Data Access Components for MySQL

MySQL (Structured Query Language)is a program for creating, maintaining and managing the organizational database in Relational DataBase Management Systems (RDBMS). MySQL acts as a server which provides access to a number of databases to multiple users. The open source project demands for the availability of a complete database management system, which in turn, requires the implementation of MySQL. Apart from this, most of the web applications and popular websites like YouTube, Nokia, Flickr, Google etc. choose MySQL as the preferred server database system. For successful database access of MySQL by various programs and applications, you require extensive and comprehensive utilities. Data Access Components for MySQL v.6.10 provides a set of components for such purposes.

Data Access Components for MySQL v.6.10 by Devart is a shareware program which features a comprehensive library of components for providing direct and complete access to the databases of MySQL servers. Such database can be accessed from a number of applications like C++ builder 2009, Embarcadero RAD Studio 2010, Delphi 2005, Borland Developer Studio 2006, Turbo C++, Turbo Delphi for .NET, CodeGear RAD Studio 2007, Delphi 5/6/7 etc. MyDAC can directly work through MySQL client library, and at the same time, can connect to MySQL servers too. It facilitates the programmers in developing quick and straightforward applications for accessing MySQL databases. Its main advantage is that it does not require data provider layers like ODBC and ODE for accessing database, and thus, can access the MySQL database in a direct and simplified manner. It can work on TCP/IP and thus does not require client side application of MySQL.
