How to populate data into dataset from Firebird database in Delphi using FIBPLUS components?

I am using Firebird 2.5.2 database and Delphi XE4. I will be using FIBPlus TpFIBDatabase and TpFIBDataset components to populate data from Firebird database to dataset in Delphi XE4. For this, you have to drag TpFIBDatabase and TpFIBDataset components into your Delphi Form from the Tool Palette. Set various properties of TpFIBDatabase component like DBName, Username, Password and LibraryName to connect to Firebird database. I have written a complete tutorial on this. After successfully creating the database connection, set following properties of TpFIBDataset component:

Database: Provide the name of database component (TpFIBDatabase) in Database property. In my case, I have created dbMyDatabase component in my previous article.

SQLs: Write the query which you want to run. In my case, I am running following query:

SELECT ID, NAME FROM MY_FIREBIRD_TABLE WHERE ID = :ID AND NAME = :NAME;

Now, populate your dataset like this:

var

dsMyDataSet : TpFIBDataSet;

with dsMyDataSet do

begin

  Active := False;

  Params.ParamByName('ID').AsInteger := 1000;

  Params.ParamByName('NAME').AsString := 'Naresh';

  Active := True;

  RecordCount;

end;

Note: You can also set Database and SQLs properties in pas file as following:

with dsMyDataSet do

begin

  Active := False;

  Database := dbMyDatabase;

  SQLs.SelectSQL.Text := 'SELECT ID, NAME FROM MY_FIREBIRD_TABLE WHERE ID =:ID                                               AND NAME = :NAME;';

  Params.ParamByName('ID').AsInteger := 1000;

  Params.ParamByName('NAME').AsString := 'Naresh';

  Active := True;

  RecordCount;

end;
