MySQL Data Access Components Reviews & Product Details

I've been using the MySQL Data Access Components with Delphi for many years. The components just work. I don't recall ever running into a bug. Support via their forum is responsive when I have a question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In general the documentation is good. But sometimes I look at the source code to better understand what the components are doing. Several units have similar names, so it can take a bit of effort to trace through to see what code is doing what. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MyDAC library is user friendly and very easy to install. MyDAC Components follow strictly the Embarcadero Philosophy, so they do not appear like an external product but rather like a native extensions that help the programmers interfacing MySQL databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's hard to find a technical aspect to dislike. Technically, the MyDAC libraries do their work in an excellent way. I think that the only thing I do not like is the amount of the renewal subscription. Compared with other softwares I believe it is too high. In few years it has raised up and now I believe it is over its real value. But, honestly, I have also to say that Devart follows its customers very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The components are very easy to use and by far provide the best option available for accessing and using MySQL with Delphi. The TQuery component has to be my favorite. The ease of use and flexibility is unparalleled in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The online documentation could be better. On the rare occasion when I have to try and figure out how to use a particular component, or need to find info on a certain property, there isn't much in the way of description when I pull it up. So there's some guesswork left to do.

However, the question gets answered pretty thoroughly when I've contacted support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am a Delphi Developer for over 20 years. In recent yearrs I have been involved in developing a sophisticated SaaS product for the legal profession.

I have used MyDAC for several projects over many years. I like MyDAC because it works straight out of the box with very little learning curve. Additionally it is integrated with Devart SecureBridge which means I do not have to ask clients to install OpenSSL. I also use LiteDAC for the SQLite elements in my system which again work like a dream.

MyDAC is professional, extremely well developed and very reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
