Requirements

UniDAC is a product joining functionality of such data access solutions as ODAC, SDAC, MyDAC, and IBDAC. Requirements of UniDAC depend only on used providers. Detailed requirements for each provider can be found in the Requirements topic in the UniDAC Help documentation.

Installation

Compiled versions of UniDAC are installed automatically by the UniDAC Installer for all supported IDEs. Versions of UniDAC with Source Code must be installed manually. For more information, see the Installation topic of the UniDAC Help documentation.

It is important to know that UniDAC, ODAC, SDAC, MyDAC, and IBDAC use the common base packages, so product compatibility is provided for the current build only. In the other words, if you upgrade one of the installed providers, it may conflict with older builds of other products. In order to continue using the products simultaneously, you should upgrade all of them at the same time.

UniDAC comes with full documentation, which includes a detailed reference for all the UniDAC components and classes and set of articles that highlight UniDAC advanced functionality. The UniDAC documentation is integrated into your IDE at install time. It can be invoked from the UniDAC menu added to the Menu Bar, or by pressing F1 in an object inspector or on a selected code segment.
