The CData ADO.NET Provider for Anaplan implements two ADO.NET interfaces you can use to retrieve data from Anaplan: AnaplanDataAdapter and AnaplanDataReader objects. Whereas AnaplanDataAdapter objects retrieve a single result set of all the data that matches a query, AnaplanDataReader objects fetch data in subset increments as needed.

Using the AnaplanDataAdapter

Use the adapter's Fill method to retrieve data from the data source. An empty DataTable instance is passed as an argument to the Fill method. When the method returns, the DataTable instance is populated with the queried data. Note that the AnaplanDataAdapter is slower than the AnaplanDataReader because the Fill method needs to retrieve all data from the data source before returning.

The following example selects the Region and Product columns of the Sales table:

C#

string connectionString = "AuthScheme=Basic;[email protected];Password=password;";

using (AnaplanConnection connection = new AnaplanConnection(connectionString)) {
  AnaplanDataAdapter dataAdapter = new AnaplanDataAdapter(
  "SELECT Region, Product FROM [Workspace].[Model].[Sales]", connection);

  DataTable table = new DataTable();
  dataAdapter.Fill(table);

  Console.WriteLine("Contents of Sales.");

  foreach (DataRow row in table.Rows) {
    Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", row["Region"], row["Product"]);
  }
}

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As String = "AuthScheme=Basic;[email protected];Password=password;"

Using connection As New AnaplanConnection(connectionString)
  Dim dataAdapter As New AnaplanDataAdapter("SELECT Region, Product FROM [Workspace].[Model].[Sales]", connection)

  Dim table As New DataTable()
  dataAdapter.Fill(table)

  Console.WriteLine("Contents of Sales.")

  For Each row As DataRow In table.Rows
    Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", row("Region"), row("Product"))
  Next
