B4J Library [B4X] [B4XLib] SD_SQL (direct access to MySQL, MariaDB, MS SQL, FireBird)

Based on @Peter Simpson's code (here), I developed a library that allows you to connect directly to MySql, MsSql (for the moment) databases with B4A and B4J. To be clear, you don't need JRDC to connect to the database located on a server

(I am working on a version for b4i, but it is only obtainable with a wrap. it will take a long time because I have never written a line in objective-c).
SQL library already exists for B4J and it would not be necessary to create a new library. But to maintain compliance in writing the code I preferred to develop a B4XLib that works for both B4i and B4j

Being a B4XLib class, the code is perfectly reusable. It suffices on these two jar files jtds-1.3.1.jar and mysql-connector-java-5.1.47-bin.jar. (You can find these files in the @Peter Simpson thread or on the internet). With both B4A and B4J the jar files must be copied to the libreries folder.
To connect to the Firebird database read post 26

It is not a wrap, it does not depend on the internal SQL library. It is written entirely in B4X
You can use it to access DataBases that allow direct access both in a local network and through the internet. you cannot access databases of external services that allow access only through PHP or ASP

NOTE: You can use this library for personal and commercial use. Include it in your projects.. Attention, even if it is a B4XLib library, it is not allowed to decompress it, modify it, change its name or redistribute it without the permission of the author
For B4A Add this on Manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

Well, I'll give a quick summary.
To access MySql you had to import a driver or connector in C which is impossible for me because I ignore the language and compile with Host Builder.

So I decided to create a collector/driver from scratch in B4X... and it seems to work... I still have to improve and finalize ResultSet and it will take a week or more.... but it works, logs in, authenticates and reads the data

db.Initialize(Me,"db")
db.Connect("192.168.1.103","root","password")
  
Wait For db_Connected (Success As Boolean, Message As String)
If Success Then    db.executeQuery("SHOW DATABASES")

Sub Class_Globals
    Private host As String
    Private port As Int
    Private client As Socket
    Private aStream As AsyncStreams

    Private mCakkBack As Object
    Private mEventName As String
End Sub

'Initializes the object. You can add parameters to this method if needed.
Public Sub Initialize(CallBack As Object, EventName As String)
    mCakkBack=CallBack
    mEventName=EventName & "_"
    port=3306
End Sub

Public Sub Connect(Address As String,username As String, password As String)
    host=Address
    user=username
    pass=password
    client.Initialize("client")
    client.Connect(host,port,3000)
End Sub

Given the many requests I have received to develop a version for iOS I imagined a more enthusiastic welcome from the forum.

I realized that I understand IT well but not people well ?

 

[Star-Dust]

Update.

Completed the MySql connector written entirely in B4X. Tried with all types and with different tables and databases. It seems to work correctly.
I just need to improve the resultSet to not keep the data in the ram memory as I receive it. But I have time to work on it...

 

[MrKim]

Work has started on the MySQL connector for iOS.... Anyone interested?

I don't need My SQL but I am very interested in MSSQL Server...

I don't need My SQL but I am very interested in MSSQL Server...

It will be my next attempt. I hope to have as much luck.
