Connect SQL Server(RDS) with Ubuntu(FireDAC).

Connect SQL Serveer(RDS) with FireDAC.

The platform used Ubuntu.

Select sqlserver-ex for DB Engine of RDS.

Time Zone setting is Tokyo/Japan.

[Ubuntu "Microsoft ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server" driver settings] 

I tried it with local Ubuntu and RDS(SQL Server).

It is also possible to use EC2(Ubuntu) as shown below.

[Create RAD Studio new Project]

Select [File]→[New]→[Other..]→[Delphi Projects]→[Console Application] from the menu.

////
program sql_server_connection;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

{$R *.res}

uses
  System.SysUtils;

begin
  try

  except
    on E: Exception do
      Writeln(E.ClassName, ': ', E.Message);
  end;
end.

At first it is the above state.

Change the target to "Linux 64Bit".

Please see the URL for the method of adding targets.

[Added New Data Module]

Add Data Module.

This is also added from the menu[New]→[Other..].

 It was placed TFDConnection in a Data Module.

Set FDConnection1.

#
User_Name= UsernameName
Password=*****
Server=*.*.ap-northeast-1.rds.amazonaws.com
DriverID=MSSQL

[Code]

I wrote a simple code for Unit1.pas.SQL to get time with getdate().

////
function TDataModule1.get_sql_date: TDateTime;
var
  query_: TFDQuery;
begin
  query_  := TFDQuery.Create(Self);
  try
    query_.Connection := FDConnection1;
    query_.SQL.Text   := 'select getdate() as d_';
    query_.Active     := True;
    Result  := query_.FieldByName('d_').AsDateTime;

  finally
    query_.DisposeOf;
  end;
end;

Call this on the main.

///
var
  s_: String;
begin
  try
    try
      DataModule1 := TDataModule1.Create(nil);
      s_          := DateTimeToStr(DataModule1.get_sql_date);
      Writeln(s_);
    finally
      DataModule1.DisposeOf;
    end;
  except
    on E: Exception do
      Writeln(E.ClassName, ': ', E.Message);
  end;
end.

If you get an error like the one below.

Can't open lib '/opt/microsoft/msodbcsql/lib64/libmsodbcsql-11.0.so.2270.0' : file not found' .

#
Project * raised exception class EMSSQLNativeException with message '[FireDAC][Phys][ODBC][unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/opt/microsoft/msodbcsql/lib64/libmsodbcsql-11.0.so.2270.0' : file not found'.

It can be avoided by making ln -s.

#
ln -s /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql/lib64/libmsodbcsql-13.0.so.1.0 /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql/lib64/libmsodbcsql-11.0.so.2270.0

 [result]

got the SQL Server time.
