Tiburon: VCL DB Unicode Application with InterBase 2007
Everybody is talking about Tiburon (the next Delphi Version) and the new Unicode Support. Today i play for you with the Unicode Support and Interbase 2007. So let us quick build a InterBase Database and a Browser in Unicode.
First i create a new database in the InterBase with the following Script. I use in this example the ServerCharSet UTF8.
/******************************************************************************/
/* Generated 2008.02.19 17.07.2008 16:21:29 */
/******************************************************************************/
SET SQL DIALECT 3;
SET NAMES UTF8;
CREATE DATABASE ‘YourIpOurComputerName:C:\unicode_data.ib’
USER ‘SYSDBA’ PASSWORD ‘masterkey’
PAGE_SIZE 8192
DEFAULT CHARACTER SET UTF8;
/******************************************************************************/
/* Tables */
/******************************************************************************/
CREATE TABLE TBL_TEST (
ID INTEGER NOT NULL,
TEXT VARCHAR(100)
);
/******************************************************************************/
/* Primary Keys */
/******************************************************************************/
ALTER TABLE TBL_TEST ADD CONSTRAINT PK_TBL_TEST PRIMARY KEY (ID);
After this i create in Tiburon a new VCL Application.
After this i create a new shortcut in the Datanbase Manager
Give a Name for the new InterBase Connection
Modify the Connection for the Parameters
Cause we like to use Interbase with DBXpress we add in the uses are the Unit DBXInterbase.
Now we are adding on the TForm:
– SQLConnection
– SimpleDataSet
– DataSource
– DBNavigator
– DBGrid
On SQLConnection we change in the Objecinspector the Properties
– ConnectionName -> MyUnicode
– add in Params the servercharset UTF8
– set LoginPromt to False (if you like)
On your SimpleDataSet1 change the Properties:
– SQLConnection to your SQLConnection1
– DataSet->CommandText to select * from TBL_TEST
– Active-> True
Change also
– DataSource1: DataSet -> SimpleDataSet1
– DBNavigator1 & DBGrid 1: DataSource -> DataSource1
To automatic update to the InterBase Database add in the SimpleDataSet1 Event OnPost the following code:
Now let us save all, compile and start:
Ok let’s add some text. To get some fun characters (unicode) you can start the windows Program CharMap
You see the VCL works fine with the Combination Unicode and InterBase 2007.
Great Works CodeGear!!!
