Connect PostgreSQL to Delphi and Lazarus with PgDAC

PostgreSQL Data Access Components (PgDAC) is a library of components that provides ability to connect 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 database applications that utilize the PostgreSQL connect 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.

Native Connectivity to PostgreSQL

PgDAC-based DB applications are easy to deploy, do not require installation of other data provider layers (such as BDE or ODBC), and that's why they can work faster than the ones based on standard Delphi data connectivity solutions. Moreover, PgDAC provides an additional opportunity to work with PostgreSQL directly via TCP/IP without involving PostgreSQL Client - it's never been easier to connect to PSQL.

Wide Coverage of PostgreSQL Features

PgDAC allows developers to optimize their database applications and harness the full capabilities of PostgreSQL. PgDAC features complete support for fast record insertion, Asynchronous Notification, PostgreSQL sequences, retrieving the last inserted OID value, notices, and more.

What our customers say

Just wanted to say I thing the PgDAC components are the best on the market for Delphi and the fact you don't need libpq.dll is simply amazing and is a huge advantage when using PostgreSQL in a corporate environment as you dont have to worry about deploying libpq.dll, and unless you compile your own libpq.dll, the stock ones have tons of dependencies that you also have to included with your app, but not with Devart! :)
