Connecting Delphi to SQLite Database

This tutorial demonstrates how to connect a Delphi VCL application to a SQLite database. It includes adding components like buttons, a connection, and a memo to a form. It also provides code for connecting to the database, executing a query, and displaying results in the memo. The tutorial uses a sample database located at D:\test.s3db and executes a simple SELECT query on a table named "example" to retrieve and display records.

Tutorial: Connecting to a SQLite Database (Delphi)


From RAD Studio Go Up to Tutorials#SQLite and SQLMonitor This tutorial is a simple Delphi VCL Form application that shows how to establish a connection to a SQLite database and execute a simple query. In this example an SQLite database is used, but you can use any SQLite database available to you. The database used in this example is located at D:\test.s3db and has one table named example.

Steps
1. Select File > New > VCL Forms Application - Delphi. 2. Add the following components to the form: Two TButton controls; from the Object Inspector, set the Name properties of the buttons to executeButton and connectButton, and their Caption properties, to Execute and Connect, respectively. A TSQLConnection control; from the Object Inspector, set the Driver property to Sqlite. A TMemo control; from the Object Inspector, set the Name to outputMemo. At this point the form should look like this:

3. Add the following code to the OnClick event handler for the connectButton.
procedure [Link](Sender: TObject); begin // Set the path of your database file. // Replace "full_path_to_your_database_file" with the absolute path // to your SQLite database file. [Link]('Database=full_path_to_your_database_file'); try

// Establish the connection. [Link] := true; [Link] := true; [Link] := 'Connection established!'; except on E: EDatabaseError do ShowMessage('Exception raised with message' + [Link]); end; end;

4. Add the following code to the OnClick event handler for the executeButton.
procedure [Link](Sender: TObject); var results: TDataSet; query: String; begin [Link]; // A random query query := 'SELECT * FROM example;'; try // Execute the query on the database. [Link](query, nil, results); except on E: Exception do [Link] := 'Exception raised with message: ' + [Link]; end; // Show the results of the query in a TMemo control. ShowSelectResults(results); end;

Here is the code for the ShowSelectResults procedure:


procedure [Link](results: TDataSet); var names: TStringList; i: Integer; currentField: TField; currentLine: string; begin if not [Link] then begin [Link]; names := [Link]; [Link](names); while not [Link] do begin currentLine := ''; for i := 0 to [Link] - 1 do begin currentField := [Link](names[i]); currentLine := currentLine + ' ' + [Link]; end; [Link](currentLine); [Link]; end; end; end;
