SQL Server Data Access Components vs. SimpleBackups vs. ThinkSQL vs. dbExpress Drivers Comparison Chart

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.

ThinkSQL is a powerful, cross-platform relational database management system designed for modern operating systems and hardware. It aims to comply fully with the ISO SQL standard to provide an open and flexible SQL server for your applications. Compliance with the SQL standard means it supports transactions, sub-selects, views, set operators (union, except, intersect), access privileges and comprehensive referential constraints to ensure the integrity of your data. ThinkSQL uses a multi-versioning engine to provide consistent views of data and concurrent access to rows without locking. The server also has stored procedures and functions (using the standard syntax), and has support for large multimedia objects. It's easy to install, runs on Windows ® and Linux ®, and has native ODBC, JDBC™, dbExpress™ and Python drivers so your applications can connect directly from any platform.
