Connect to BigQuery Data from PowerBuilder


This article demonstrates how to access BigQuery data from Appeon PowerBuilder using the CData ADO.NET Provider for BigQuery.

This article demonstrates using the CData ADO.NET Provider for BigQuery in PowerBuilder, showcasing the ease of use and compatibility of these standards-based controls across various platforms and development technologies that support Microsoft .NET, including Appeon PowerBuilder.

This article shows how to create a basic PowerBuilder application that uses the CData ADO.NET Provider for BigQuery to perform reads and writes.

  1. In a new WPF Window Application solution, add all the Visual Controls needed for the connection properties. Below is a typical connection string:

    DataSetId=MyDataSetId;ProjectId=MyProjectId;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH

    Google uses the OAuth authentication standard. To access Google APIs on behalf of individual users, you can use the embedded credentials or you can register your own OAuth app.

    OAuth also enables you to use a service account to connect on behalf of users in a Google Apps domain. To authenticate with a service account, you will need to register an application to obtain the OAuth JWT values.

    In addition to the OAuth values, you will need to specify the DatasetId and ProjectId. See the "Getting Started" chapter of the help documentation for a guide to using OAuth.

  2. Add the DataGrid control from the .NET controls.
  3. Configure the columns of the DataGrid control. Below are several columns from the Account table: <DataGrid AutoGenerateColumns="False" Margin="13,249,12,14" Name="datagrid1" TabIndex="70" ItemsSource="{Binding}"> <DataGrid.Columns> <DataGridTextColumn x:Name="idColumn" Binding="{Binding Path=Id}" Header="Id" Width="SizeToHeader" /> <DataGridTextColumn x:Name="nameColumn" Binding="{Binding Path=OrderName}" Header="OrderName" Width="SizeToHeader" /> ... </DataGrid.Columns> </DataGrid>
  4. Add a reference to the CData ADO.NET Provider for BigQuery assembly.

Connect the DataGrid

Once the visual elements have been configured, you can use standard ADO.NET objects like Connection, Command, and DataAdapter to populate a DataTable with the results of an SQL query:

System.Data.CData.GoogleBigQuery.GoogleBigQueryConnection conn conn = create System.Data.CData.GoogleBigQuery.GoogleBigQueryConnection(connectionString) System.Data.CData.GoogleBigQuery.GoogleBigQueryCommand comm comm = create System.Data.CData.GoogleBigQuery.GoogleBigQueryCommand(command, conn) System.Data.DataTable table table = create System.Data.DataTable System.Data.CData.GoogleBigQuery.GoogleBigQueryDataAdapter dataAdapter dataAdapter = create System.Data.CData.GoogleBigQuery.GoogleBigQueryDataAdapter(comm) dataAdapter.Fill(table) datagrid1.ItemsSource=table.DefaultView

The code above can be used to bind data from the specified query to the DataGrid.
