MySQL Client

MySQL Client provides a way to send SQL queries and commands to MySQL database, retrieve results, and manage database objects.

This activity can enable the below commands to execute in order to retrieve/insert/modify the database objects:

1. ExecuteNonQuery 

It can be used to execute INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements, and it returns the number of rows affected by these operations.

2. ExecuteDataset 

It can be used to retrieve information from a database, whether you use an inline SQL query or a stored procedure. It returns a DataSet object, which is a collection of one or more DataTable objects.

3. ExecuteScalar 

It can be used to retrieve a single value result from a database query or stored procedure. It returns this value as an Object type.

4. ExecuteBulkInsert 

It can be used as an efficient way to insert a large amount of data into a database. They are typically faster than individual insert statements because they minimize the overhead associated with each insertion.

1. This activity supports essential database operations, including Data Definition Language (DDL) and Data Manipulation Language (DML) operations.

2. It allows both inline SQL queries and the execution of stored procedures.

3. Additionally, it offers support for bulk insert functionality for efficiently handling large volumes of data.
