RE: retrieve two tables of data at a time by using data reader |
| This is absolutely true that theoretically you can't access two resultset concurrently using Datareader due to its nature of having the connection state with database and forward only traversing. However, if it is possible to have the data from two tables using some manipulation in the "Select" Query so that the desired resultset is achieved. If one uses Union/Union All, he/she has to be very careful regarding the select phrase in both sub-queries. |
