ExecuteNonQuery returns -1 even if rows are successfully inserted

  • I have am using ExecuteNonQuery to get number of rows inserted But i found that it returns -1 even though rows are successfully inserted.

    I am using simple insert statement.

    ExecuteUpdtCmdWithRetry = Cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

    here Cmd is a parameter which contains the sql insert statement.

    The ExecuteNonquery return proper value.But sometime returns -1 and then it keeps showing -1 if any number of insert is done. but all values successfully inserted.Only problem with ExecuteNonQuery returning -1.

    This error comes only to a single database. For all other database in that server ExecuteNonquery returns proper value.So what may be the problem that causes this?

    It is impossible to determine based on what you posted. -1 is returned if the statement is not an insert, update or delete. It can also return -1 if there is a rolled back transaction.

    You said this happens on an insert. Can you start by posting the CommandText? There are a number of reasons this could happen.

  • The query i have used is insert into [customer]([Id]) values('531067')

    And another one is update statement

    update [customer] set [Call attnd]='ses' where Id = 531067 and (Ltrim(Rtrim(cast([Call attnd] as varchar(max)))) = '' or Ltrim(Rtrim(cast([Call attnd] as varchar(max)))) is null)

  • Here is complete details on what problem i am facing

    Problem with “ExecuteNonQuery’”:

    We are using VB.Net & in the below code sample ‘ExecuteNonQuery’ method returns -1 while executing Insert & update statements even though actually rows have been affected.

    Public Function ExecuteUpdtCmdWithRetry(ByVal Msfgmain As AxMSFlexGridLib.AxMSFlexGrid, ByVal Cmd As DbCommand) As Integer

    ExecuteUpdtCmdWithRetry = -1

    Dim AttemptCnt As Integer = 1

    Dim QueryString As String = Cmd.CommandText

    Do While AttemptCnt <= 3

    Try

    ExecuteUpdtCmdWithRetry = Cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

    Exit Do

    Catch ErrorObj As Exception

    MsgBox(Err.description)

    End Try

    Loop

    End Function

    Sample query that are set to the command:

    Insert into [customer]([Id]) values('531067')

    Update [customer] set [Phone no]='09966949119' where Id='531067'

    For first few updates/insert ‘ExecuteNonQuery’ return proper value, later on it returns -1 & it repeats continuously. Once the program is closed & opened again it works properly for few updates/inserts.

    Below change done in the code before the command ‘ExecuteNonQuery’, now the return value of ‘ExecuteNonQuery’ is proper.

    Cmd.CommandText = "set nocount off; " & Cmd.CommandText

    When ‘set Nocount off’ is done then the result is proper. Why is this happening? Whether ‘Nocount’ is set ‘on’ in-between?

    We have 2 SQL Server installed in different PC. Error comes only for the database kept in one server (other database in server have very few inserts. We haven’t checked them) & in the other server Insert statement never returned -1. (Update statements we have not checked)

    We have tried shifting of data to new database & new table in the same server but still the error persists. Initially when this error started we found some errors while running ‘DBcheck’ command which have been repaired immediately, but still the error persists.

  • Do you have any triggers on the customer table?

  • No. I don't have any triggers in customer table.
