How to insert a sql table into a.net datatable?


Asked by Brooklynn Frost on Dec 02, 2021 SQL



I've read a lot of posts about inserting a DataTable into a SQL table, but is there an easy way to pull a SQL table into a .NET DataTable? Lots of ways. Use ADO.Net and use fill on the data adapter to get a DataTable: You can then get the data table out of the dataset.
Also,
Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and connect to the server where you'd like to add a new table. Expand the Tables Folder for the Appropriate Database. Once you've connected to the right SQL Server, expand the Databases folder and select the database where you'd like to add a new table.
Accordingly, To check if a table exists in SQL Server, you can use the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES table. You can use this table with an IF THEN clause do determine how your query responds whether or not a table exists. One of the more common uses I find for this when I need to create a table in a script.
Indeed,
Now, you should run that query into a Model either directly mapped to a table with Entity Framework via a DbSet, or with ModelBinding and passing a type into the query. You then have an IQueryable<T> which serves as your strongly typed replacement to DataTables. To be fair to this approach, for 99% of cases it a valid and better approach...
Besides,
The DataTable is a central object in the ADO.NET library. Other objects that use the DataTable include the DataSet and the DataView. When accessing DataTable objects, note that they are conditionally case sensitive.
