INSERT RECORDS INTO A DATABASE TABLE
-NOTRE THAT WE COULD HAVE DONE A
'BATCH INSERT' HERE...
assumes the existence of a database table in a place
where the program can find it
also these constants up at the top of your code:
const
TablesDataDir = 'name_of_directory';
foxOrdersFileName + 'name_of_file';
procedure TMainForm.AddDataButtonClick(Sender: TObject);
{open Foxorders.db and add (temporary, test data) records...}
var
dbFullFileName: String;
odTQuery: TQuery;
exeFileName, pathToExe: String;
newRecCount: Integer;
refNo: Integer;
refNoStr: String;
bmpNameStr: String;
begin
odTQuery := TQuery.Create(nil);
exeFileName := Application.ExeName;
pathToExe := ExtractFilePath(exeFileName);
dbFullFileName := pathToExe + TablesDataDir + foxOrdersFileName;
odTQuery.DatabaseName := ExtractFileDir(dbFullFileName);
if (FileExists(dbFullFileName)) then
begin
refNo := 1;
for newRecCount := 1 to 60 do
begin
refNoStr := '000000' + IntToStr(refNo);
bmpNameStr := 'A' + 'MOD' + '0' + IntToStr(refNo) + '.BMP';
Inc(refNo);
odTQuery.Close;
odTQuery.SQL.Clear;
odTQuery.sql.Add('INSERT INTO ' + #39 + dbFullFileName + #39 +
' (OrderReference, ThumbFileName) VALUES (' +
#34 + refNoStr + #34 + ',' + #34 + bmpNameStr + #34
+ ')');
{execute the query}
odTQuery.ExecSql;
end;
odTQuery.sql.SaveToFile('Test.sql');
end;
odTQuery.Free;
end;
