dbExpress Driver for MySQL Overview
dbExpress is a database-independent layer that defines common interface to
provide fast access to MySQL from Delphi and C++Builder on
Windows and Mac OS X for both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms.
For this server, dbExpress provides a driver as an independent library that
implements the common dbExpress interface 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 driver
in the same way as the one supplied by Embarcadero.
dbExpress driver for MySQL provides access to MySQL database. It can work
using native MySQL network protocol or MySQL client. If you do not use
Direct mode, MySQL client library is required.
Native Connectivity to MySQL
Applications based on dbExpress Driver for MySQL 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, dbExpress Driver for MySQL provides
an additional opportunity to work with MySQL directly without involving
MySQL client library.
Cross-Platform Solution for Delphi and C++Builder
dbExpress Driver for MySQL is a cross-platform solution for developing
applications using various IDEs: RAD Studio, Delphi and C++Builder on Windows
and Mac OS X for both x86 and x64 platforms. dbExpress Driver for MySQL also
provides support for the FireMonkey platform, which allows you to develop
visually spectacular high-performance native applications for Windows and Mac OS
X.

64-bit Development
dbExpress Driver for MySQL doesn't limit your choice of the development
platform. Now you can develop for 32-bit and 64-bit platforms with Delphi.
Monitoring
Use our freeware dbMonitor tool
to monitor and analyze all the DB calls made by your application using
dbExpress Driver for MySQL. dbMonitor performs percomponent tracing of SQL
statement execution, commits, rollbacks, etc.
