32(idxSomethingElse));
} while (dr.Read());
}
}

If you are querying a SQL Server database (Version 7 and up) you should replace the OleDb classes with corresponding classes in the System.Data.SqlClient namespace (SqlConnection, SqlCommand and SqlDataReader) as those classes have been optimized to work with SQL Server.
Another thing to note is that you should 'never' select all as this might lead to unexpected results later on if you add or remove columns to this table.

I guess, you can try entity framework.
using (SchoolDBEntities ctx = new SchoolDBEntities())
{
IList<Course> courseList = ctx.GetCoursesByStudentId(1).ToList<Course>();
//do something with courselist here
}

Charge the libraries
using MySql.Data.MySqlClient;
This is the connection:
public static MySqlConnection obtenerconexion()
{
string server = "Server";
string database = "Name_Database";
string Uid = "User";
string pwd = "Password";
MySqlConnection conect = new MySqlConnection("server = " + server + ";" + "database =" + database + ";" + "Uid =" + Uid + ";" + "pwd=" + pwd + ";");
try
{
conect.Open();
return conect;
}
catch (Exception)
{
MessageBox.Show("Error. Ask the administrator", "An error has occurred while trying to connect to the system", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
return conect;
}
}
