Challenges faced
The projects Speziale Software e Sistemi works on are built with business goals and needs in mind. Thus, they require extra attention to development resources and are time-sensitive. Project reliability and scalability are also of immense importance, especially when the solutions the company builds have to safeguard the investments made over time. That’s why, when working on such solutions, Basilio Speziale looked for connectivity tools to resolve these challenges.
01
Creating and ensuring compatibility of complex connectivity solutions often requires significant time investments
02
Introducing certain connectivity solutions in the projects requires rewriting a lot of code and reshaping architecture
03
The need to keep access to legacy databases while using newer versions of SQL Server posed a development challenge
Basilio Speziale, being an IT manager responsible for the tech stack, looked for a solution to cover all the cases described above. His decision to try SQL Server Data Access Components (SDAC) from Devart stemmed from the need to opt for a reliable connectivity toolset that would minimize the need to modify existing code and architecture to introduce database connections.
"With SDAC and my derived components I can manage both access to legacy Paradox databases and to all versions of SQL Server."

Results achieved
Saved time on custom integration
SDAC solution was a natural choice for the project with strict time constraints regarding time and resources spent on development. The team couldn’t afford to rewrite already existing code to ensure connectivity. Thus, they trusted SDAC to connect the solution with the SQL Server database — and managed to avoid extra effort.
Increased cost-effectiveness
A reliable connectivity solution at a fraction of the price can significantly reduce the project’s costs. SDAC offers reasonable pricing, which makes it stand out from the alternatives provided by the Delphi manufacturer.
Preserved access to legacy databases
One of the key requirements of the project was preserving compatibility with the legacy databases, and SDAC solution ensured that connectivity could be established both with older databases as well as with the newer SQL Server versions.
Key features Basilio is excited about
Native connectivity to SQL Server
SDAC-based database applications are simple to deploy and don’t require additional data provider layers like BDE or ODBC, making them faster than applications built with standard Delphi data connectivity solutions.
Ability to switch from SDAC to UniDAC
Some projects require scalability and should be built with future challenges in mind, such as the need to connect to other databases. SDAC can become a go-to solution that can be easily replaced with UniDAC in case one needs other connectivity options while wanting to preserve the ones that were already established and running.
Support for Delphi data types
With the support for Delphi data types, SDAC provides an easy and flexible way to use data type mapping.
