SqlCommand to Sql statement

18. July 2010 22:31 by Jerry in Old blog posts

Recently I have a requirement that log down the message when an error occurs on the server. If the error was caused by execution of SQL statement, log that as well.

It came to a problem that when the SQL is carried by a SqlCommand object, there is no any built-in function to get back the SQL statement in a string format. I wrote a small VB module to do the job.

The primary idea is going through the CommandText, record every place (replace index) that need to replace the parameter name (starts with “@"), and then replace them.

 

The code is written in VB.NET, but it should not be difficult to convert to C# by using http://www.developerfusion.com/tools/convert/vb-to-csharp/

Usage:

smply call SqlCommandToSql and pass in a SqlCommand object.

Dim cmd As New SqlClient.SqlCommand()
cmd.CommandText = "update abcd set a=@a,b=@ab, c=@abc where cd=@a"
cmd.Parameters.Add("@a", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = "a@aa"
cmd.Parameters.Add("@ab", SqlDbType.Bit).Value = False
cmd.Parameters.Add("@abc", SqlDbType.DateTime).Value = Now
MsgBox(SqlCommandToSql(cmd)) 

 

source code:

Dim value As String = ""

'it should throw an error if an parameter had not set value
