MySQL Data Access Components

Professional,Enterprise

Core Lab

MySQL Data Access Components (MyDAC) library offers a set of
nonvisual components for Borland Delphi and C++ Builder. They provide
access to MySQL database and are an alternative to a standard
way of accessing databases using BDE and ODBC.

Using BDE in database applications amounts to the following data path
between server and client:

[MySQL] <-> [ODBC] <-> [SQL Links] <-> [BDE] <-> [Client application]

MyDAC works directly through native MySQL interface.
Applications with MyDAC components access server directly:

[MySQL] <-> [Client application]

Using MySQL Data Access gives you the following advantages:

- Direct access to MySQL data. No distributing, installing and configuring the BDE and ODBC;
- Doesn’t require MySQL’s software on client side with Direct option and works directly through TCP/IP;
