Vue d'ensemble

Vous pouvez utiliser Free Pascal/Lazarus pour accéder à un serveur de base de données PostgreSQL. Si vous cherchez de l'information sur le paquet postgres dans FPC, veuillez consulter #Paquet PostgreSQL : les unités de bas-niveau plus bas.

Avantages de PostgreSQL:

• Il est disponible et largement utilisé
• Très stable et a un ensemble complet de fonctionnalités.
• Licence libérale (sans frais) par rapport à MySQL.

Inconvénient de PostgreSQL:

• Certains hébergeurs peuvent ne pas offrir PostgreSQL
• Pas de version incorporée (i.e. sans serveur distant/installé, comme Firebird le propose)

Win64: SVP, consulter l'avertissement ici sur l'inutilisation de certaines versions de FPC/Lazarus Win64.

Accès direct à PostgreSQL

Vous pouvez vous connecter à PostgreSQL avec Lazarus en utilisant les composants PostgreSQL Data Access (PgDAC). C'est une bibliothèque de composants qui fournissent une connectivité native à PostgreSQL depuis Lazarus (et Free Pascal) sur Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, Android, Linux et FreeBSD pour les plates-formes 32-bit et 64-bit. PgDAC est conçue pour aider le programmeur à développer des applications PostgreSQL réellement légères, rapides et propres sans déploiement de bibliothèques supplémentaires.

Vous pouvez la télécharger librement depuis Composants Lazarus.

Zeos

Zeos supports PostgreSQL; please see ZeosDBO

SQLDB

FPC/Lazarus supports PostgreSQL out of the box with a PostgreSQL connection component/class. If you are using FPC only or want to manually add PostgreSQL support, add pqconnection to your uses clause. Otherwise, Lazarus provides a component:

Note: The libpq C client contains some memory leaks (at least up till version 9.3 of Postgres) when a library is repeatedly loaded/unloaded. SQLDB loads the library when the first connection is made, and unloads it when the last connection closes. This means that whenever the last connection is closed, a small memory leak is created. To prevent this from happening (and speed up the application), you can load the library once at the start of the process with the InitialisePostgres3 call.

The charset property is used for client encoding.

The TPQConnection component does not directly support a Port property, but one can pass the port into the component via the Params parameter:

PQConnection.Params.Add('port=' + VariableContainingPort);

Other PostgreSQL specific connection parameters can be specified using the Params property:

PQConnection.Params.Add('application_name=''yourappname''')

Exemple

See SQLdb_Tutorial1 for a tutorial on creating a GUI database-enabled program that is written for PostgreSQL/SQLDB, as well as SQLite/SQLDB, Firebird/SQLDB, basically any RDBMS SQLDB supports).

Surveillance des événements

If you have FPC2.6.2+ and a recent version of Lazarus, you can use the TPQTEventMonitor component to monitor events coming from PostgreSQL.

It is a thin wrapper around FPC PQEventMonitor; please see the FPC pqeventstest.pp example programs for details.

Installation et erreurs

As with all sqldb units, you need to add your driver libraries (all required PostgreSQL .dll/.manifest files)

• to a directory in the (library search) path (e.g. c:\windows\system32 for Windows)
• or (Windows) to the program output directory (e.g. lib/something/ in your project directory, and the project directory

Pilote Windows 64 bit

If you are developing 64 bit applications, you must use a 64 bit DLL.

  Remarque: FPC 2.6.0 (therefore Lazarus 1.0.4 or lower) does not yet support PostgreSQL on Windows 64 bit (unless you patch and recompile it).

A Windows 64 driver is fairly hard to find but can be downloaded here: [1]. The driver library can be installed in c:\windows\system32; 32 bit driver libraries can be installed in the confusingly named c:\windows\syswow64

Erreur: "Can not load PostgreSQL client library "libpq.dll""

The program cannot find your PostgreSQL driver files.

See above on instructions where to install the libraries.

A good example that demonstrates how to include drive DLL files when connecting Lazarus with PostgreSQL under Windows is easyDB.

