Question

I want to check the syntax of a SQL query. I thought to do in preparing it, with DbCommand.Prepare method.

Unfortunately, no error or exception.

For example: SELECT * FORM table

Is there a way to check the syntax without executing the query ?

To make it perfect, it has to work on SQL Server, Oracle and IBM DB2

Answer 1

For SQL Server, you can use SET FMTONLY and/or SET NOEXEC

set fmtonly on
go
SELECT * FORM table
go
set fmtonly off
