Update and select in one query

Question

I found similar questions with correct answers. But they\'re a bit complicated for me. I just want a simple basic statement.

I have:

string sql = \"         


        

Answer 1

You can't.

There's no convention in a SQL UPDATE statement for returning data. And vice versa -- a SELECT statement doesn't write information to a table.
