Re: Help Needed to Unravel a Query Response

[Bob Anonymous]

Fernando,

Thank you very much! (The MySql documentation is really quite good, but I don't know my way around in it yet so it's not always easy to find what I need.)

For the benefit of others who may stumble across this thread ...

The "as MySum" and/or "as Description" seemed to introduce a syntax error which I could not figure out. But I dug around for just a few minutes in that excellent reference Fernando provided and came across this approach:

while (rdr.Read())
{
Console.WriteLine(rdr[0]+" -- "+rdr[1]);
}
rdr.Close();

(where rdr is a MySqlDataReader)

and that did the trick. I can now see the column values!

Fernando, thank you again. I am very grateful. Bob
