ADO.NET - .NET Interview Questions and Answers Page 3

.NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server - Provides access to Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 or later
version. It uses the System.Data.SqlClientnamespace.
.NET Framework Data Provider for OLE DB - Provides access to databases exposed by using OLE DB. It
uses the System.Data.OleDbnamespace.
.NET Framework Data Provider for ODBC - Provides access to databases exposed by using ODBC. It uses
the System.Data.Odbcnamespace.
.NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle - Provides access to Oracle database 8.1.7 or later versions. It
uses the System.Data.OracleClientnamespace.

15. Which architecture does Datasets follow?

Datasets follow the disconnected data architecture.

16. What is the role of the DataSetobject in ADO.NET?

One of the major component of ADO.NET is the DataSetobject, which always remains disconnected from the
database and reduces the load on the database.

17. What is a DataReaderobject?

The DataReaderobject helps in retrieving the data from a database in a forward-only, read-only mode. The base
class for all the DataReaderobjects is the DbDataReaderclass.
The DataReaderobject is returned as a result of calling the ExecuteReader()method of the Commandobject.
The DataReaderobject enables faster retrieval of data from databases and enhances the performance of .NET
applications by providing rapid data access speed. However, it is less preferred as compared to the DataAdapter
object because the DataReaderobject needs an Open connection till it completes reading all the rows of the
specified table.
An Open connection to read data from large tables consumes most of the system resources. When multiple client
applications simultaneously access a database by using the DataReaderobject, the performance of data retrieval
and other related processes is substantially reduced. In such a case, the database might refuse connections to
other .NET applications until other clients free the resources.

18. How can you identify whether or not any changes are made to the DataSetobject since it was last loaded?
The DataSetobject provides the following two methods to track down the changes:
The GetChanges()method - Returns the DataSetobject, which is changed since it was loaded or since
the AcceptChanges()method was executed.
The HasChanges()method - Indicates if any changes occurred since the DataSetobject was loaded or
after a call to the AcceptChanges()method was made.

If you want to revert all changes since the DataSetobject was loaded, use the RejectChanges()method.
