Connection to Oracle Database from Delphi, C++Builder, and Lazarus

Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) is a library of components that provides native connectivity to Oracle 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. The ODAC library is designed to help programmers develop faster and more native Oracle database applications.

ODAC, a high-performance and feature-rich Oracle connectivity solution, is an efficient native alternative to the Borland Database Engine (BDE) and standard dbExpress driver. It provides both possibilities of connection to Oracle through native Oracle data access and direct Oracle access from Delphi without Oracle Client.

Native Connectivity to Oracle

ODAC-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, ODAC provides an additional opportunity to work with Oracle directly via TCP/IP without involving Oracle Client.

Wide Coverage of Oracle Features

ODAC supports a wide range of Oracle-specific features, such as:

  • DML Arrays
  • REF cursors
  • Objects
  • Packages
  • Direct Path Loading
  • Alerts
  • Pipes
  • Change notifications
  • Advanced Queuing

Cross-Platform Solution for Delphi, C++Builder, and Lazarus

ODAC 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. ODAC also provides support for the FireMonkey application development platform, which allows you to develop visually spectacular high-performance desktop and mobile native applications.

Cross-platform and cross-IDE solution

Secure Connection

You can use ODAC with SecureBridge components to embed an SSL, SSH, or HTTP/HTTPS protocols into your application developed in Delphi, C++Builder, Lazarus, and Free Pascal for establishing a secure Oracle database connection.
