InterBase and Firebird Data Access Components vs. MySQL Data Access Components vs. TablePlus vs. VBScript 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.

VBScript is a programming language included with Microsoft Internet Explorer. For other browsers, contact your vendor about support. VBScript 2.0 (or later) is recommended for use with Agent. Although earlier versions of VBScript may work with Agent, they lack certain functions that you may want to use. You can download VBScript 2.0 and obtain further information on VBScript at the Microsoft Downloads site and the Microsoft VBScript site. With VBScript (2.0 or later), you can verify whether Microsoft Agent is installed by trying to create the object and checking to see if it exists. The following sample demonstrates how to check for the Agent control without triggering an auto-download of the control.
