Azure Database for MySQL vs. GaussDB vs. PostgreSQL Data Access Components vs. SQL Server Data Access Components Comparison Chart

GaussDB (for MySQL) is a next generation MySQL-compatible, enterprise-class distributed database service. It uses a decoupled compute and storage architecture and data functions virtualization (DFV) storage that auto-scales up to 128 TB per DB instance. There is virtually no risk of data loss. It supports millions of QPS throughputs and cross-AZ deployment, combining the performance and reliability of commercial databases with the flexibility of open source databases. By decoupling compute and storage, connecting them through RDMA, and using a "log as database" architecture, you can get seven times the performance of open-source databases. To scale read capacity and performance, you can add up to 15 read replicas for a primary node within minutes. GaussDB(for MySQL) is fully compatible with MySQL. You can easily migrate your MySQL databases to GaussDB(for MySQL) without reconstructing existing applications and without sharding.

Enjoy the highest performance and unlimited possibilities when working with SQL Server. 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. SDAC-based DB applications are easy to deploy, and do not require the installation of other data provider layers.
