Gets or sets the SQL string that the System.Web.UI.WebControls.SqlDataSourceView object uses to retrieve data from the underlying database.

Documentation for this section has not yet been entered.
Remarks
Because different database products use different varieties of SQL, the syntax of the SQL string depends on the current ADO.NET provider being used, which is identified by the SqlDataSource.ProviderName property. If the SQL string is a parameterized query or command, the placeholder of the parameter also depends on the ADO.NET provider being used. For example, if the provider is the System.Data.SqlClient, which is the default provider for the System.Web.UI.WebControls.SqlDataSource class, the placeholder of the parameter is '@parameterName'. However, if the provider is set to the System.Data.Odbc or System.Data.OleDb, the placeholder of the parameter is '?'. For more information on parameterized SQL queries and commands, see Using Parameters with the SqlDataSource Control.
The SqlDataSourceView.SelectCommand property can be an SQL string or the name of a stored procedure, if the data source supports stored procedures.
It is more secure to use a stored procedure than a SQL statement for the SqlDataSourceView.SelectCommand property.
The value of the SqlDataSourceView.SelectCommand property is stored in view state.
