9.2.4 CommandType Property

The type of a Command object.
 

Return Values

Sets or returns one of the following CommandTypeEnum values:
 

Constant Description
adCmdText
 
Evaluates CommandText as a textual definition of a command.
 
adCmdTable
 
Evaluates CommandText as a table name.
 
adCmdStoredProc
 
Evaluates CommandText as a stored procedure.
 
adCmdUnknown
 
(Default) The type of command in the CommandText property is not known.
 

Remarks

Use the CommandType property to optimize evaluation of the CommandText property.
 
If the CommandType property value equals adCmdUnknown (the default value), you may experience diminished performance because ADO must make calls to the provider to determine if the CommandText property is an SQL statement, a stored procedure, or a table name. If you know what type of command you're using, setting the CommandType property instructs ADO to go directly to the relevant code. If the CommandType property does not match the type of command in the CommandText property, an error occurs when you call the Execute method.
 

Example

See ActiveConnection property.
