I am currently trying to implement SQL into a project with Unity3D. So far, I was able to do "normal" UPDATE, ADD, DELETE, DROP, ALTER, INSERT".

Trying to go a step further, I am trying to insert prepared statements, using this link as a guide

Here is my code :

SqlConnection sqlConnection = new SqlConnection(Connection.connectionString)

sqlConnection.Open();



SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(null, sqlConnection);

cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO IngredientTypes (Name) VALUES (@name)";



SqlParameter nameParam = new SqlParameter("@name", SqlDbType.Text, 155);

nameParam.Value = Name;

cmd.Parameters.Add(nameParam);



cmd.Prepare();

cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

My table looks like so :

CREATE TABLE IngredientTypes

(

    IngredientTypeID INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,

    Name VARCHAR(155)

);

I get this error :

SQLException : Incorrect systax near '1'.

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.ErrorHandler (System.Object sender, Mono.Data.Tds. Protocol.TdsInternalErrorMessageEventArgs e)

Help please? Thank you in advance.. I can't find where I did wrong.

You can reduce that code quite a bit with no loss of function, and even some important improvements (for example, this will close the connection even if an exception is thrown):

using (var sqlConnection = new SqlConnection(Connection.connectionString))

using (var cmd = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO IngredientTypes (Name) VALUES (@name)",  sqlConnection))

{

    cmd.Parameters.Add("@name", SqlDbType.VarChar, 155).Value = Name;

    sqlConnection.Open();

    cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

}

I'm not sure what's causing that exception in your existing code, though, because 1 is not used anywhere in that query. I suspect the problem has something to do with SqlDbType.Text, since that is not the correct type to use with a VarChar column, but it seems just as likely there's code somewhere we haven't seen yet that's changing your SQL command text.

Definitely the Prepare() method in your link is not needed for Sql Server. It's inherited here from DbCommand, where it's included because it's an important part of the API for some other databases, but Sql Server has handled this automatically for more than 10 years now.

SqlDbType.Text Is not the same as varchar. I don’t believe Text types have a length you specify.

Could you try below? Using the "using" structure is safer for sql connections by the way, the connection automatically closes when your process is done.

using (SqlConnection sqlConnection = new SqlConnection(Connection.connectionString))

    {

        SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO IngredientTypes (Name) VALUES (@name)", connection);

        command.Parameters.Add("@name", SqlDbType.Varchar, 155);

        command.Parameters["@name"].Value = Name; //make sure Name is string.



        try

        {

            sqlConnection.Open();

            command.ExecuteNonQuery();

        }

        catch (Exception ex)

        {

            Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);

        }

    }

I tried your code exactly as it is and found no issue. Though there are few compilation errors (missing ; in line 1 and Name variable should be coming as parameter) but I am sure you know that. If you have posted your table structure and code exactly the same as you have in your project, then there is no problem in this code.
