MySQL Data Access Component (MyDAC) is a component library that allows direct access to MySQL and MariaDB from Delphi and C++Builder (including Community Edition), as well as Lazarus (and Free Pascal) on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Windows. Android for 32-bit and 64-bit platforms.
MyDAC based applications can directly connect to MySQL servers or work through MySQL client libraries. MyDAC aims to help programmers develop faster and cleaner MySQL database applications.
MyDAC is a complete alternative to the standard MySQL connectivity solution and provides an effective alternative to the Borland Database Engine (BDE) and standard dbExpress driver for accessing MySQL.
Native connection to MySQL
MyDAC based database applications are easy to deploy and do not require the installation of other data provider layers (such as BDE or ODBC), which is why they can run faster than applications based on standard Delphi data connectivity solutions. Moreover, MyDAC provides additional opportunities to directly use MySQL without involving MySQL client libraries.
MySQL has a wide range of functions
By providing access to the most advanced database functions, MyDAC enables developers to leverage the full functionality of MySQL servers and optimize their database applications. MyDAC provides comprehensive support for embedded servers, secure connections, and MySQL management tasks.
- SSL connection
- Row level and table level locking
- Embedded server
- Service Tasks
- Batch data loading
- Direct connection
- HTTP Tunnel
- Transparent application failover
- Server Management
- And more
Cross platform solution for Delphi, C++Builder, and Lazarus
MyDAC is a cross platform solution for developing applications using various IDEs: RAD Studio, Delphi, C++Builder, Lazarus (and FPC) for x86 and x64 platforms on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and FreeBSD. MyDAC also provides support for the FireMonkey platform, which allows you to develop visually appealing high-performance desktop and mobile native applications.
Secure connection
You can use the SecureBridge component with the data access component to embed SSL, SSH, or HTTP/HTTPS clients into your application to establish a secure connection with the server.
Product Features
Allowing your application to be used directly with MySQL without involving MySQL client libraries greatly simplifies application deployment and configuration.
Mobile development using MyDAC for iOS and Android mobile devices has become easier, as MyDAC allows your mobile applications to use MySQL databases like desktop applications.
Our product supports up to 8.0 MySQL server versions, up to 10. x MariaDB server versions, Microsoft Azure databases for MySQL, Amazon RDS for MySQL, Amazon Aurora, and Google Cloud for MySQL.
Our product is compatible with the latest IDE versions, including community versions: Embarcadero RAD Studio 10.4 Sydney, Delphi 10.4 Sydney, C++Builder 10.4 Sydney, Lazarus (and FPC). It is also compatible with early IDE versions starting from Delphi 6 and C++Builder 6.
If you want to customize the mapping between MySQL Server and Delphi data types, you can use the simple and flexible data type mapping engine provided by MyDAC.
Support all major GUI frameworks: develop VCL applications for Windows or cross platform FMX applications in Delphi, and LCL applications for Windows, macoS, or Linux in Lazarus.
All our components and libraries are designed to help you write a high-performance, lightweight data access layer, so they use advanced data access algorithms and optimization techniques.
Use our freeware dbMonitor tool to monitor and analyze all database calls made by your application using MyDAC. DbMonitor executes SQL statement execution, submission, rollback, and other component based tracking.
