How do I capture a response message from a database engine?

Specifically, I'm creating databases in MySQL using ASP.NET and want
to know if the CREATE DATABASE command was executed or if the
database was pre-existing and no action took place.

CommandString = "CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS my_database"

If I execute the string from the mysql> prompt-

it returns this message if the database was created:
Query OK, I row(s) affected (0.00 sec)

and this message if the database is preexisting:
Query OK, 0 row(s) affected (0.00 sec)

How do I capture that message in my page?

This is my first question here, so be gentle.

executenonquery  returns  an integer of records affected. Perhaps it will indicate sucess or failure of table create.

I wish I knew more about mySQL in this; maybe some of the mySQL types will speak up.


TRY
.executenonquery
CATCH ex1 as exception
trace.warn("","",ex1)
END TRY

According to the docs, ExecuteNonQuery only returns  a value other
than -1 on UPDATE, INSERT and DELETE statements. However, your kind
reply stimulated my problem-solving brain cell (I only have one left)
when you wrote " ... returns an integer of records affected."

I "discovered", then used the DataReader.RecordsAffected property.
I'm using the Microsoft.Data.Odbc classes for this exercise, so:


Dim myExecuteQuery as String = "CREATE database  IF NOT exists  my_database"
myConnection.Open()
Dim myCommand As New OdbcCommand(myExecuteQuery, myConnection)

'Need to use a DataReader before accessing the RecordsAffected property

Dim myDataResults as OdbcDataReader
myDataResults = myCommand.ExecuteReader()
myDataResults.Read()
myDataResults.Close()

'After the DataReader is closed, the RecordsAffected property is set.

DbMessage.Text = myDataResults.RecordsAffected()
If DbMessage.Text = "0"
formMessage.Text = "Database already exists."
Else If DbMessage.Text = "1"
formMessage.Text = "Database created."
End If

MyConnection.Close()

dim intrecs=myDataResults.RecordsAffected()
formMessage.Text = switch(intrecs=0,"Database exists.",intrecs=1,"Database created.")

or better yet

dim intrecs=myDataResults.RecordsAffected()
formMessage.Text = choose(intrecs+1,"Database exists.","Database created.")

This is why everyone should own "VB.net in a Nutshell" to learn VB.net syntax well
