IntelliCode vs. IntelliSense vs. SQL Server Data Access Components vs. SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) Comparison Chart

Visual Studio IntelliCode: AI-assisted development. IntelliCode saves you time by putting what you’re most likely to use at the top of your completion list. IntelliCode recommendations are based on thousands of open source projects on GitHub each with over 100 stars. When combined with the context of your code, the completion list is tailored to promote common practices. IntelliCode isn’t limited to statement completion. Signature help also recommends the most likely overload for your context. IntelliCode can provide recommendations based on your code and seamlessly share them across your team. With this preview feature, you can build a team model to provide recommendations on code that isn’t in the open source domain, such as methods on your own utility classes or domain specific library calls. Integrate our build task into your pipeline to keep your team completions up to date with repository changes.

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.
