Oracle Data Access Components

Oracle Data Access Components provide a fast and powerful solution for connecting to Oracle databases from various development environments. They are superior to Oracle connectivity options already provided by IDEs (in terms of speed and functionality), and can thus be used as their alternative.

These components can prove to be a convenient solution, even if you do not have Oracle Client installed on the machine, as it is not needed for their functionality. They are also not limited to creating applications based only on VCL, as they can be used in LCL environment and with FireMonkey framework as well, and can be even used for developing mobile apps.

You will not have to install any external libraries or data providers for the components to work, but it is worth mentioning, that your development environment will need to have access to dcu (obj) files, as in the opposite case your applications will not function.

A number of features specific to Oracle databases are supported. Besides supporting various IDEs, these components can be also used on different platforms, supporting both 32 and 64 bit architecture. There are also various tools available to help you with data manipulation, connection monitoring and similar.
