B4J Library [B4X] [B4XLib] SD_SQL (direct access to MySQL, MariaDB, MS SQL, FireBird)

Based on @Peter Simpson's code (here), I developed a library that allows you to connect directly to MySql, MsSql (for the moment) databases with B4A and B4J. To be clear, you don't need JRDC to connect to the database located on a server

(I am working on a version for b4i, but it is only obtainable with a wrap. it will take a long time because I have never written a line in objective-c).
SQL library already exists for B4J and it would not be necessary to create a new library. But to maintain compliance in writing the code I preferred to develop a B4XLib that works for both B4i and B4j

Being a B4XLib class, the code is perfectly reusable. It suffices on these two jar files jtds-1.3.1.jar and mysql-connector-java-5.1.47-bin.jar. (You can find these files in the @Peter Simpson thread or on the internet). With both B4A and B4J the jar files must be copied to the libreries folder.
To connect to the Firebird database read post 26

It is not a wrap, it does not depend on the internal SQL library. It is written entirely in B4X
You can use it to access DataBases that allow direct access both in a local network and through the internet. you cannot access databases of external services that allow access only through PHP or ASP

NOTE: You can use this library for personal and commercial use. Include it in your projects.. Attention, even if it is a B4XLib library, it is not allowed to decompress it, modify it, change its name or redistribute it without the permission of the author
For B4A Add this on Manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

?Sorry I‘m a Novice
I dont know how to change，but I’m Very happy to connect my mssql

if I want write to database,How do I write
like VB6:

rs.addnew
rs("xxx")=text1.text
rs("yyy")=text2.text
rs.update

and HOW I modify my db
like:

Conn.Execute "update db1 set student= '" & text1.text & "' where id = " & Label1.caption & ""

can you HELP me？
thank YOU very much！

Use SQL commands, in this case INSERT INTO

 

[swamisantosh]

Make sure you used the correct mar files (jtds-1.3.1.jar and mysql-connector-java-5.1.47-bin.jar).
The library has been tested on both platforms.
At the moment I cannot assist you on this project because I am off site. Next week I will be able to review.

PS. Kindly don't write with huge font, it's the same as screaming

sorry for HUGE FONT...

Thanks you very much the issue is resolved.

Hi, can you also include an example for other backends for example SQLite or it will work with the current implementation?

Thanks

It is exclusive to MS SQL, MySQL

Tested with Firebird database and works fine:

? Do my libraries also work for purposes I didn't design them for? Good to know

Hey Salvatore,
Your title should actually say MySQL/MariaDB ?

Cheers...

The ROWCOUNT is missing.
How do I know if the SELECT has not returned anything to me?

 

[MicroDrie]

You can try it on two ways. The result of the first routine has count the row in the table and the second routine gives the row count based on a element in the table.

'    --- Tests whether the given table exists
Public Sub TableExists(SQL As SQL, TableName As String) As Boolean
    Dim count As Int = SQL.ExecQuerySingleResult2("SELECT count(name) FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table' AND name=? COLLATE NOCASE", Array As String(TableName))
    Return count > 0
End Sub

'    --- Get table row count
Public Sub getTableExists(SQL As SQL, TableName As String) As Int
    Dim Length As Int = SQL As SQL.ExecQuerySingleResult($"SELECT count(name) FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table' AND name ='${TableName}'"$)
    Log($"${TableName} Length = ${Length}"$)
    Return Length
End Sub

There is no RowCount in the Java ResultSet. The only way is to count the lines by spelling them or with a Query that counts the results as @MicroDrie suggested.

 

[Mashiane]

@Star-Dust , this I assume does not use connection pools or does it? Just curious in terms of it handle a large number of concurrent users.

It's just a connector that uses jar drivers.
I believe the pool is about the server

Tested with Firebird database and works fine:

For B4J also jaybird-full-4.0.0.java8.jar is ok

Hello first of all thank you very much for this contribution I am amazed with the way of connection to the database especially MySQL and Firebird, but how can we use the statements for INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE? I would greatly appreciate a contribution on this.

Hi guys,
I'm Alex from Italy.
I'm a Delphi, C++ and Java coder and two months ago I discovered this wonderful community. I am fascinated by the enormous potential of the B4X environment and I thank Erel for what he has done and what he does.
I've no a jRDC server (for now), so I tryed this nice library.

I've a connection problem with SD_SQL.

If I compile in debug mode all runs OK.
If I compile in release mode I receve connection error:

Not connected: org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBSQLException: GDS Exception. 335544721. Unable to complete network request to host "192.168.0.99".

Where am I doing wrong?

'In Main module:

'FirebirdSQL Connector/J Driver

with function ExecNonQuery

Dim SQL as String = $"UPDATE <table name> SET <field1> = '${<string1>}', <field2> = '${<string2>}' WHERE <field3> = '${<string3>}'"$

FBSQL.ExecNonQuery(SQL)

What kind of error do you get? Did you make a log?
