Oracle Data Access Components for Delphi6
-
Version
3.50
Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) library offers
some nonvisual
components for Borland Delphi, C++ Builder and Kylix.
They serve
for access to Oracle RDBMS. ODAC is an alternative to
standard
way processing data by Borland Database Engine (BDE).
ODAC uses Oracle Call Interface (OCI) directly. The
Oracle Call
Interface is an application programming interface
(API) that allows
an application developer to use a third-generation
language's native
procedure or function calls to access the Oracle
database server and
control all phases of SQL statement execution. The OCI
provides a
library of standard database access and retrieval
functions in the
form of a dynamic runtime library, ORA*.DLL, that can
be linked in
by the application.
Also with Net option ODAC allows to connect without
Oracle client
software installed on workstation. In such case ODAC
requires only
TCP/IP protocol and allows to build really thin
database application.
