System.Data.Common Namespace

.NET Framework 2.0

The System.Data.Common namespace contains classes shared by the.NET Framework data providers.

A .NET Framework data provider describes a collection of classes used to access a data source, such as a database, in the managed space. Supported providers include the .NET Framework Data Provider for ODBC, the .NET Framework Data Provider for OLEDB, the .NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle, and the .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server. The classes in System.Data.Common are intended to give developers a way to write ADO.NET code that will work against all .NET Framework data providers.

For conceptual information about how to use this namespace when programming with the.NET Framework, see Writing Provider Independent Code in ADO.NET.

  Class Description
Public class DataAdapter Represents a set of SQL commands and a database connection that are used to fill the DataSet and update the data source.
Public class DataColumnMapping Contains a generic column mapping for an object that inherits from DataAdapter. This class cannot be inherited.
Public class DataColumnMappingCollection Contains a collection of DataColumnMapping objects.
Public class DataTableMapping Contains a description of a mapped relationship between a source table and a DataTable. This class is used by a DataAdapter when populating a DataSet.
Public class DataTableMappingCollection A collection of DataTableMapping objects. This class cannot be inherited.
Public class DbCommand Represents an SQL statement or stored procedure to execute against a data source. Provides a base class for database-specific classes that represent commands.
Public class DbCommandBuilder Automatically generates single-table commands used to reconcile changes made to a DataSet with the associated database. This is an abstract class that can only be inherited.
Public class DbConnection Represents a connection to a database.
Public class DbConnectionStringBuilder Provides a base class for strongly typed connection string builders.
Public class DbDataAdapter Aids implementation of the IDbDataAdapter interface. Inheritors of DbDataAdapter implement a set of functions to provide strong typing, but inherit most of the functionality needed to fully implement a DataAdapter.
Public class DBDataPermission Enables a .NET Framework data provider to help ensure that a user has a security level adequate for accessing data.
Public class DBDataPermissionAttribute Associates a security action with a custom security attribute.
Public class DbDataReader Reads a forward-only stream of rows from a data source.
Public class DbDataRecord Implements IDataRecord and ICustomTypeDescriptor, and provides data binding support for DbEnumerator.
Public class DbDataSourceEnumerator  
Public class DbEnumerator Exposes the GetEnumerator method, which supports a simple iteration over a collection by a .NET Framework data provider.
Public class DbException The base class for all exceptions thrown on behalf of the data source.
Public class DbMetaDataCollectionNames Provides a list of constants for the well-known MetaDataCollections: DataSourceInformation, DataTypes, MetaDataCollections, ReservedWords, and Restrictions.
Public class DbMetaDataColumnNames Provides static values that are used for the column names in the MetaDataCollection objects contained in the DataTable. The DataTable is created by the GetSchema method.
Public class DbParameter Represents a parameter to a DbCommand and optionally, its mapping to a DataSet column.
Public class DbParameterCollection The base class for a collection of parameters relevant to a DbCommand.
Public class DbProviderConfigurationHandler  
Public class DbProviderFactories Represents a set of static methods for creating one or more instances of DbProviderFactory classes.
Public class DbProviderFactoriesConfigurationHandler  
Public class DbProviderFactory Represents a set of methods for creating instances of a provider's implementation of the data source classes.
Public class DbProviderSpecificTypePropertyAttribute Identifies which provider-specific property in the strongly typed parameter classes is to be used when setting a provider-specific type.
Public class DbTransaction The base class for a transaction.
Public class RowUpdatedEventArgs Provides data for the RowUpdated event of a .NET Framework data provider.
Public class RowUpdatingEventArgs Provides the data for the RowUpdating event of a .NET Framework data provider.
Public class SchemaTableColumn Describes the column metadata of the schema for a database table.
Public class SchemaTableOptionalColumn Describes optional column metadata of the schema for a database table.
  Enumeration Description
Public enumeration CatalogLocation Indicates the position of the catalog name in a qualified table name in a text command.
Public enumeration GroupByBehavior Specifies the relationship between the columns in a GROUP BY clause and the non-aggregated columns in the select-list of a SELECT statement.
Public enumeration IdentifierCase Specifies how identifiers are treated by the data source when searching the system catalog.
Public enumeration SupportedJoinOperators Specifies what types of Transact-SQL join statements are supported by the data source.
