Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) is a library of components that provides native connectivity to Oracle from Delphi and C++Builder including Community Edition, as well as Lazarus (and Free Pascal) on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android for both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. The ODAC library is designed to help programmers develop faster and more native Oracle database applications. ODAC, a high-performance and feature-rich Oracle connectivity solution, is an efficient native alternative to the Borland Database Engine (BDE) and standard dbExpress driver. It provides both possibilities of connection to Oracle through native Oracle data access and direct Oracle access from Delphi without Oracle Client.
