MySQL is a fast, easy-to-use RDBMS being used for many small and big businesses. We can use MySQL with
C#, Java and many other languages. Here we will use C#.

ExecuteReader in your update query :o

Although the ExecuteNonQuery returns no rows, any output parameters or return values mapped
to parameters are populated with data. For UPDATE, INSERT, and DELETE statements, the return
value is the number of rows a ected by the command.

Never use plain text queries, Always use Parameter Queries.

Why did you not use odbc? And should you not use ExecuteNonQuery for the record insert and
update rather than executing the query using a reader? Also,what about using using?

Here's a best solution for deleting:

MySqlConnection conexaoDB = new

MySqlConnection("datasource=localhost;port=3306;username=root;password=root");

connectionDB.Open();

MyCommand = new MySqlCommand("DELETE FROM <dbsource>.<user> WHERE <someID>

= " + <someID>, connectionDB);
MyCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();

connectionDB.Close();
