Question

I’m looking for the most efficient way to handle a mysql string statement in c#.
The following psuedocode example shows a @ string literal where I have 2 variables inside the string that need to be substituted in with the variable contents.
Is there an efficient and simple way in c# to do this?

string region = "northwest";
string market = "Canada";

string stm = @"
    select distinct(position)
      from plan 
     where region = 'region'
       and market = 'market'
";

Answer 1

use parameters like:

string stm = @"
    select distinct(position)
      from plan 
     where region = @region
       and market = @market
";


MySqlCommand cmd = new MySQLCommand(stm);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@region",regionvalue);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@market",marketvalue);
