Possible to view T-SQL syntax of a stored proc-based SqlCommand?
- by mconnley
Hello! I was wondering if anybody knows of a way to retrieve the actual T-SQL that is to be executed by a SqlCommand object (with a CommandType of StoredProcedure) before it executes...
My scenario involves optionally saving DB operations to a file or MSMQ before the command is actually executed. My assumption is that if you create a SqlCommand like the following:
Using oCommand As New SqlCommand("sp_Foo")
oCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
oCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Param1", "value1"))
oCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using
It winds up executing some T-SQL like:
EXEC sp_Foo @Param1 = 'value1'
Is that assumption correct? If so, is it possible to retrieve that actual T-SQL somehow? My goal here is to get the parsing, etc. benefits of using the SqlCommand class since I'm going to be using it anyway. Is this possible? Am I going about this the wrong way? Thanks in advance for any input!
