MySQL Data Access Components (MyDAC) Features

• Native Connectivity to MySQL - MyDAC-based DB applications are easy to deploy, do not require installation of other data provider layers (such as BDE or ODBC), and that's why they can work faster than the ones based on standard Delphi data connectivity solutions. Moreover, MyDAC provides an additional opportunity to work with MySQL directly without involving MySQL client library.
• Wide Coverage of MySQL Features - By providing access to the most advanced database functionality, MyDAC allows developers to harness the full capabilities of the MySQL server and optimize their database applications. MyDAC provides complete support of Embedded server, secure connection and MySQL administration tasks.
• Cross-Platform Solution for Delphi, C++Builder, and Lazarus - MyDAC is a cross-platform solution for developing applications using various IDEs: RAD Studio, Delphi, C++Builder, Lazarus (and FPC) on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and FreeBSD for both x86 and x64 platforms. MyDAC also provides support for the FireMonkey platform, which allows you to develop visually spectacular high-performance desktop and mobile native applications.
• High Development Productivity with MyDAC - It includes various GUI tools that will increase your productivity: dbMonitor allows monitoring activity of your DB applications, Dataset Manager simplifies DataSet and DB controls tweaking, dbForge Fusion for MySQL provides an easier way to explore and maintain existing DBs, design compound SQL statements and queries, as well as manipulate data.
• Direct Mode - Allows your application to work with MySQL directly without involving MySQL client library, thus significantly facilitating deployment and configuration of your applications.
• Mobile Development - Development for iOS and Android mobile devices using MyDAC becomes easier, as MyDAC allows your mobile applications to work with MySQL database as simply as desktop applications do.
• DB Compatibility - Supports MySQL servers and MariaDB servers. Also provides compatibility with Microsoft Azure Database for MySQL and Google Cloud for MySQL.
• IDE Compatibility - The product is compatible with the latest IDE versions and editions including Community Edition.
• Data Type Mapping - If you want to make custom correspondence between MySQL Server and Delphi data types, you can use a simple and flexible Data Type Mapping engine provided by MyDAC.
• Development Platforms - Now you can develop not only VCL-based applications in Delphi and LCL-based ones in Lazarus, but also use the newest FireMonkey application development platform.
• Performance - All the components and libraries are designed to help you write high-performance, lightweight data access layers, therefore they use advanced data access algorithms and techniques of optimization.
• Monitoring - Use the dbMonitor tool to monitor and analyze all the DB calls made by your application using MyDAC. dbMonitor performs per­-component tracing of SQL statement execution, commits, rollbacks, etc.
