MySQL Data Access Components vs. Oracle Data Access Components vs. PostgreSQL Data Access Components vs. Solver SDK Comparison Chart

Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) is a library of components that provides native connectivity to Oracle 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. The ODAC library is designed to help programmers develop faster and more native Oracle database applications. ODAC, a high-performance and feature-rich Oracle connectivity solution, is an efficient native alternative to the Borland Database Engine (BDE) and standard dbExpress driver. It provides both possibilities of connection to Oracle through native Oracle data access and direct Oracle access from Delphi without Oracle Client.

Use optimization and simulation models in your desktop, Web or mobile application. Use the same high-level objects (like Problem, Solver, Variable and Function), collections, properties and methods across different programming languages. The same object-oriented API is exposed "over the wire" through Web Services WS-* standards to remote clients in PHP, JavaScript, C# and other languages. Procedural languages can use conventional calls that correspond naturally to the properties and methods of the Object-Oriented API. Linear and quadratic programming, mixed-integer programming, smooth nonlinear optimization, global optimization, and non-smooth evolutionary and tabu search are all included. The world's best optimizers, from Gurobi™, XPRESS™ and MOSEK™ for linear, quadratic and conic models to KNITRO™, SQP and GRG methods for nonlinear models "plug into" Solver SDK. Easily create a sparse DoubleMatrix object with 1 million rows and columns.
