New Versions of VCL Data Access Components with Lazarus 0.9.30 and Free Pascal 2.4.2
Support!
Apr 29, 2011
Devart Team is glad to present a new version of our DAC products with support for
the latest release versions of Lazarus and Free Pascal, Starter Edition of Delphi
XE and C++Builder XE, and many other improvements.
SDAC functionality was extended with Table-Valued Parameters
support, and now you can use table-valued parameters to send multiple rows of data
to a Transact-SQL statement or a routine, such as a stored procedure or function,
without creating a temporary table or many parameters. SDAC 5.10 also includes SQL
Server FILESTREAM support that allows you to use streaming access
to the data in your applications. SQL Server Compact Edition 4.0
is now supported.
Direct mode now supports Oracle 9, Oracle 10, and Oracle 11 strengthened authentication
in ODAC and UniDAC. Now the strengthened password hashing algorithms, which meet
the requirements of industry standards, are used for authentication in the direct
mode. New authentication algorithms allow using case sensitive login and password,
and Unicode for login and password in the Direct mode.
In the PgDAC the extended notification with Payload parameter and
the Application Name connection parameter is now supported. The
application name will be displayed in the pg_stat_activity view and included in
CSV log entries.
UniDAC components were greatly improved. A separate DBF provider
was added to simplify opening such databases and provide support for specific features
of this database. Also User-defined functions for SQLite provider
are now supported.

If you wish to provide feedback on the new versions, you can do it in our forums or by e-mail. There