On Linux/Unix/OSX: make sure the PostgreSQL libraries are in your library search path, e.g.:

• On Linux add the path to the libpq.so file to the libraries section in your /etc/fpc.cfg file. For example : -Fl/usr/local/pgsql/lib
• It may be necessary to create a symbolic link from a specific library version to a general library name:

  ln -s /usr/lib/pqsql.so.5 /usr/lib/pqsql.so
  

  . Alternatively, install the postgresql client -dev package using your distribution's package manager

Problèmes de nettoyage des paramètres

  Remarque: Verify this: is .paramtype really necessary?

At least in FPC <= 2.6.2: if you .Clear a parameter (i.e. set it to NULL), PostgreSQL may have difficulty recognizing the parameter type.

In that case, explicitly specify the type, e.g.:

FWriteQuery.Params.ParamByName('LONGITUDE').ParamType:=ptInput; //required for postgresql
FWriteQuery.Params.ParamByName('LONGITUDE').Clear

Comment faire

Utiliser INSERT RETURNING

Obtenir le dernier ID inséré

With PostGres there is no need to run a second query to get the last inserted ID.

Use INSERT RETURNING and read the value:

var 
  ID: Integer
..
Query.SQL.Text:= 'INSERT INTO myschema.films(film_name)' +
                 'VALUES(:film_name) RETURNING film_id;';
Query.Open;
ID:= Query.FieldByName('film_id').AsInteger;

Obtenir des champs multiples et des expressions

RETURNING in PostgreSQL is more flexible than most database engines. It works with INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements and can be any list of fields, constants, or expressions that would be found in a SELECT list.

INSERT INTO films (film_name) VALUES ('val') RETURNING film_id;  -- Returns id's for newly created rows.
INSERT INTO films (film_name) VALUES ('val') RETURNING film_id, kind;  -- Returns id and kind fields in newly created rows.
INSERT INTO films (film_name) VALUES ('val') RETURNING *; -- Returns all fields in newly created rows.
     
UPDATE films SET kind = 'Dramatic' WHERE kind = 'Drama' RETURNING film_id; -- Returns id's of updated rows.
UPDATE films SET kind = 'Dramatic' WHERE kind = 'Drama' RETURNING film_id, film_name; -- Returns id and film names of updated rows.
UPDATE films SET kind = 'Dramatic' WHERE kind = 'Drama' RETURNING *; -- Returns all fields of updated rows.
     
DELETE FROM films RETURNING film_id; --Returns id's of deleted rows.
DELETE FROM films RETURNING film_id, film_name; --Returns id's and film names of deleted rows.
DELETE FROM films RETURNING *;  -- Returns all fields of deleted rows.

RETURNING using fields, constants, and expressions:

INSERT INTO films (film_name) VALUES ('val') RETURNING id, 'a' AS a, id*2 AS doubled_id, CASE WHEN id > 100 THEN 'a' ELSE 'b' END AS foo;

Paquet PostgreSQL : les unités de bas-niveau

As with all databases, the SQLDB code depends on a lower level PostgreSQL specific unit that wraps around the PostgreSQL driver library (.so/.dll/.dylib). Normally, you would use the higher-level SQLDB code as it allows you to code more quickly, easily switch databases etc.

Using this is very easy, all you need to do is compile some units, and use these units in your program. You need to specify the place of the PostgreSQL client Library (libpq) when compiling, and that is it.

The main unit is called postgres, normally this is the only unit you must include in your uses clause.

Exigences

You need at least version 0.99.5 of Free Pascal (basically any version of FPC except extremely old ones). The headers are translated from PostgreSQL version 6.3.1.

Installation

The postgres unit comes with the Free Pascal packages, and is distributed together with the compiler. This contains a directory postgres with the units, a test program and a makefile. cd to the directory and edit the Makefile to set the variables for your system. You must provide only 1 thing:

1. The directory where the libpq library resides, usually /usr/local/pgsql/lib

Typing

make

Should compile the units and the program. If compilation was succesfull, you can install with

make install

(Remember to set the directory where the units should be installed.)

You can then test the program by running

make test

This will:

• Run the test program testpg. It is a straightforward pascal translation of the example program in the PostGreSQL programmers' guide.
• Run a script to create a table in a database, and fill it with some data. (the psql program should be in your PATH for this) . By default, the used database is testdb.
• Run the testprogram testemail
• Run a shell script again to remove the created table.

You will see a lot of messages on your screen, giving you feedback and results. If something went wrong, make will inform you of this.
