VCL Components (Visual Component Library)

What is a VCL? VCL, short for Visual Component Library, is a type of component or control that you can use in Delphi or call from C++ Builder. A Delphi component can be used to add functionality to your Delphi application or project, without spending a lot of time writing it yourself.

Typical examples of Delphi components are: Delphi PDF, Delphi grid & Delphi chart controls. The Delphi VCL or Delphi control products that you find listed here in this VCL product gallery can also be used to carry out non-visual tasks. So you will find Delphi 2009 downloads or downloads for Delphi 6 that are Delphi controls that allow you to send short message texts from your Delphi app, giving you SMS Delphi functionality or that compress data using a Zip Delphi component library function.

You will find many bestselling VCL components here including DevExpress controls, with their complete range of visual GUI VCL components, including Express QuantumGrid, a Delphi data grid. The Delphi DevExpress products are all available as Delphi VCL components and there are free VCL downloads available as trials, so that you can test their VCL Windows products out for yourself.

There are also: charting VCL controls from Steema, Internet comms VCL Delphi components from /n Software used for sending and receiving email via SMTP or POP or for transferring files using FTP or HTTP protocols, plus reporting VCL components from FastReports, PDF VCL components from wpCubed, also with wpCubed WPTools RTF Delphi controls or richedit Delphi components and Oracle Data Access (ODAC) VCL components from DevArt, plus many, many more useful Delphi components for your Delphi software or C++ Builder apps.

MySQL (MySQL Tools & MySQL Libraries)

What is MySQL? MySQL is an relational database management system (RDBMS) that can store your data on a server or multiple servers in a multi-user environment. As MySQL is able to manage data in a multi-user and multi-server environment, it can therefore handle large numbers of users and large volumes of data. MySQL is available under a free software license (GNU Public License) and as such MySQL is an open source database. MySQL is owned by SUN Microsystems, now part of the Oracle Corporation.

In this filtered view of our full product catalog you will find MySQL tools, MySQL libraries, MySQL plugins and MySQL extensions aimed at MySQL developers. For example, there is a MySQL component library for data access from Delphi as a VCL, from C++ Builder as a MySQL library etc. or from a .NET programming environment.

For the MySQL administrator, there are also MySQL admin tools, MySQL database tools and other MySQL utilities to make your day to day MySQL database management tasks easier. For example, there is a MySQL tool for carrying out MySQL Database Administrator (DBA) activities using a visual graphical user interface (GUI), make it more efficient to carry out MySQL DBAdmin tasks. There is also a MySQL admin tool that helps with with MySQL monitoring, MySQL management and MySQL tuning to achieve better MySQL database performance.

There is therefore a variety of MySQL software to act as a MySQL plugin in your next MySQL development project and a variety of MySQL db tools - so hopefully you will be able to find the right MySQL database tool for the MySQL problem you are trying to solve.
