AnyDAC for Delphi

AnyDAC is an unique set of Universal Data Access Components for developing database applications on Delphi, C++Builder and FreePascal. With its powerful common architecture AnyDAC enables native high-speed direct access from Delphi to Firebird, SQLite, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, DB2, SQL Anywhere, Advantage DB, Interbase, Access, Informix and more.

Based on 10 years of experience writing native drivers for the database back-ends, AnyDAC was built as powerful access layer that supports all that the features needed to build real-world high-load applications. AnyDAC provides a common API for accessing different database back-ends, without giving up access to unique database-specific features, or compromising on performance.

AnyDAC for Delphi 5.0.3 will support RAD Studio XE2. This first article shows how to setup Delphi x64 compilation, how to configure AnyDAC for x64 environment, what benefits and performance will get application. All, what you need to know about Delphi / AnyDAC / Win x64.

Unified API
AnyDAC for Delphi provides a range of features that help abstract the differences between DBMS, making it easy to write code that does not have to be concerned about different DBMS dialects or other subtle differences between DBMS.
 
Personalized API
Just because AnyDAC for Delphi provides unified access to different DBMS, that does not mean you need to give up using the powerful and advanced features that make these databases unique ! AnyDAC for Delphi native drivers provide the first class personalized access to the DBMS-specific features.
 
Data Access Engine
AnyDAC for Delphi datasets TADQuery, TADMemTable, TADStoredProc, TADTable are built on the top of powerful ADO.NET-like data access engine for Delphi Win32. The lightweighted, effective and flexible engine API enables to use it directly in the applications and serves as a powerfull ground to the datasets API.
 
Data Access Performance
Applications of all types will benefit from AnyDAC for Delphi high performance. For that our team has deeply optimized AnyDAC Delphi code and introduced multiple performance features. To prove the AnyDAC performance, we have created and performed benchmarks.
