SQL Server Data Access Components Overview

What is SQL Server Data Access Components?

SQL Server Data Access Components (SDAC) is a library of components that provides native connectivity to SQL Server from Delphi and C++Builder including Community Edition, as well as Lazarus (and Free Pascal) for Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android for both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. SDAC-based applications connect to SQL Server directly through OLE DB, which is a native SQL Server interface. SDAC is designed to help programmers develop faster and cleaner SQL Server database applications. SDAC, a high-performance and feature-rich SQL Server connectivity solution, is a complete replacement for standard SQL Server connectivity solutions and presents an efficient native alternative to the Borland Database Engine (BDE) and standard dbExpress driver for access to SQL Server.

What do you like best about SQL Server Data Access Components?

I am a user with more than 10 years of experience with SDAC. It is a product that has exceptional characteristics to use SQL Server, I love it because it is very fast, and that I have databases with 400GB of data and more than 1000 concurrent users, and my applications must respond immediately.

The development time is minimal, since it has automatic generation of queries, properties that make data autorefresh, (hundreds of properties with various functionalities, which saves me thousands of hours of work) and with the dbmonitor it allows me to debug the data step by step. sql statements that run on the server.

I also use a feature to use with unstable networks, since I have users in the rural area who use 3G networks, and they connect to my applications as if they were using any fiber network.

I have worked years before with other connectors such as ADO, dbexpress, Firedac / Anydac, and so far it is the best solution I have found to use Delphi + SQL Server, and I use the same code for my desktop, web and mobile applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Server Data Access Components?

Only thing so far I can't do it is to save a Dataset in a stream with JSON format, for example

MSQuery.SaveToStream (Stream, fsJSON).

It's not a serious problem either, as I have a function that does the same.

but I wouldn't be surprised to find it in future revisions, as each revision includes many new functionalities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SQL Server Data Access Components:

I fully recommend this component for new projects, or if you already have other components, you will not regret migrating, as your work will be easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I developed an application for payment of salaries and assistance of biometric clocks, for a hospital, with SDAC I have been able to have software for thousands of users with a large database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SQL Server Data Access Components?

The components are beginner-friendly. You can easily connect it to your desired SQL server database from Delphi or C++ Builder and access data through the native SQL Server interface, OLE DB. Previously, we used standard data access components and when we encountered some issues with the components, it took longer to get them fixed by the IDE developers. Now we can focus more on the application side which helps us develop faster and cleaner SQL Server database applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Server Data Access Components?

What do you like best about SQL Server Data Access Components?

It is very easy to implement into my project. I had a really easy time implementing it. I just downloaded the product, implemented it into my solution and I was good to go. It is also really easy to download updates. Also it is very easy to purchase updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SQL Server Data Access Components?

The product is a little more expensive that expected.If it was not a expensive I think that I would get more enjoyment out of the product. I do not really like the name that much either. SQL Server Data Access Components is kind of boring and very generic. I am not even really sure what the product is at first glance. We only need this product for some of our legacy software solutions so I am not sure how much we are going to need it in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SQL Server Data Access Components:

It is great software and it does exactly what is needed. It has a great ease of use and there are not problems with its use ability. I did not have any issues implementing this product into my project and I believe If I can do it, a mere lay person, you surely can implement this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We created an application to read divert records from the database and update the PLC for the item to go do a lane. This product does exactly what we require of it. We are renewing our license so that we can receive updates to the product and run with the latest and greatest version of the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
