Build a Simple VCL Application for Azure Analysis Services データ

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

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 Azure Analysis Services, you gain access to live Azure Analysis Services データ within RAD Studio, abstracting the data into tables, views, and stored procedures that can be used to retrieve Azure Analysis Services データ. This article will walk through connecting to Azure Analysis Services and creating a simple VCL application with the Form Designer.

Create a Connection to Azure Analysis Services 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.

Azure Analysis Services(AAS)接続プロパティの取得・設定方法

接続するには、認証に加えて、Url プロパティを有効なAzure Analysis Services サーバー(例えばasazure://southcentralus.asazure.windows.net/server)に設定します。必要に応じて、Database プロパティを設定して、サーバー上のどのAzure データベースに接続するかを指定できます。

Azure Analysis Services はOAuth 認証標準を使用します。CData 製品では組込みOAuth が利用できるので、接続プロパティを設定することなく接続を試行するだけで、ブラウザ経由でAAS に認証できます。詳しい設定方法については、ヘルプドキュメントの「Azure Analysis Services への認証」セクション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 Azure Analysis Services 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 Azure Analysis Services.

Create VCL Applications with Connectivity to Azure Analysis Services データ

Follow the procedure below to start executing queries to Azure Analysis Services 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 Azure Analysis Services 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 Country, Education FROM Customer WHERE Country = 'Australia'
    • 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.
