Unified Connectivity Solution

UniDAC provides transparent server-independent interfaces for working with different databases, and lets you change the client engine for a specific server type just by changing single connection option. It means that you can easily switch between different database servers in your cross-database UniDAC-based application.

Advantages of UniDAC Technology

UniDAC is easy to setup and use. It provides transparent server-independent interface for working with different databases. Selected database provider ensures the best way to perform operations on the server.

Server-Aware Providers

UniDAC chooses the best way specific to the server to perform most operations. Every UniDAC data provider uses server-specific native connectivity. All operations with data are performed by providers automatically considering the selected database server peculiarities.

Cross-Platform Solution for Delphi, C++Builder, and Lazarus

UniDAC is a cross-platform solution for developing applications using various IDEs: RAD Studio, Delphi, C++Builder, Lazarus (and FPC) on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, for both x86 and x64 platforms. UniDAC also provides support for the FireMonkey platform, which allows you to develop visually spectacular high-performance desktop and mobile native applications.

Server-Independent SQL

When developing database applications that allow working with several databases, one of the key points is writing of server-independent SQL. In UniDAC, the server-independent SQL support is implemented by means of the powerful macros engine, producing dynamic SQL by replacing parts of the query statements with user-defined code.

Access Cloud Services

UniDAC allows developing applications that work with data stored in such Cloud services as: BigCommerce, Dynamics 365, FreshBooks, Magento, Mailchimp, NetSuite, Salesforce, Salesforce MC, SugarCRM, QuickBooks, Zoho CRM. For this, it is enough to use UniDAC ODBC provider with any Devart ODBC drivers for Clouds.

Secure Connection

You can use UniDAC with SecureBridge components to embed an SSL, SSH, or HTTP/HTTPS protocols into your application developed in Delphi, C++Builder, Lazarus, or Free Pascal for establishing a secure connection to the server.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is UniDAC?

Universal Data Access Components (UniDAC) is a powerful library of nonvisual cross-database data access components for Delphi, C++Builder, and Lazarus (Free Pascal). The UniDAC library is designed to help programmers develop faster and cleaner cross-database applications. UniDAC completely replaces standard database connectivity solutions and is an effective alternative to Borland Database Engine and dbExpress for accessing databases and cloud services.

How to Install Data Access Components in Delphi?

Before installing a new version of the Data Access Components you've chosen, uninstall any previous version you may have, and check if your new install is compatible with other Devart Data Access Components products you have installed.

To compile UniDAC-based applications, your environment must be configured to have access to the UniDAC libraries. Environment changes are IDE-dependent. For all instructions, replace %UniDAC% with the path to your UniDAC installation directory (for example, Delphi\Bin).
