SQL NonQuery
Click upon the word Configure (Connection). It opens Configure Database Connection window. Enter the Connection string and Provider name (the database administrator should give you both).
Click upon the word Edit (Command). It opens the Edit Command window. SQL NonQuery executes the SQL statement (Insert, Update or Delete) or stored procedure. In this case SQL statement does not retrieve value, only performs operation. Type in the SQL statement or choose the stored procedure. You can declare the variable and put it in RowsAffected box in Properties window. This variable will store the number of rows that were inserted, deleted or updated.
