About InterBase Data Access Components

InterBase Data Access Components (IBDAC) is a library of non-visual components for Delphi, Delphi for .NET, C++Builder, and Lazarus (Free Pascal) that provides access to InterBase, Firebird and Yaffil database servers.

InterBase (and FireBird) Data Access Components (IBDAC) is a library of components that provides native connectivity to InterBase, Firebird and Yaffil from Delphi, C++Builder, Lazarus (and Free Pascal) on Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, Android, Linux, and FreeBSD for both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. IBDAC-based applications connect to the server directly using the InterBase client. IBDAC is designed to help programmers develop faster and cleaner InterBase database applications.

IBDAC is a complete replacement for standard InterBase connectivity solutions. It presents an efficient alternative to InterBase Express Components, the Borland Database Engine (BDE), and the standard dbExpress driver for access to InterBase.

It is available in the following editions:

• IBDAC Standard: The Standard edition includes the IBDAC basic connectivity components and IBDAC Migration Wizard. IBDAC Standard Edition is a cost-effective solution for database application developers who are looking for overall high-performance connectivity to InterBase.
• IBDAC Professional: The Professional edition shows off the full power of IBDAC, enhancing IBDAC Standard Edition with support for InterBase-specific functionality and advanced dataset management features.

You can get Source Access to the implementation of all the component classes in IBDAC by purchasing the special IBDAC Professional Edition with Source Code. The source codes of DataSet Manager and Migration Wizard are not distributed.

Key Features:

• Performance: All the components and libraries are designed to help you write high-performance, lightweight data access layers, therefore they use advanced data access algorithms and techniques of optimization.
• Mobile Development: Develompent for iOS and Android mobile devices using IBDAC becomes still easier, as IBDAC allows your mobile applications to work with InterBase database as simply as desktop applications do.
• 64-bit Development: IBDAC doesn’t limit your choice of the development platform. Now you can develop for 32-bit and 64-bit platforms with Delphi and Lazarus (and FPC).
• Data Type Mapping: If you want to make custom correspondence between InterBase and Delphi data types, you can use a simple and flexible Data Type Mapping engine provided by IBDAC.
• IDE Compatibility: Our product is compatible with the latest IDE versions: Embarcadero RAD Studio 10.2 Tokyo, Delphi 10.2 Tokyo, C++Builder 10.2 Tokyo, Lazarus (and FPC). It is also compatible with the previous IDE versions since Delphi 6 and C++Builder 6.
• Development Platforms: Now you can develop not only VCL-based applications in Delphi and LCL-based ones in Lazarus, but also use the newest FireMonkey application development platform.
• DB Compatibility: Our product supports InterBase server versions 5.x up to XE, Firebird 3.x, 2.x, 1.x and Yaffil
• Monitoring: Use our freeware dbMonitor tool to monitor and analyze all the DB calls made by your application using IBDAC. dbMonitor performs percomponent tracing of SQL statement execution, commits, rollbacks, etc.

InterBase Data Access Components (IBDAC) – Features

InterBase Data Access Components (IBDAC) is a library of components that provides access to InterBase, Firebird and Yaffil database servers. IBDAC uses the InterBase client directly to connect to the server. The IBDAC library is designed to help programmers develop faster and cleaner InterBase database applications.

Key Features

The following list describes the main features of InterBase Data Access Components.

• Direct access to server data. Does not require installation of other data provider layers (such as BDE and ODBC) VCL, VCL.NET, and CLX versions of library available
• Full support of the latest versions of InterBase, Firebird and Yaffil database servers
• Support for all InterBase data types
• Disconnected Model with automatic connection control for working with data offline
• Local Failover for detecting connection loss and implicitly re-executing certain operations
• All types of local sorting and filtering, including by calculated and lookup fields
• Automatic data updating with TIBCQuery and TIBCTable components
• Unicode and national charsets support
• InterBase Events support
• Advanced script execution functionality with TIBCScript component
• Support for using Macros in SQL
• Easy migration from BDE and IBX with Migration Wizard
• Lets you use Professional Edition of Delphi, C++Builder, and Kylix to develop client/server applications
• Includes annual IBDAC Subscription with Priority Support
• Licensed royalty-free per developer, per team, or per site

IBDAC includes the following components:

• TIBCConnection – sets and controls connection to InterBase database
• TIBCTransaction – provides discrete transaction control over database connections
• TIBCQuery – uses SQL statements to retrieve data from InterBase table or tables, automatically generates missing INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE statements
• TIBCTable – lets you retrieve and update data in a single table without writing SQL statements
• TIBCStoredProc – executes stored procedures and functions, allows to edit cursor data returned as parameter
• TIBCSQL – executes SQL statements and stored procedures, which do not return rowsets
• TIBCScript – executes sequence of SQL statements
• TIBCUpdateSQL – lets you tune update operations for a DataSet component
• TIBCDataSource – provides an interface between a IBDAC dataset components and data-aware controls on a form
• TIBCAlerter – transfers messages between connections
• TIBCSQLMonitor – allows to monitor dynamic SQL executing in IBDAC-based applications
• TIBCConnectDialog – serves for entering username, password and server name
• TCRDBGrid – extends TDBGrid capabilities, provides visual access to filters and incremental search
• TVirtualTable – dataset stores data in memory
• IBCDataAdapter – .NET component, uses TDataSet as data source for retrieving and saving data to System.Data.DataSet
• TCRBatchMove – transfers data between all types of TDataSet descendants
