SQLDirect Component Library is a light-weight Borland Database Engine replacement for Borland/CodeGear/Embarcadero Delphi/C++Builder 10.1 Berlin. It uses the native application programming interfaces to access to the following SQL-servers:

IBM DB2 Universal Database
Informix Server
Interbase/Firebird Server
Microsoft SQL Server
MySQL Server
Oracle Database Server
PostgreSQL Server
SQLite Database
Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise and Adaptive Server Anywhere
Unify (Centura, Gupta) SQLBase Server
ODBC datasources
OLEDB datasources

Using of SQLDirect Component Library gives you the following advantages:

connecting to the following SQL servers using 32-bit native application programming interfaces (API): Centura SQLBase Server 6(+), IBM DB2 Universal Database with CAE v5.2, Informix Server 7.2(+), Firebird, Interbase, MySQL 3.23(+), Oracle Server 7.2(+) with SQL*Net 2.2(+), Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL 7.1(+), SQLite, Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise and Adaptive Server Anywhere (through Open Client, which is supported by Anywhere ver.6 as native interface), ODBC and OLEDB datasources.
no distributing, installing and configuring the BDE or ODBC
simultaneous access to the supported servers
using Delphi 5, 6, 7, 9(2005), 10(2006), 2007, 2009, 2010, XE-XE7 or C++Builder 5, 6, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, XE-XE7 (Pro and above) to develop Client/Server applications
query with an updatable result set
query with macro support
table component
thread safe
BLOB-fields (including LOB and BFILE for Oracle8)
stored procedure support (with mutiple result sets for IBM DB2, Microsoft and Sybase SQL Server)
bi-directional and unidirectional result sets
cached updates
record filtering
support of data-aware components
InfoPower support
using images stored by Centura SqlWindows(or Team Developer) in their proprietary format
interfaces (public methods and properties) of SQLDirect components are compatible with standard BDE data access components (TSession, TDatabase, TQuery ..).

Thread Safety Note

Thread safety is supported by the following software:

Oracle SQL*Net 2.3 or above
Centura SQLBase Ver. 7 or above
IBM DB2 Ver. 5.2 or above
Microsoft SQL Server Ver. 6 or above
MySQL
Sybase ASE and ASA through OpenClient Ver. 11.1 or above
