InterBase and Firebird Data Access Components

More Delphi Components

InterBase (and Firebird) Data Access Components (IBDAC) is a library of components that provides native connectivity to InterBase and Firebird from Delphi and C++Builder including Community Edition, as well as Lazarus (and Free Pascal) on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android 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.

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, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, 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 desktop and mobile native applications.

Cross-platform and cross-IDE solution

Wide Coverage of InterBase and Firebird Features

IBDAC allows developers to optimize their database applications and harness the full capabilities of the InterBase and Firebird servers. IBDAC provides complete support of InterBase and Firebird Blobs and Arrays, Unicode character data, and events.

  • Unicode supporting
  • Events
  • Streaming BLOB
  • Advanced working with BLOB
  • Configuring server security
  • Bulk data loading
  • Array
  • Configuring server parameters
