4、gt;　　?Shortcomings of Delphi</p><p>　　?Summary and Concluding Remarks</p><p>　　20.1Introduction</p><p>　　Delphi is an object-oriented RAD tool, which allows the software engineer to

5、 develop applications for Windows platforms. Delphi also provides a simple cross-platform solution when used in conjunction with Kylix, the equivalent RAD tool for the Linux platform. Kylix understands most of the code d

6、eveloped under a Delphi environment, making cross-platform software development more accessible to developers.</p><p>　　Delphi was developed by Borland in the early 1990s. The product evolved from Borland Tu

7、rbo Pascal after the company decided to make an object-oriented Pascal version of the popular product and simplify greatly the software development process. Since 2003, the market has seen several releases including Delp

8、hi V7, Delphi V8, Delphi 2005, Delphi 2007, and Delphi 2009. The rest of the chapter will be based on a review of Delphi 2005 and Delphi 2007. However, since the chapter deliberately avoids imp</p><p>　　Delp

9、hi is best described as a front-end RAD tool that interfaces with various databases through at least one of the following strategies:</p><p>　　Database drivers for Paradox, Interbase, MS SQL Server, Oracle,

10、DB2, Informix, MySQL, Sybase, Blackfish SQL, and SQL Anywhere</p><p>　　Borland Database Engine (BDE) for local database drivers</p><p>　　Borland Data Provider (BDP) for .NET (this includes Inter

11、base 7.5, MS SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, Sybase, and MS Access)</p><p>　　Delphi allows you to wrap an object-oriented GUI around a relational database. Figure 20-1 summarizes some of the different types of proj

12、ects that Delphi can be used for, and Figure 20-2 summarizes the main strengths of the product.</p><p>　　■Object-Oriented: The object-oriented approach to software development, as supported by the product,

13、enhances productivity in application development and maintenance. In particular, the effects of reusability of code (and objects), polymorphism and encapsulation are marked. Also, understand ability of the system is grea

14、tly enhanced. Thus, system development becomes more exciting, challenging and meaningful.</p><p>　　■Ease of Usage: Automatic code generation (which can be easily accessed and modified) significantly allows

15、for a significant reduction in the development time for an application. One-touch key or click allows quick access to code or changing back to visual editing of application. Code is easy to traverse, visualize, and modi

16、fy, with very useful highlighters and code completion features.</p><p>　　■Comprehensive Tool Palette: Delphi provides a tool palette of over 160 reusable, customizable and extensible CLX components (in vari

17、ous categories) for rapidly building sophisticated internet, database and GUI applications.</p><p>　　■Code Generation: Delphi generates a fair amount of code - in fact you can build quite sophisticated appl

18、ications without writing a single line of code. In more complex situations where the software engineer needs to write code, he/she gets a jump-start, which may account for anywhere between 40% and 80% of coding.</p>

19、;<p>　　■Ease of Learning: The code is generated in Object Pascal, a very easy-to-learn language.</p><p>　　■Scalability: Delphi allows building large corporate-level applications either from scratch,

20、 or from using existing Delphi applications and scaling up.</p><p>　　■Cross Platform Portability: Code developed under Windows (using CLX), can be used natively under Linux using Kylix, reducing development

21、 time and cost while enlarging the potential market of developed applications.</p><p>　　■Database Support: Support for a wide cross section of databases including MS Access, DB2, dBase, FoxPro, InterBase, I

22、nformix, MS SQL, MySQL, MyBase, Oracle, Paradox, and Sybase.</p><p>　　■Comprehensive Help System: The help system is comprehensive and well organized, with context sensitivity features.</p><p>

23、　　■Operating System Integration: The product integrates seamlessly into the MS Windows and Linux environment, utilizing the power of the operating system, rather than trying to take on tasks traditionally done by an ope

24、rating system.</p><p>　　■Easy Database Creation & Management: The creation and management of databases is a case which emphasizes the previous advantage. Delphi allows you to create a database alias whi

25、ch points to a Windows folder containing the related database objects. Those database objects could be native database objects (for instance in Paradox), or they may be Oracle databases, or some other external database r

36、ses, tables, indexes, views and query files.</p><p>　　20.2.2Interactive Development Environment</p><p>　　The Interactive Development Environment (IDE) is the Delphi component that is used for ap

37、plication development for Delphi, Delphi for .NET, or C++. It provides a number of useful features:</p><p>　　A GUI with a number of predefined application building blocks, located on over 30 tool palettes. M

38、ore commonly used tool palettes include Standard, Additional, Data Access, Data Controls, dbExpress, BDE, ActiveX, COM+, and ADO (ActiveX Data Objects).</p><p>　　Context sensitive prompts to guide the applic

40、files (extensions BDSPROJ and DPR), a Pascal unit file (extension PAS) with Object Pascal code for each operation with a corresponding form, and a form file (extension DFM) for each operation with a corresponding Pascal

41、unit. By using the tool palettes and applying Object Pascal (or C++) code, other components can be easily added to the project. Some commonly used application building blocks are menti</p><p>　　Theses tools

46、The Borland Database Engine (BDE) was the original component that allowed programmatic access and modification of databases and data. It was the engine between the application and the physical database. In application mo

56、for large-scale systems such as InterBase, MySQL, and Oracle. In fact, support for the local databases tends to be lacking (thus confirming that Delphi is really a front-end system which will facilitate the construction
