InterBase Data Access Components
InterBase (and FireBird) Data Access Components (IBDAC) is a library
of components that provides native connectivity to InterBase, Firebird and Yaffil
from Delphi, C++Builder, Lazarus (and Free Pascal) on
Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, Linux, and FreeBSD for both 32-bit and 64-bit
platforms. IBDAC-based applications connect to the server directly using the InterBase
client. IBDAC is designed to help programmers develop faster and cleaner InterBase
database applications.
IBDAC is a complete replacement for standard InterBase connectivity solutions. It
presents an efficient alternative to InterBase Express Components, the Borland Database
Engine (BDE), and the standard dbExpress driver for access to InterBase.
Native Connectivity to InterBase
IBDAC-based DB applications 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.
Wide Coverage of InterBase Features
By providing access to the most advanced database functionality, IBDAC allows developers
to harness the full capabilities of the InterBase and Firebird servers and optimize
their database applications. IBDAC provides complete support of InterBase and Fiebird
Blobs and Arrays, Unicode character data, and events.
Cross-Platform Solution for Delphi, C++Builder, and Lazarus
IBDAC is a cross-platform solution for developing applications using various IDEs:
RAD Studio, Delphi, C++Builder, Lazarus (and FPC) on Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, Linux,
and FreeBSD for both x86 and x64 platforms. IBDAC also provides support for the
FireMonkey platform, which allows you to develop visually spectacular high-performance
native applications for Windows and Mac OS X.
High Development Productivity with IBDAC
We provide various GUI tools that will increase your productivity: dbMonitor allows
monitoring activity of your DB applications, Dataset Manager simplifies DataSet
and DB controls tweaking, and others.
Quotes
We do actually use SDAC,
MyDAC, IBDAC and ODAC, in some of our software solutions we use even more than two
of them at the same time. I personally think that Devart's DAC libraries for Delphi
were our best buy, and helped us a lot in database applications development.

Key Features
Performance
All our components and libraries are designed to help you write high-performance,
lightweight data access layers, therefore they use advanced data access algorithms
and techniques of optimization.
DB Compatibility
Our product supports InterBase server versions 5.x up to XE, Firebird 2.x, 1.x and
Yaffil
64-bit Development
IBDAC doesn't limit your choice of the development platform. Now you can develop
for 32-bit and 64-bit platforms with Delphi and Lazarus (and FPC).
Data Type Mapping
If you want to make custom correspondence between InterBase and Delphi data types,
you can use a simple and flexible Data Type Mapping engine provided by IBDAC.
IDE Compatibility
Our product is compatible with the latest IDE versions: Embarcadero RAD Studio XE4,
Delphi XE4, C++Builder XE4, Lazarus (and FPC). It is also compatible with the previous
IDE versions since Delphi 5 and C++Builder 5.
Development Platforms
Now you can develop not only VCL-based applications in Delphi and LCL-based ones
in Lazarus, but also use the newest FireMonkey application development
platform.
Monitoring
Use our freeware dbMonitor tool to monitor
and analyze all the DB calls made by your application using IBDAC. dbMonitor performs
percomponent tracing of SQL statement execution, commits, rollbacks,
etc.
