I very simple (but reliable) alternative approach might be to periodically (say every 30 seconds or whatever makes sense for your app) fire a simple query like “select max(DateUpdated) from MyTable” (assuming you have a DateUpdated column) and if the result returned is greater than the last value you have, you just do a refresh on that particular table/query in the UI.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jolyon Smith Sent: Tuesday, 3 April 2012 8:08 a.m. To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List Subject: Re: [DUG] SqlDependency As far as I can tell, SQLDepedency is just a high level wrapper around SQL Server Query Notifications - you could (if someone hasn't done it already) create such a high level wrapper yourself, or just build what you need on the core services themselves. Instead of Google'ing "SQLDependency", try instead "SQL Server Query Notification". These articles in particular may be useful: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms130764.aspx http://www.simple-talk.com/sql/t-sql-programming/using-and-monitoring-sql-2005-query-notification/ You will note that there is quite a bit of infrastructure required in the DB itself to get this stuff up and running and there are some quite specific conditions that have to be met by the query itself - it's not just a case of "notify me about this query". At the very least you need a queue and Service Broker to be running. Whether you are in a position to put that infrastructure in place may determine whether or not this approach is even viable in your case. hth On 3 April 2012 02:33, Jackson Gomes <[email protected]> wrote: you may try CrossTalk, which allows you to import .NET classes and Libs and use them on Delphi http://www.atozed.com/crosstalk/index.en.aspx _____ Date: Mon, 2 Apr 2012 11:49:25 +1200 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [DUG] SqlDependency I would like to get SQL Server (2008 R2) to notify my app when data in a table changes. I’m looking for something like the SqlDependency class in .net, but for an XE2 VCL (Pascal) app. Does anyone know of a component, class, or way to replicate this (Not .net)?
