   name : String) : int;

Parameters

• name
  The name of the column.

Return Value

The zero-based column ordinal.

Implements

IDataRecord.GetOrdinal

Exceptions

Remarks

GetOrdinal performs a case-sensitive lookup first. If it fails, a second case-insensitive search is made.

Because ordinal-based lookups are more efficient than named lookups, it is inefficient to call GetOrdinal within a loop. Save time by calling GetOrdinal once and assigning the results to an integer variable for use within the loop.

Requirements
