How can I execute this sql statement with .NET and Dapper.NET?

.net c# dapper

Question

I have the following sql query:

BEGIN TRAN;

UPDATE [dbo].[Foo] SET StatusType = 2 WHERE FooId = xxx;
INSERT INTO [dbo].[FooNotes] (FooId, Note) VALUES ('blah....', xxx);

ROLLBACK TRAN;

and this is for a list of id's. eg.

var fooIds = new [] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 };

so then I expect this..

BEGIN TRAN;

UPDATE [dbo].[Foo] SET StatusType = 2 WHERE FooId = 1;
INSERT INTO [dbo].[FooNotes] (FooId, Note) VALUES ('blah....', 1);

UPDATE [dbo].[Foo] SET StatusType = 2 WHERE FooId = 2;
INSERT INTO [dbo].[FooNotes] (FooId, Note) VALUES ('blah....', 2);

UPDATE [dbo].[Foo] SET StatusType = 2 WHERE FooId = 3;
INSERT INTO [dbo].[FooNotes] (FooId, Note) VALUES ('blah....', 3);

ROLLBACK TRAN;

Can this be done with Dapper?

NOTE: If the TRAN makes this hard, I can drop that.

you can do something like this:

using (var connection = new SqlConnection(yourConnectionString))
{
    connection.Open();
    using (var tx = connection.BeginTransaction())
    {
        foreach (var fooId in fooIds)
        {
            connection.Execute("UPDATE [dbo].[Foo] SET StatusType = 2 WHERE FooId = @id; INSERT INTO [dbo].[FooNotes] (FooId, Note) VALUES ('blah....', @id);", new {id = fooId}, tx);
        }

        tx.Rollback();
    }
}

Dapper has only minimal support for altering queries internally (it supports list expansion for IN, literal injection, and some OPTION/UNKNOWN tweaks. You have two options here:

use StringBuilder to create a single large operation that you can execute (this can be parameterized via a dictionary)
move the transaction to ADO.NET rather than TSQL

For the latter, perhaps something like:

using(var tran = conn.BeginTransaction())
{
    try
    {
        conn.Execute(@"
UPDATE [dbo].[Foo] SET StatusType = 2 WHERE FooId = @id;
INSERT INTO [dbo].[FooNotes] (FooId, Note) VALUES ('blah....', @id);",
            fooIds.Select(id => new { id }), transaction: tran);
    }
    finally // in this example, we always want to rollback
    {
        tran.Rollback();
    }
}
