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.
IBDAC is heavily performance- and stress-tested to provide the fastest available native connectivity to InterBase servers.
IBDAC features advanced local data handling and comprehensive server functionality coverage, including InterBase Events, Firebird RETURNING clauses and EXECUTE BLOCK syntax, and support for default values in stored procedures.
IBDAC is easy to use in both new and existing applications. It is a complete replacement for standard InterBase connectivity solutions and presents an efficient alternative to InterBase Express Components and the Borland Database Engine for access to InterBase.. Comes with full documentation and a large set of demo projects.
Versions of IBDAC are available for CodeGear Delphi 2007 for Win32, Borland Development Studio 2006, Turbo Delphi, Turbo Delphi for .NET, Turbo C++, Delphi 5/6/7/2005, C++Builder 5,6, and Kylix 2,3. IBDAC supports InterBase versions 5 and up, Firebird, and Yaffil.
