MySQL Data Access Components vs. PostgreSQL Data Access Components vs. SQLite vs. dbExpress Drivers Comparison Chart

Enjoy the highest performance and unlimited possibilities when working with PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL Data Access Components (PgDAC) is a library of components that provides native connectivity to PostgreSQL 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. PgDAC is designed to help programmers develop really lightweight, faster, and cleaner PostgreSQL database applications without deploying any additional libraries. PgDAC is a complete replacement for standard PostgreSQL connectivity solutions and presents an efficient alternative to the Borland Database Engine (BDE) and standard dbExpress driver for access to PostgreSQL. It provides direct access to PostgreSQL without PostgreSQL Client. PgDAC allows developers to optimize their database applications and harness the full capabilities of PostgreSQL.

dbExpress is a database-independent layer that defines common interface to provide fast access to SQL database servers from Delphi and C++Builder including Community Edition, on Windows and macOS (32-bit and 64-bit) and Linux (64-bit) platforms. For each supported server, dbExpress provides a driver as an independent library that implements the common dbExpress interfaces for processing queries and stored procedures. As data-access layer is thin and simple, dbExpress provides high-performance database connectivity and is easy to deploy. You can use our drivers in the same way as the ones supplied by Embarcadero.
