Change default SQL Connection object settings in VB.NET application RRS feed

  • Question

  • I'm having some issues with my application and am thinking it has to do with the default settings in the SQLconnection object.  it's changing the settings I have in the database and I want to change them.  Specifically, this is what is being sent to my SQL server:

    set quoted_identifier on
    set arithabort off
    set numeric_roundabort off
    set ansi_warnings on
    set ansi_padding on
    set ansi_nulls on
    set concat_null_yields_null on
    set cursor_close_on_commit off
    set implicit_transactions off
    set language us_english
    set dateformat mdy
    set datefirst 7
    set transaction isolation level read committed

    I want to turn the ansi settings to 'off'..  Where do I find these settings?

  • Hi ColtsFanMN,

    By my search, I don't find any way to change default SQL connection object setting, so you need to SET ansi_nulls off; manually.

    Public Shared Sub OpenAndSetArithAbort(MyConnection As SqlConnection)
    	Using _Command As SqlCommand = MyConnection.CreateCommand()
    		_Command.CommandType = CommandType.Text
    		_Command.CommandText = "SET ANSI_NULLS OFF;"
    
    		MyConnection.Open()
    
    		_Command.ExecuteNonQuery()
    	End Using
    
    	Return
    End Sub

    Here is the same thread that you can refer to:
