SQL NonQuery
Write down the Connection string and choose Provider name from the dropdown list (the database administrator should give you both).
SQL NonQuery executes the SQL statement (Insert, Update or Delete) or stored procedure. In this case SQL statement does not retrieve value, only performs operation. Type in the SQL statement or choose the stored procedure. You can declare the variable and put it in RowsAffected box in Properties window. This variable will store the number of rows that were inserted, deleted or updated.
