I have many users in a MySQL table in a WinForms app. The user enters their username and password. My question is how can I check if there is a user with that username and password in the table in the database? Can I accomplish this with the IsDBNull()
method? I asked in other sites on the following link:

, but could not get an adequate answer there.
Thanks in advance!
IsDBNull(int)
method checks if a specific index you are reading from the database is null.
For example if your query was:
select 1,null;
IsDBNull(0)
would have returned false
(since the first field is 1
) while IsDBNull(1)
would have returned true
(since it returns a NULL
).
Note: It's also best practice to use this as a safety check before reading values from nullable columns.
Answering the question as asked...
I'm assuming you mean a MySQL version of SqlDataReader.IsDBNull(Int32) (IsDbNull(int) docs). It does what those docs say.
If you are reading a record from a data reader (something that implements IDataReader
) you can test if a particular field (/column) value is NULL by using 'IsDbNull(zeroIndexedColumnNumber)`
It's not much use for checking "that [the] username and password [are] in the table in the database". For that, use the suggestion from @TimSchemlter:
SELECT 1 FROM TblUser WHERE Username=@username AND Password=@password.
Then use MySqlCommand.ExecuteReader and check it's HasRows property

I want to collect two different tablodas from different valuesThis process takes too long because the number of records is too large How can I speed up the query?
