Experience with direct data access components

Question

I would like to know as to what has been the experience of using direct data access components like devart's MyDAC which allows a direct connection to the mysql server rather than through the client library or ODBC.

Answer 1

With AnyDAC you can acess almost all popular databases (MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, Firebird, PostgreSQL, DB2, SQLite, ...). High-speed native direct access, many unique futures, unified API for access to cross-database features, excelent support.
