MySQL Data Access Components vs. SQL Server Data Access Components vs. Storyboard vs. TRichView 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.

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.
