Configure to use with DBISAM

What are the steps to configure OPB to work with DBISAM Tables?

Any Information will be appreciated.

Regards.

    You have to write OQB engine for DBISAM. You can use bde, ado or ibx engines code as a sample.

    Here is a DBISAM engine code from FastReport powerpack, you may try to use it:

    uses
    Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs,
    StdCtrls, ExtCtrls, DB, DBISAMtb, QBuilder;


    type
    TfrQBDBIEngine = class(TOQBEngine)
    private
    FResultQuery: TDBISAMQuery;
    public
    constructor Create(AOwner: TComponent); override;
    destructor Destroy; override;
    procedure ReadTableList; override;
    procedure ReadFieldList(ATableName: string); override;
    procedure ClearQuerySQL; override;
    procedure SetQuerySQL(Value: string); override;
    function ResultQuery: TDataSet; override;
    procedure OpenResultQuery; override;
    procedure CloseResultQuery; override;
    procedure SaveResultQueryData; override;
    function SelectDatabase: Boolean; override;
    procedure UpdateTableList;
    published
    property Query: TDBISAMQuery read FResultQuery write FResultQuery;
    end;


    { TfrQBDBIEngine }

    constructor TfrQBDBIEngine.Create(AOwner: TComponent);
    begin
    inherited Create(AOwner);
    FResultQuery := nil;
    end;

    destructor TfrQBDBIEngine.Destroy;
    begin
    CloseResultQuery;
    inherited Destroy;
    end;

    procedure TfrQBDBIEngine.UpdateTableList;
    begin
    ReadTableList;
    end;

    function TfrQBDBIEngine.SelectDatabase: Boolean;
    begin
    Result := False;
    end;

    procedure TfrQBDBIEngine.ReadTableList;
    begin
    Session.GetTableNames(DatabaseName, TableList);
    end;

    procedure TfrQBDBIEngine.ReadFieldList(ATableName: String);
    var
    i: Integer;
    Temp: TDBISAMTable;
    begin
    Temp := nil;
    try
    Temp := TDBISAMTable.Create(nil);
    Temp.DataBaseName := FResultQuery.DatabaseName;
    Temp.TableName := aTableName;

    FieldList.Clear;
    FieldList.Add('*');
    Temp.FieldDefs.Update;
    for i := 0 to Temp.FieldDefs.Count - 1 do
    FieldList.Add(Temp.FieldDefs.Items.Name);
    finally
    Temp.Close;
    Temp.Free;
    end;
    end;

    procedure TfrQBDBIEngine.ClearQuerySQL;
    begin
    FResultQuery.SQL.Clear;
    end;

    procedure TfrQBDBIEngine.SetQuerySQL(Value: String);
    begin
    FResultQuery.SQL.Text := Value;
    end;

    function TfrQBDBIEngine.ResultQuery: TDataSet;
    begin
    Result := FResultQuery;
    end;

    procedure TfrQBDBIEngine.OpenResultQuery;
    begin
    if not FResultQuery.Prepared then
    FResultQuery.Prepare;
    FResultQuery.Active := True;
    end;

    procedure TfrQBDBIEngine.CloseResultQuery;
    begin
    FResultQuery.Active := False;
    end;

    procedure TfrQBDBIEngine.SaveResultQueryData;
    begin
    ShowMessage('Operation non supported.');
    end;

    Hi All,

    I am running with D6.02 and DBISAM 3.27 and for the life of me, I cannot get the engine to work. While it will create the Icon, if I go to delete the engine Icon from the form, I get hit with an AV. Once I hit the AV, delphi will not close. While I feel rather like a fool, Can someone who has it working perhaps enlighten me?

    Regards,

    Larry

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
