I was trying to see how to write a Console Appication in FreePascal that will connect to MySQL. I know how to do this in c, but thought it would be interesting to be able to do it in Pascal.
How should FConnection and FTransaction be declared or are the declared in a library somewhere? I have the following source code which is based on the web site http://wiki.freepascal.org/SqlDBHowto, but does not compile: Program TestMysql; Uses sqldb, mysql55conn; Var MyConnection: TSQLConnector; MyTransaction: TSQLTransaction; MyQuery: TSQLQuery; function GetQuery : TSQLQuery; var MyQuery : TSQLQuery; begin MyQuery := TSQLQuery.Create; MyQuery.Database := FConnection; MyQuery.Transaction := FTransaction; GetQuery := MyQuery; end; procedure CreateTransaction; begin MyTransaction := TSQLTransaction.Create; MyTransaction.Database := MyConnection; end; Procedure CreateConnection; Begin MyConnection := TSQLConnector.Create(nil); MyConnection.ConnectorType := 'MySQL 5.5'; MyConnection.Hostname := '127.0.0.1'; MyConnection.DatabaseName := 'MyDB'; MyConnection.UserName := 'MyUser'; MyConnection.Password := 'MyPassword'; End; Begin CreateConnection; CreateTransaction; MyQuery := GetQuery; MyQuery.SQL.Text := 'select ObjIdx, ObjCon from object' + 'Order By ObjCon, ObjIdx'; MyConnection.Open; MyQuery.Open; If MyConnection.Connected Then Begin While Not MyQuery.eof Do Begin WriteLn(MyQuery.FieldByName('ObjIdx').AsString, MyQuery.FieldByName('ObjCon').AsString); MyQuery.Next; End; End Else WriteLn('Failure'); MyQuery.Close MyConnection.Close; MyQuery.Free MyConnection.Free; MyTransaction.Free; End. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
