	<summary>Represents a SQL statement to execute against a MySQL database. This class cannot be inherited.</summary>
	<remarks>
	<B>MySqlCommand</B> features the following methods for executing commands at a MySQL database:
	<list type="table">
		<listheader><term>Item</term><term>Description</term></listheader>
		<item>
			<term><a href="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand.ExecuteReader_overloads.html">ExecuteReader</a></term>
			<description>Executes commands that return rows.</description>
		</item>
		<item>
			<term><a href="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery.html">ExecuteNonQuery</a></term>
			<description>Executes commands such as SQL INSERT, DELETE, and UPDATE statements.</description>
		</item>
		<item>
			<term><a href="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlCommand.ExecuteScalar.html">ExecuteScalar</a></term>
			<description>Retrieves a single value (for example, an aggregate value) from a database.</description>
		</item>
	</list>

	You can reset the <B>CommandText</B> property and reuse the <B>MySqlCommand</B> 
	object. However, you must close the <A 
	href="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDataReader.html">MySqlDataReader</A> 
	before you can execute a new or previous command.

	If a <A href="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException.html">MySqlException</A> is 
	generated by the method executing a <B>MySqlCommand</B>, the <A 
	href="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection.html">MySqlConnection</A> 
	remains open.  It is the responsibility of the programmer to close the connection.
	
	<note>
	Prior versions of the provider used the '@' symbol to mark parameters in SQL.  This is incompatible
	with MySQL user variables, so the provider now uses the '?' symbol to locate parameters in SQL.  To
	support older code, you can set 'old syntax=yes' on your connection string.  If you do this, please
	be aware that an exception will not be throw if you fail to define a parameter that  you intended to
	use in your SQL.
	</note>
	</remarks>

	<example>
		The following example creates a <A href="frlrfsystemdatasqlclientsqlcommandclasstopic.htm">MySqlCommand</A> and 
		a <B>MySqlConnection</B>. The <B>MySqlConnection</B> is opened and set as the <A 
		href="frlrfsystemdatasqlclientsqlcommandclassconnectiontopic.htm">Connection</A> 
		for the <B>MySqlCommand</B>. The example then calls <A 
		href="frlrfsystemdatasqlclientsqlcommandclassexecutenonquerytopic.htm">ExecuteNonQuery</A>, 
		and closes the connection. To accomplish this, the <B>ExecuteNonQuery</B> is 
		passed a connection string and a query string that is a SQL INSERT 
		statement.
		<code lang="Visual Basic">
	Public Sub InsertRow(myConnectionString As String)
		&quot; If the connection string is null, use a default.
		If myConnectionString = "" Then
			myConnectionString = "Database=Test;Data Source=localhost;User Id=username;Password=pass"
		End If
		Dim myConnection As New MySqlConnection(myConnectionString)
		Dim myInsertQuery As String = "INSERT INTO Orders (id, customerId, amount) Values(1001, 23, 30.66)"
		Dim myCommand As New MySqlCommand(myInsertQuery)
		myCommand.Connection = myConnection
		myConnection.Open()
		myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
		myCommand.Connection.Close()
	End Sub
		</code>
		<code lang="C#">
	public void InsertRow(string myConnectionString) 
	{
		// If the connection string is null, use a default.
		if(myConnectionString == "") 
		{
			myConnectionString = "Database=Test;Data Source=localhost;User Id=username;Password=pass";
		}
		MySqlConnection myConnection = new MySqlConnection(myConnectionString);
		string myInsertQuery = "INSERT INTO Orders (id, customerId, amount) Values(1001, 23, 30.66)";

<ExecuteNonQuery>

		You can use ExecuteNonQuery to perform any type of database operation,

		<note>
			When calling ExecuteReader with the SingleRow behavior, you should be aware that using a <i>limit</i>

The following example creates a <see cref="MySqlCommand"/> and displays its parameters. 
To accomplish this, the method is passed a <see cref="MySqlConnection"/>, a query string 
that is a SQL SELECT statement, and an array of <see cref="MySqlParameter"/> objects.
<code lang="Visual Basic">
Public Sub CreateMySqlCommand(myConnection As MySqlConnection, _
mySelectQuery As String, myParamArray() As MySqlParameter)
    Dim myCommand As New MySqlCommand(mySelectQuery, myConnection)
    myCommand.CommandText = "SELECT id, name FROM mytable WHERE age=?age"
    myCommand.UpdatedRowSource = UpdateRowSource.Both
    myCommand.Parameters.Add(myParamArray)
    Dim j As Integer
    For j = 0 To myCommand.Parameters.Count - 1
       myCommand.Parameters.Add(myParamArray(j))
    Next j
    Dim myMessage As String = ""
    Dim i As Integer
    For i = 0 To myCommand.Parameters.Count - 1
        myMessage += myCommand.Parameters(i).ToString() &amp; ControlChars.Cr
    Next i
    Console.WriteLine(myMessage)
End Sub
</code>
<code lang="C#">
public void CreateMySqlCommand(MySqlConnection myConnection, string mySelectQuery, 
	MySqlParameter[] myParamArray) 
{
   MySqlCommand myCommand = new MySqlCommand(mySelectQuery, myConnection);
   myCommand.CommandText = "SELECT id, name FROM mytable WHERE age=?age";    
   myCommand.Parameters.Add(myParamArray);
   for (int j=0; j&lt;myParamArray.Length; j++)
   {
      myCommand.Parameters.Add(myParamArray[j]) ;
   }
   string myMessage = "";
   for (int i = 0; i &lt; myCommand.Parameters.Count; i++) 
   {
      myMessage += myCommand.Parameters[i].ToString() + "\n";
   }
   MessageBox.Show(myMessage);
}

</Parameters>

<Transaction>
	<summary>
		Gets or sets the <see cref="MySqlTransaction"/> within which the <see cref="MySqlCommand"/> executes.
	</summary>
	<value>
		The <see cref="MySqlTransaction"/>.  The default value is a null reference (<B>Nothing</B> in Visual Basic).
	</value>
	<remarks>
		You cannot set the <B>Transaction</B> property if it is already set to a 
		specific value, and the command is in the process of executing. If you set the 
		transaction property to a <see cref="MySqlTransaction"/> object that is not connected 
		to the same <see cref="MySqlConnection"/> as the <see cref="MySqlCommand"/> object, 
		an exception will be thrown the next time you attempt to execute a statement.
	</remarks>
</Transaction>

<UpdatedRowSource>
	<summary>
		Gets or sets how command results are applied to the <see cref="DataRow"/>
		when used by the <see cref="System.Data.Common.DbDataAdapter.Update"/> method 
		of the <see cref="System.Data.Common.DbDataAdapter"/>.
	</summary>
	<value>One of the <see cref="UpdateRowSource"/> values.</value>
	<remarks>
		<para>
		The default <see cref="System.Data.UpdateRowSource"/> value is 
		<B>Both</B> unless the command is automatically generated (as in the case of the 
		<see cref="MySqlCommandBuilder"/>), in which case the default is <B>None</B>.
		</para>
	</remarks>
</UpdatedRowSource>
