I like that!

string SQL="UPDATE tableName SET anInt=@anInt, aString=@aString, anotherInt=@anInt, aDate=@aDate WHERE ..."
OleDbCommand cmd=new OleDbCommand(...);
cmd.Parameters.Add("@anInt", OleDbType.Int).Value=12;
cmd.Parameters.Add("@aString", OleDbType.VarChar).Value="abc";
// no need to give the third parameter as it re-uses the first one
cmd.Parameters.Add("@aDate", OleDbType.Date).Value=DateTime.Today;
