Confronted with the task to develop a database application for a company working in a pure Mac environment, what are my options for a central database server to be used by a Delphi FMX application (except the obvious setting up a Windows or Linux box)?
From http://www.embarcadero.com/products/firemonkey/more-connected:
FireMonkey includes built-in component based access to MS SQL Server, Oracle, IBM DB2, MySQL, Sybase, Informix, InterBase and Firebird databases.
Oracle, MySQL and Firebird are available for Mac OS X - I did not check the others
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/en/Deploying_dbExpress_Database_Applications
Only a few is listed in this article, so maybe they are all supported database at this moment.
libsqlinf.dylib
For applications connecting to Informix databases
libsqlora.dylib
For applications connecting to Oracle databases
libsqlasa.dylib
For applications connecting to Adaptive Server Anywhere databases
libsqlmys.dylib
For applications connecting to MySQL databases
libsqlfb.dylib
For applications connecting to Firebird databases
libsqlib.dylib
For applications connecting to Interbase databases
libmidas.dylib
Required by database applications that use client datasets
Have a look at
MariaDB (It is a drop in replacement for MySql) and runs on the Mac and windows.
To connect to the database look at Devart's MyDac7.x it can connect to both MacOs and Windows
