Oracle Data Access Components vs. Oracle Spatial and Graph vs. TRichView vs. dbExpress Drivers 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.

TRichView is a suite of native Delphi/C++Builder VCL/FireMonkey and Lazarus (Free Pascal) LCL components for displaying, editing, and printing complex rich text documents. TRichView can be used to develop advanced text editors, web/help/book authoring applications, chats and messengers, organizers and diaries, multimedia encyclopedias, and other applications that need a high-quality rich text editor or a hypertext user interface. Supported FireMonkey platforms, Windows, 64-bit macOS. The components support various character attributes (fonts, subscripts/superscripts, colored text background, custom drawn). Documents can contain tables, pictures, images from image lists, footnotes and endnotes, and any Delphi controls. Left, right, center, or justify paragraph alignment, custom margins and indents, multilevel bullets and numbering, background images, print preview, data-aware versions, and more.
