For UPDATE-statements I used to use

in another software package.
Switching to MyDAC however, this method seems to be not available. What is the correct method to run UPDATE statements after creating an SQL-String like

Code: Select all

 MyQuery1->SQL->Text = "UPDATE table SET column = 1 WHERE ...";

Being unsure now I tried MyQuery1->Execute(); but I'd appreciate to get some valid advice.

Description

Use Execute to execute the SQL statement on the server. If SQL statement is a query, Execute calls Open method.

Execute implicitly prepares the SQL statement by calling Prepare method if AutoPrepare option is set to True and the statement has not been prepared yet. To speed up  the performance in case of multiple Execute calls, an application should call Prepare before calling Execute method for the first time.

You can use MyQuery1.Execute for all SQL (Selec, Update, Delete, Create... )

Thx, Eduard. I was confused because for UPDATE queries MYSQL explicitely requires ExecSQL(). Execute() works in MyDAC for me now.
