Crossplatform connection to Microsoft SQL Server in Xojo
Today we got updated sample code to connect from Mac, Windows and Linux to Microsoft SQL Server. As you see we use freetds on MacOS and Linux to connect to the SQL Server and ODBC or DB Library on Windows. Please try soon with SQLDatabaseMBS or SQLConnectionMBS classes with MBS Xojo SQL Plugin:
// connect to Microsoft SQL Database
Dim con As New SQLDatabaseMBS
dim cs as string
dim user as string = iUser.Text
dim pass as string = iPass.Text
dim databaseName as string = iDatabaseName.text
dim server as string = iServer.text
dim Port as string = iPort.Text
#if TargetLinux then
// install package tdsodbc
cs = "DRIVER={libtdsodbc.so};Server="+Server+";UId="+User+";PWD="+Pass+";Database="+DatabaseName+";TDS_VERSION=7.2;Port="+Port
con.DatabaseName = "ODBC:"+cs
con.Option("UseAPI") = "ODBC"
#elseif TargetWin32 then
cs = Server + "@"+DatabaseName
con.UserName = User
con.Password = Pass
con.Option("OLEDBProvider") = "SQLNCLI"
con.DatabaseName = "SQLServer:"+cs
#elseif TargetMacOS then
dim libtdsodbc as Folderitem = FindFile("libtdsodbc.dylib")
// download library on MBS website:
// http://monkeybreadsoftware.de/xojo/download/plugin/Libs/
cs = "DRIVER={" + libtdsodbc.nativepath + "};Server="+Server+";UId="+User+";PWD="+Pass+";Database="+DatabaseName+";TDS_VERSION=7.2;Port="+Port
con.Option("UseAPI") = "ODBC"
con.DatabaseName = "ODBC:"+cs
#else
?
#endif
// DB Library settings
con.Option("DBPROP_INIT_TIMEOUT") = "10"
con.Option("DBPROP_COMMANDTIMEOUT") = "10"
// ODBC settings
con.Option("SQL_ATTR_QUERY_TIMEOUT") = "10"
con.Option("SQL_ATTR_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT") = "10"
if con.ConnectMT then
con.Scrollable = True
// if you like to get exceptions instead of checking error property
con.RaiseExceptions = true
Else
dim e as string = con.errorMessage
System.DebugLog e
Break
end if
PS: Due to a required change in SQL Plugin, you need 18.3pr2 version, which comes in the next days.
