Use 2 different databases

[shapper]

Hello,

I have created a function which creates a DataTable from a Database.

However, I want to be able to use an Access or aSQL database.

Do I need to create 2 complete different functions?

The method is the same, only the types change.

Here is my code:

' Define connection
Dim connection As New
SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString.ToString)

' Define command
Dim command As New SqlClient.SqlCommand
With command
.CommandText = "GetRecords"
.Connection = connection
.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
End With

' Add command parameters
With command.Parameters
.Add(New SqlClient.SqlParameter("@Value", Value))
End With

connection.Open()
...
Create DataTable
...
connection.Close()

Thanks,

Miguel

Yes, but not with SQLClient (sql server only)

Consider using the OLEDB methods
