So here I am building a new site that will estimate around 500,000 page views and 50,000 database transactions DAILY. I am currently working on a simple query that selects ONE row[column] from a database and returns the value to the rest of the methods. I have a simple thought or question I would like answered and thought this would be a place to bring it up.
Is the foreach loop required even if I know I will receive only 1 record back from the database?
That's it and to give you an example:
CS_Code.DataContext db = new CS_Code.DataContext(SQLStatementsCS.ConnectionStringID());
var query = from RN in db.Province
where RN.Name == Name
select RN.uid;
int value;
foreach (var uid in query)
{ value = uid; }
I think it is kind of pointless to create a foreach loop and use 3 lines of code to just get an ID out of the database. So let me know in the comments section if this is the only answer and I will point out the answer and give you a link back to a site of your choice.
Thanks guys and dolls.
