dbExpress Driver for Oracle Overview

dbExpress is a database-independent layer that defines common interface to provide fast access to Oracle. For this server, dbExpress provides a driver as an independent library that implements the common dbExpress interface for processing queries and stored procedures. As data-access layer is thin and simple, dbExpress provides high performance database connectivity and is easy to deploy. You can use our driver in the same way as the one supplied by Embarcadero.

dbExpress driver for Oracle provides direct high performance access to Oracle database server. It can work using Oracle Call Interface (OCI) or SQL*Net directly.

Native Connectivity to Oracle

DB applications based on dbExpress drivers 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, dbExpress driver for Oracle provides an additional opportunity to work with Oracle directly via TCP/IP without involving Oracle Client.

Cross-Platform Solution for Delphi and C++Builder

dbExpress driver for Oracle is a cross-platform solution for developing applications using various IDEs: RAD Studio, Delphi, C++Builder on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and FreeBSD for both x86 and x64 platforms. dbExpress driver for Oracle also provides support for the FireMonkey platform, which allows you to develop visually spectacular high-performance native applications for Windows and Mac OS X.
