Build a Simple VCL Application for SQL Server データ

How to build a simple VCL Application to view SQL Server データ in RAD Studio using the CData ODBC Driver for SQL Server.

最終更新日:2023-06-12

Embarcadero RAD Studio provides a development environment for Delphi and C++Builder applications. With the CData ODBC Driver for SQL Server, you gain access to live SQL Server データ within RAD Studio, abstracting the data into tables, views, and stored procedures that can be used to retrieve and update SQL Server データ. This article will walk through connecting to SQL Server and creating a simple VCL application with the Form Designer.

Create a Connection to SQL Server データ

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

SQL Server 接続プロパティの取得・設定方法

Microsoft SQL Server への接続には以下を入力します。

  • Server: SQL Server が稼働するサーバー名。
  • User: SQL Server に接続するユーザー名。
  • Password: 接続するユーザーのパスワード。
  • Database: SQL Server データベース名。

Azure SQL Server およびAzure Data Warehouse への接続

Azure SQL Server およびAzure Data Warehouse には以下の接続プロパティを入力して接続します:

  • Server: Azure 上のサーバー。Azure ポータルの「SQL databases」(もしくは「SQL data warehouses」)-> データベースを選択 -> 「Overview」-> 「Server name」で確認が可能です。
  • User: Azure に認証するユーザー名。
  • Password: 認証するユーザーのパスワード。
  • Database: Azure ポータルでSQL databases (or SQL warehouses) ページに表示されるデータベース名。

You can then follow the steps below to use the Data Explorer to create a FireDAC connection to SQL Server データ.

  1. In a new VCL Forms application, expand the FireDAC node in the Data Explorer.
  2. Right-click the ODBC Data Source node in the Data Explorer.
  3. Click Add New Connection.
  4. Enter a name for the connection.
  5. In the FireDAC Connection Editor that appears, set the DataSource property to the name of the ODBC DSN for SQL Server.

Create VCL Applications with Connectivity to SQL Server データ

Follow the procedure below to start executing queries to SQL Server データ from a simple VCL application that displays the results of a query in a grid.

  1. Drop a TFDConnection component onto the form and set the following properties:

    • ConnectionDefName: Select the FireDAC connection to SQL Server データ.
    • Connected: Select True from the menu and, in the dialog that appears, enter your credentials.
  2. Drop a TFDQuery component onto the form and set the properties below:

    • Connection: Set this property to the TFDConnection component, if this component is not already specified.
    • SQL: Click the button in the SQL property and enter a query. For example:

      SELECT ShipName, Freight FROM Orders
    • Active: Set this property to true.
  3. Drop a TDataSource component onto the form and set the following property:

    • DataSet: In the menu for this property, select the name of the TFDQuery component.
  4. Drop a TDBGrid control onto the form and set the following property:

    • DataSource: Select the name of the TDataSource.
  5. Drop a TFDGUIxWaitCursor onto the form — this is required to avoid a run-time error.

You now have an executable application that displays the results of the SQL Query set in the TFDQuery object.
