DB2Command ExecuteNonQuery Insert multiple rows problem
- by DB2 Nubie
I'm attempting to insert multiple rows into a DB2 database using C# code like this:
string query = "INSERT INTO TESTDB2.RG_Table (V,E,L,N,Q,B,S,P) values" +
"('lkjlkj', 'iouoiu', '2009-03-27 12:01:19', 'nnne', 'sdfdf', NULL, NULL, NULL)," +
"('lkjlk2', 'iuoiu2', '2009-03-27 12:01:19', 'nnne2', 'sddf2', NULL, NULL, NULL)";
DB2Command cmd = new DB2Command(query, this.transactionConnection, this.transaction);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
If I stop building the query string after the first set of values is included it executes without an error. Attempting to load multiple values using this method results in the following error:
Upload error : ERROR [42601] [IBM][DB2] SQL0104N An unexpected token "," was found following "". Expected tokens may include: "". SQLSTATE
=42601
The SQL syntax matches that which I have read elsewhere, such as http://stackoverflow.com/questions/452859/inserting-multiple-rows-in-a-single-sql-query and IBM's documentation gives this example:
cmd = conn.CreateCommand();
cmd.Transaction = trans;
cmd.CommandText =
"INSERT INTO company_a VALUES(5275, 'Sanders', 20, 'Mgr', 15, 18357.50), " +
"(5265, 'Pernal', 20, 'Sales', NULL, 18171.25), " +
"(5791, 'O''Brien', 38, 'Sales', 9, 18006.00)";
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
Can anyone explain what could account for this?
