PostgreSQL Data Access Components
PostgreSQL Data Access Components (PgDAC) is a library of components
that provides native connectivity to PostgreSQL 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. PgDAC is designed to help programmers
develop really lightweight, faster and cleaner PostgreSQL database applications
without deploying any additional libraries.
PgDAC is a complete replacement for standard PostgreSQL connectivity solutions and
presents an efficient alternative to the Borland Database Engine (BDE) and standard
dbExpress driver for access to PostgreSQL. It provides direct access to PostgreSQL
without PostgreSQL Client.
Native Connectivity to PostgreSQL
PgDAC-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. Moreover, PgDAC
provides an additional opportunity to work with PostgreSQL directly via TCP/IP without
involving PostgreSQL Client.
Wide Coverage of PostgreSQL Features
By providing access to the most advanced database functionality, PgDAC allows developers
to harness the full capabilities of the PostgreSQL server and optimize their database
applications. PgDAC features complete support of fast record insertion, Asynchronous
Notification, PostgreSQL sequences, the possibility to retrieve the last inserted
OID value, notices, and more.
Cross-Platform Solution for Delphi, C++Builder, and Lazarus
PgDAC 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. PgDAC 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 PgDAC
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
Just wanted to say I thing
the PgDAC components are the best on the market for Delphi and the fact you don't
need libpq.dll is simply amazing and is a huge advantage when using PostgreSQL in
a corporate environment as you dont have to worry about deploying libpq.dll, and
unless you compile your own libpq.dll, the stock ones have tons of dependencies
that you also have to included with your app, but not with Devart! :)

Key Features
Direct Mode
Allows your application to work with PostgreSQL directly without involving PostgreSQL
connectivity solutions, thus significantly facilitating deployment and configuration
of your applications.
DB Compatibility
Our product supports the latest PostgreSQL server versions up to 9.2. We also provide
back compatibility with the previous versions down to 7.1.
64-bit Development
PgDAC 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 PostgreSQL and Delphi data types,
you can use a simple and flexible Data Type Mapping engine provided by PgDAC.
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 6 and C++Builder 6.
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.
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.
Monitoring
Use our freeware dbMonitor tool to monitor
and analyze all the DB calls made by your application using PostgreSQL data access
components. dbMonitor performs percomponent tracing of SQL statement execution, commits,
rollbacks, etc.
