Parameters

p DbParameter

The parameter.

row DataRow

The row.

statementType StatementType

DeriveParameters(NpgsqlCommand)

This method is responsible to derive the command parameter list with values obtained from function definition. It clears the Parameters collection of command. Also, if there is any parameter type which is not supported by Npgsql, an InvalidOperationException will be thrown. Parameters name will be parameter1, parameter2, ... for CommandType.StoredProcedure and named after the placeholder for CommandType.Text

public static void DeriveParameters(NpgsqlCommand command)

Parameters

command NpgsqlCommand

NpgsqlCommand whose function parameters will be obtained.
