DataBind Greenplum Data to the DevExpress Data Grid


Use the CData ADO.NET Provider for Greenplum with the DevExpress Windows Forms and Web controls to provide Greenplum data to a chart.

The ADO.NET Provider for Greenplum by CData incorporates conventional ADO.NET data access components compatible with third-party controls. You can adhere to the standard ADO.NET data binding procedures to establish two-way access to real-time data through UI controls. This article will demonstrate the utilization of CData components for data binding with DevExpress UI Controls (Windows Forms and Web controls), specifically binding to a chart that visualizes live data.

To connect to Greenplum, set the Server, Port (the default port is 5432), and Database connection properties and set the User and Password you wish to use to authenticate to the server. If the Database property is not specified, the default database for the authenticate user is used.

Windows Forms Controls

The code below shows how to populate a DevExpress chart with Greenplum data. The GreenplumDataAdapter binds to the Series property of the chart control. The Diagram property of the control defines the x- and y-axes as the column names.

using (GreenplumConnection connection = new GreenplumConnection( "User=user;Password=admin;Database=dbname;Server=127.0.0.1;Port=5432;")) { GreenplumDataAdapter dataAdapter = new GreenplumDataAdapter( "SELECT Freight, ShipName FROM Orders WHERE ShipCountry = USA", connection); DataTable table = new DataTable(); dataAdapter.Fill(table); DevExpress.XtraCharts.Series series = new DevExpress.XtraCharts.Series(); chartControl1.Series.Add(series); series.DataSource = table; series.ValueDataMembers.AddRange(new string[] { "ShipName" }); series.ArgumentScaleType = DevExpress.XtraCharts.ScaleType.Qualitative; series.ArgumentDataMember = "Freight"; series.ValueScaleType = DevExpress.XtraCharts.ScaleType.Numerical; chartControl1.Legend.Visibility = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.False; ((DevExpress.XtraCharts.SideBySideBarSeriesView)series.View).ColorEach = true; }

Web Controls

The code below shows how to populate a DevExpress Web control with Greenplum data. The GreenplumDataAdapter binds to the Series property of the chart; the Diagram property defines the x- and y-axes as the column names.

using DevExpress.XtraCharts; using (GreenplumConnection connection = new GreenplumConnection( "User=user;Password=admin;Database=dbname;Server=127.0.0.1;Port=5432;")) { GreenplumDataAdapter GreenplumDataAdapter1 = new GreenplumDataAdapter("SELECT Freight, ShipName FROM Orders WHERE ShipCountry = USA", connection); DataTable table = new DataTable(); GreenplumDataAdapter1.Fill(table); DevExpress.XtraCharts.Series series = new Series("Series1", ViewType.Bar); WebChartControl1.Series.Add(series); series.DataSource = table; series.ValueDataMembers.AddRange(new string[] { "ShipName" }); series.ArgumentScaleType = ScaleType.Qualitative; series.ArgumentDataMember = "Freight"; series.ValueScaleType = ScaleType.Numerical; ((DevExpress.XtraCharts.SideBySideBarSeriesView)series.View).ColorEach = true; }
