Provide access to MySQL database server for Delphi/C++ Builder
MySQL Data Access Components (MyDAC) library offers a set of nonvisual components for Borland Delphi, C++ Builder and Kylix. They provide access to MySQL database server. You can use MyDAC as an alternative to a standard way of accessing databases using Borland Database Engine (BDE) or dbExpress.
MyDAC can work using MySQL client or native MySQL network protocol. In case of using MySQL protocol directly MyDAC doesn't require client library and requires only TCP/IP protocol. This feature allows to build really thin database application.
Using BDE or dbExpress in MySQL oriented client/server applications has some deficiencies. In many cases BDE and dbExpress community are unable to employ server specific features. Also BDE must tolerate excessive usage of resources, reduced speed of processing data, restricted distribution of an application and its administration.
