Tutorials ODP.NETNow, let us add more than one data table into a dataset The following code retrieves a list of department details into a data table named Departments and another list of employee details into a data table named Employees:
From the above highlighted code, you can easily observe that we are retrieving two different result sets (identified by Departments and Employees) into the same dataset. The following code fragment creates the Departments data table:
adp = New OracleDataAdapter("SELECT deptno, dname,
loc FROM Dept", cn)
adp.Fill(ds, "Departments")
adp.Dispose()
The following code fragment creates the Employees data table:
adp = New OracleDataAdapter("SELECT empno, ename, job,
mgr, hiredate, sal, comm, deptno FROM Emp", cn)
adp.Fill(ds, "Employees")
adp.Dispose()
Those two result sets are automatically created as two data tables within the same dataset. Once the dataset is populated, we can present them with two different grids (two different methods) as follows:
Me.DataGridView1.DataSource = ds
Me.DataGridView1.DataMember = "Departments"
Me.DataGridView2.DataSource = ds.Tables("Employees")
The output for this code would look similar to the following figure:
