InterBase Data Access Components

IBDAC is a VCL/VCL.NET/CLX component library for fast direct access to InterBase, Firebird, and Yaffil servers from Delphi, C++Builder, and Kylix. Includes full support for server data types and functionality, Disconnected Model and Local failover.

Features: InterBase Data Access Components (IBDAC) is a VCL/VCL.NET/CLX component library. It can provide fast direct access to InterBase, Firebird, and Yaffil database servers. IBDAC uses the InterBase client directly to connect to the server. It is designed to help programmers develop faster and cleaner InterBase database applications. It is a replacement for standard InterBase connectivity solutions and is an efficient alternative to InterBase Express Components and the Borland Database Engine for access to InterBase.It is a database wrapper built specifically for the InterBase server. IBDAC offers wide coverage of the InterBase feature set, and emphasizes optimized data access strategies. You can develop applications in development environments like Delphi, C++Builder, and Kylix.

IBDAC is performance and stress-tested to provide a robust solution. IBDAC features local data handling and server functionality coverage. It also covers InterBase Events, Firebird RETURNING clauses and EXECUTE BLOCK syntax, and support for default values in stored procedures. The disconnected model with auto connection control for work off-line. Local fail-over management of connection loss and implicitly re-executing necessary operations. Local sorting and filtering is supported. Data updating by TIBCQuery and TIBCTable components as well as Unicode and national character sets are supported.Versions of IBDAC are available for Embarcadero RAD Studio 2010, CodeGear Delphi 2009, C++Builder 2009, CodeGear RAD Studio 2007, Delphi 2007 for Win32, C++Builder 2007, Turbo Delphi, Turbo Delphi for .NET, Turbo C++, BDS 2006, Delphi 2005/7/6/5, C++Builder 6/5, FreePascal for Win32 and Linux, and Kylix 3/2.

Overall: Quite a comprehensive set of features for development needs.
