This property indicates whether the OracleDataReader has one or more rows.

Declaration

// C#
public override bool HasRows {get;}

Return Value

bool

Remarks

HasRows indicates whether or not the OracleDataReader has any rows.

The value of HasRows does not change based on the row position. For example, even if the application has read all the rows from the result set and the next Read method invocation will return false, the HasRows property still returns true since the result set was not empty to begin with.

Rows are fetched to determine the emptiness of the OracleDataReader when HasRows property is accessed for the first time after the creation of the OracleDataReader object.

Example

// C#
 
using System;
using Oracle.DataAccess.Client; 
 
class HasRowsSample
{
  static void Main()
  {
    string constr = "User Id=scott;Password=tiger;Data Source=oracle";
    OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection(constr);
    con.Open();
 
    OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand(
      "select * from emp where empno = 9999", con);
 
    OracleDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
 
    if (!reader.HasRows)
      Console.WriteLine("The result set is empty.");
    else
      Console.WriteLine("The result set is not empty.");
 
    con.Dispose();
  }
}
