Purpose

The type of a Command object.

 

Prototype

ASSIGN CommandType ( lCmdType AS LONG  )  AS LONG PASCAL CLASS AdoCommand

 

Argument(s)

lCmdTypeOne of the CommandType Enum Values

 

 

Return

LONG

 

Description

Sets one of the CommandTypeEnum values:

 

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.
