Build a Simple VCL Application for Impala データ

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

Create a Connection to Impala 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.

Apache Impala に接続するには、Server、Port、およびProtocolVersion を設定してください。オプションでデフォルトのDatabase を指定することもできます。 NOSASL、LDAP、またはKerberos といった別の方法で接続するには、オンラインのヘルプドキュメントを参照してください。

You can then follow the steps below to use the Data Explorer to create a FireDAC connection to Impala 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 Impala.

Create VCL Applications with Connectivity to Impala データ

Follow the procedure below to start executing queries to Impala 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 Impala 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 City, CompanyName FROM Customers WHERE Country = 'US'
   • 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.
