Create ODBC Connection in Lazarus with Devart ODBC Drivers

Lazarus is a cross-platform, Delphi-compatible IDE powered by Free Pascal and designed for creating both open-source and commercial applications. It runs on various platforms, including Windows, Linux, macOS, and Raspberry Pi, providing a consistent programming experience across all systems.

Lazarus, being a Delphi-compatible platform, greatly benefits from integrating Devart Delphi Data Access Components (DAC), dedicated tools for Delphi developers that enable direct access to popular databases and clouds through ODBC from within the Lazarus environment.

Key Features

Direct mode

Native connection to traditional databases and cloud-based services from Lazarus using an ODBC driver. No need to use client software to fetch your inventory table or a list of orders from popular data stores like Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and many other databases, as well as cloud services like Salesforce.

SQL data type mapping

Full support and mapping of data source-specific SQL data types to the standard ODBC data types. Access diverse data stores from Lazarus through a unified interface with exceptional speed. You can create custom mappings between data source fields and ODBC data types.

Secure connection

Devart ODBC drivers use SSL / SSH and HTTPS tunneling to protect user data as it flows between a remote server and Lazarus over the Internet. Tunneling allows you to send communications securely between machines.

ANSI SQL-92 standard support for cloud services

Devart ODBC drivers efficiently resolve one of the major challenges of retrieving data from email marketing, CRM, accounting and other cloud applications into Lazarus: their lack of adequate API support for SQL-92 standard SQL commands. Devart drivers are designed to get the most out of cloud service APIs.

Connect Lazarus to ODBC data source and access data in 3 simple steps

Install the driver and configure an ODBC data source in the driver settings
01. Install UniDAC, a universal tool for Delphi developers that includes ODBC providers for popular data sources.
Set up the data source
Start Lazarus and configure project components
02. Add a UniConnection component to your form, select ODBC as Provider, and choose the appropriate DSN from the Server list.
Start Lazarus and configure project components
Run a query against the data storage
03. Add a UniTable component to the form, select the desired table, and it will automatically load the data.
Run a query against the data storage

ODBC Data Connectors

Fast and unified access to databases

We offer you optimal data access by means of ODBC and native database client libraries. However, you can avoid using client libraries, since our ODBC drivers are able to connect via the native protocol directly without using client software at all.

Why pick Devart ODBC Drivers for Lazarus?

Fully Unicode-compliant ODBC drivers

Fully Unicode-compliant ODBC drivers

Unicode is the universal standard for encoding characters in most languages. Our ODBC drivers provide a Unicode-compliant way to work with strings and characters in databases: they are capable of mapping Unicode function calls and string data types to ANSI encoding.

All major versions of data stores are supported

All major versions of data stores are supported

Our ODBC drivers can be used to interact and perform SQL CRUD operations on popular traditional databases and cloud services from Lazarus, such as MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Salesforce, or Mailchimp.

Regular feature update rollouts and timely bug fixes

Regular feature updates and timely bug fixes

We frequently release new versions of ODBC drivers with new capabilities or enhancements for already existing features. Changes and new features are added to the roadmap based on customer feedback. Bug fixes and minor improvements are released as nightly builds to resolve issues in a timely fashion.

Strict compliance with Microsoft ODBC 3.52 Specification

Strict compliance with Microsoft ODBC 3.52 Specification

Our ODBC drivers provide full support for the standard Open Database Connectivity API functions and data types. ODBC interface allows Lazarus to connect to ODBC databases using the SQL language. Additionally, we have designed Advanced Connection String parameters that implement different types of behavior.

Exceptional SQL query performance and bulk updates

Exceptional SQL query performance and bulk updates

Our ODBC drivers allow you to perform bulk record update in a single update statement while maintaining decent update speed. When you need to update a table with a million of records, you can use a single update operation which significantly reduces execution time compared to row-by-row operations.
