Vendor's Description (from Readme files, web site, etc.):

Diamond Access is a set of Delphi components, that provide high-speed performance when working with Microsoft's Access databases. Diamond Access uses Data Access Objects 3.5 (DAO) to work directly with Jet engine, providing fastest possible interface to Access databases.

Key features:

  • High speed - fast, native access to Jet databases without BDE.
  • Compatibility with standard Delphi data-aware components.
  • True BDE replacement, Diamond Access does not emulate BDE behavior. It is a true TDataSet descendent.
  • Full Access to DAO (You can use original DAO objects through component's properties).

Latest Updates:

  • Diamond Access now supports secured databases
  • New components TDAOQueryDef - support of Access stored queries (QueryDefs).
  • New help files
  • Added filters and sort orders for all dataset objects
