Vendor's Description (from Readme files, web site, etc.):
With the Direct Oracle Access component set for Delphi 2, 3,
4 or C++Builder you can access any Oracle database directly,
skipping the BDE. These easy to use components give you the
highest possible performance and allow you to use all Oracle
specific features, eliminating the distribution and
configuration problems of the BDE.
-
Native support for Oracle8
- No distributing, installing and configuring of the
BDE
- You can use any 32 bits Delphi/C++Builder version to
develop Client/Server applications
- No BDE overhead or tradeoffs: your queries will run up
to five times faster
- The use of variants makes programming easy (null values,
runtime type information)
- Automatic Master/Detail configuration using
TOracleDataSet
- Automatically enforce server-constraints on the client
using TOracleDataSet
- Make use of server generated values (defaults, trigger
modified columns) in a TOracleDataSet
- Use PL/SQL blocks for server logic in your
application
- Increase batch performance with array DML
- Easy access to stored packages
- Many Oracle specific features supported (Savepoints,
SQLTrace, SetTransaction, ...)
- Compatible with SQL*Net 1 to Net8 and with Personal
Oracle Lite to Oracle8
- Handle dbms_alert signals and dbms_pipe messages in the
background of your application
BDE Alternatives Guide Comments:
Direct Oracle Access can be used in Delphi 2, but only
supports data-aware controls in Delphi 3/4.
The Object version, listed above in the pricing section,
supports Oracle8 LOB's and Objects extensions. Extensions like
this are generally only available with native interfaces, so if
you need them, Direct Oracle Access is your best (and only)
option!
