Manage

The manage step provides data management functionality for your application and/or process.

Below is the code for Manage():

procedure TForm1.Manage;
begin
    // delete any existing records
    Delete_Records;
    // populate the table with data
    Add_Records;
    // display contents of table
    Display_Records;
end;


procedure TForm1.Delete_Records;
begin
    try
        SQLConnection1.StartTransaction(td);
        SQLConnection1.ExecuteDirect('DELETE FROM custmast');
        SQLConnection1.Commit(td);
    except on E: Exception do Handle_Exception(E);
    end;
end;


procedure TForm1.Add_Records;
const
    data : array [1..4] of string = (
        '(''1000'', ''92867'', ''CA'', ''1'', ''Bryan Williams'', ''2999 Regency'', ''Orange'')',
        '(''1001'', ''61434'', ''CT'', ''1'', ''Michael Jordan'', ''13 Main'', ''Harford'')',
        '(''1002'', ''73677'', ''GA'', ''1'', ''Joshua Brown'', ''4356 Cambridge'', ''Atlanta'')',
        '(''1003'', ''10034'', ''MO'', ''1'', ''Keyon Dooling'', ''19771 Park Avenue'', ''Columbia'')'
    );
    nRecords : integer = 4;
var
    i : integer;
    str : string;
begin
    try
        SQLConnection1.StartTransaction(td);
        for i := 1 to nRecords do
        begin
            // add one record at time to table
            str := 'INSERT INTO custmast VALUES ' + data[i];
            SQLConnection1.ExecuteDirect(str);
        end;
        SQLConnection1.Commit(td);
    except on E: Exception do Handle_Exception(E);
    end;
end;


procedure TForm1.Display_Records;
begin
    try
        SimpleDataSet1.DataSet.CommandType := ctQuery;
        SimpleDataSet1.DataSet.CommandText := 'SELECT * FROM custmast';
        SimpleDataSet1.Active := true;
    except on E: Exception do Handle_Exception(E);
    end;
