I need my program check if specified column exists in MS Access 2000 database, and if it doesn't - add it. I use .NET Framework 2.0 I tried to use oleDbConnection.GetSchema() method, but couldn't find column names in metadata (i'm really not a pro, huh) and any specification on msdn. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks for answers. Here is solution i used in my code:
bool flag = false; string[] restrictions = new string[] { null, null, mytable };
DataTable dtColumns = oleDbConnection1.GetOleDbSchemaTable(System.Data.OleDb.OleDbSchemaGuid.Columns, restrictions);
foreach (DataRow row in dtColumns.Rows)
{
if (mycolumnname==(string)row["COLUMN_NAME"]) flag = true;
}
This is code that is part of ao/r-mapper of mine. You cannot use it as is beacuse it depends on other classes, but I hope you get the picture.
Define restrictions like this
string[] restrictions = new string[] { null, null, tableName };
This retrieves the columns from a table
private void RetrieveColumnInfo(OleDbConnection cnn, TableSchema tableSchema,
string[] restrictions, Func<string, string> prepareColumnNameForMapping)
{
using (DataTable dtColumns =
cnn.GetOleDbSchemaTable(OleDbSchemaGuid.Columns, restrictions)) {
string AutoNumberColumn = RetrieveAutoNumberColumn(cnn, tableSchema);
foreach (DataRow row in dtColumns.Rows) {
var col = new TableColumn();
col.ColumnName = (string)row["COLUMN_NAME"];
try {
col.ColumnNameForMapping =
prepareColumnNameForMapping(col.ColumnName);
} catch (Exception ex) {
throw new UnimatrixExecutionException(
"Error in delegate 'prepareColumnNameForMapping'", ex);
}
col.ColumnAllowsDBNull = (bool)row["IS_NULLABLE"];
col.ColumnIsIdentity = col.ColumnName == AutoNumberColumn;
DbColumnFlags flags = (DbColumnFlags)(long)row["COLUMN_FLAGS"];
col.ColumnIsReadOnly =
col.ColumnIsIdentity ||
(flags & (DbColumnFlags.Write | DbColumnFlags.WriteUnknown)) ==
DbColumnFlags.None;
if (row["CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH"] != DBNull.Value) {
col.ColumnMaxLength = (int)(long)row["CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH"];
}
col.ColumnDbType = GetColumnDbType((int)row["DATA_TYPE"]);
col.ColumnOrdinalPosition = (int)(long)row["ORDINAL_POSITION"];
GetColumnDefaultValue(row, col);
tableSchema.ColumnSchema.Add(col);
}
}
}
