C#: SQL Query Builder Class

Question

Where can I find a good SQL Query builder class. I just need a simple class to build a SQL string and that is it. I will need it for C# and MySql. I really don\'t need anything

Answer 1

If you are using .NET 4 and don't mind using dynamics you can use Massive, created by Rob Conery, this single file Database requires no dlls, just drop the Massive.cs file and you ready to go.

You can use the Massive to build queries like this.

//grab all the products
var products = table.All();
//Or
var productsFour = table.All(columns: "ProductName as Name", where: "WHERE categoryID=@0",args: 4);

You can also run ad-hoc queries as needed:

var result = tbl.Query("SELECT * FROM Categories");
