Universal Data Access Components Reviews & Product Details

Universal Data Access Components (UniDAC) is a library of components that provides direct access to multiple databases from Delphi and C++Builder including Community Edition, as well as Lazarus (and Free Pascal) on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android for both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. One product that provides unified access to multiple databases and cloud applications: Oracle, SQL Server, SQL Azure, Firebird, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Salesforce, QuickBooks, etc. UniDAC provides transparent server-independent interfaces for working with different databases and lets you change the client engine for a specific server type just by changing the single connection option. It means that you can easily switch between different database servers in your cross-database UniDAC-based application.

"Consistent, reliable DAC year after year"

5/5

What do you like best about Universal Data Access Components?

The reliability and quality of the code. The wide-ranging DBMS support has been great and again consistent throughout the years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Universal Data Access Components?

The increase in cost when API providers were added doesn't help my current business but I understand how it could very well be extremely valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Universal Data Access Components solving and how is that benefiting you?

Delphi Professional database server access. Delphi Professional does not come out of the box with support for anything except locally installed databases like SQLite. UniDAC removes that gap without needing to move up to the Enterprise variant of Delphi. The first code I wrote against UniDAC in 2009 compiles today with the current UniDAC release. That stability has saved a tremendous amount of labor. When leveraging UniDAC, our solutions have fewer bugs as a result of UniDAC's quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It is to have control of all the BD in one place"

4/5

What do you like best about Universal Data Access Components?

As a DBA it is important to have access to all the databases that we monitor from one place, this tool facilitates direct access to them and the execution of SQL statements for all the database engines, it has documentation, but it is quite intuitive if you find yourself in the database world Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Universal Data Access Components?

Everything good is expensive, the Express version that is to which I could have access, limits the connection with all the engines, as the products must be acquired for each one Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
