MySQL Data Access Components vs. Oracle Data Access Components vs. dbExpress Drivers vs. jQuery Comparison Chart

Enjoy the highest performance and unlimited possibilities when working with MySQL. MySQL Data Access Components (MyDAC) is a library of components that provides direct access to MySQL and MariaDB 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. Applications based on MyDAC can connect directly to MySQL server or work through the MySQL client library. MySQL Data Access Components are designed to help programmers develop MySQL database applications faster and easier. MyDAC is a complete replacement for standard MySQL connectors and presents an efficient alternative to the Borland Database Engine (BDE) and standard dbExpress driver for access to MySQL.

dbExpress is a database-independent layer that defines common interface to provide fast access to SQL database servers from Delphi and C++Builder including Community Edition, on Windows and macOS (32-bit and 64-bit) and Linux (64-bit) platforms. For each supported server, dbExpress provides a driver as an independent library that implements the common dbExpress interfaces for processing queries and stored procedures. As data-access layer is thin and simple, dbExpress provides high-performance database connectivity and is easy to deploy. You can use our drivers in the same way as the ones supplied by Embarcadero.
