Viewing QuickBooks データ in RAD Studio Data Explorer

How to view QuickBooks データ in RAD Studio Data Explorer using the CData ODBC Driver for QuickBooks.

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 QuickBooks, you gain access to live QuickBooks データ within RAD Studio, abstracting the data into tables, views, and stored procedures that can be used to both retrieve and update QuickBooks データ. This article will walk through connecting to QuickBooks using the Data Explorer.

Configure a Connection to QuickBooks

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.

ローカルQuickBooks インスタンスへの接続には接続プロパティ入力は不要です。

CData 製品は、リモートコネクタ経由でQuickBooks にリクエストを作成します。リモートコネクタはQuickBooks と同じマシン上で動作し、軽量の組み込みWeb サーバーを介して接続を受け入れます。サーバーはSSL/TLS をサポートし、ユーザーにリモートマシンからのセキュアな接続を可能にします。

初めて接続するときは、CData 製品をQuickBooks で認証する必要があります。詳しくは、ヘルプドキュメントの「Using the Remote Connector」を参照してください。

Connecting to QuickBooks データ Using Data Explorer

You can create a simple application for displaying QuickBooks データ by utilizing the CData FireDAC Components for QuickBooks and a new VCL Forms Application:

Open the Data Explorer in RAD Studio and expand FireDAC.
Right-click the ODBC Data Source node in the Data Explorer.
Click Add New Connection.
Enter a name for the connection.
In the FireDAC Connection Editor that appears, set the DataSource property to the name of the ODBC DSN for QuickBooks.
Back in the Data Explorer, expand the tables for the connection.
Create a new VCL Forms application and drag a table (for example: Customers) onto the form.
Select the CustomersTable object on the form and set the Active property to true.
Right-click on the object, bind visually, and link everything (*) to a new control (TStringGrid).
Arrange the TStringGrid on the form and run the application to see the Customers data.
