Question

Iam fairly new to SQLClient and all, and iam having a problem with my SQL tables..when ever i run my code, the data, rather than getting updated, attaches itself to the already existing records in the tables..here’s my code

SqlConnection conneciones = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
SqlCommand cmd;
conneciones.Open();
//put values into SQL DATABASE Table 1
for (int ok = 0; ok < CleanedURLlist.Length; ok++)
{
     cmd = new SqlCommand("insert into URL_Entries values('" + CleanedURLlist[ok] + "' , '" + DateTime.Now + "' , '" + leak + "' )", conneciones);
     cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
conneciones.Dispose();

Take a look at these functions, i hope you understand better on update , insert and delete functions..

Code snippets for reading, inserting, updating and deleting a records using asp.net and c# and sql server database
