dbExpress Driver For SQL Server Download 8.3

Devart dbExpress driver for SQL Server is a database-independent layer that defines a common interface to provide fast access to SQL Server from Delphi and C++Builder including Community Edition on Windows and macOS for both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. For this server, It provides a driver as an independent library that implements the common It interfaces for processing queries and stored procedures. As the data-access layer is thin and simple, It provides high-performance database connectivity and is easy to deploy. You can use the driver in the same way as the one supplied by Embarcadero.

The driver works by implementing the features of the dbExpress interface, which contains an independent library that processes queries and offers storage procedures. Access to the SQL Server is provided through Microsoft’s OLE DB technologies.

Enabling users enhanced connectivity for their SQL Server with the Delphi and C++ platforms, the driver uses a lightweight and efficient connection protocol that offers increased performance.

Native Connectivity to SQL Server
Applications based on the app for SQL Server are easy to deploy, do not require installation of other data provider layers (such as BDE and ODBC), and that’s why they can work faster than the ones based on standard Delphi data connectivity solutions. Moreover, dbExpress Driver for SQL Server provides working with SQL Server not only through OLE DB but through SQL Native Client as well.

Developing in Delphi and C++Builder
This tool for SQL Server is a cross-IDE solution for developing applications for Windows and macOS: RAD Studio, Delphi, and C++Builder for both x86 and x64 platforms. dbExpress driver for SQL Server also provides support for the FireMonkey platform, which allows you to develop visually spectacular high-performance native applications for Windows and macOS.

Since all the applications that are developed using this driver do not require additional data provider layers such as ODBC or BDE, they will be more efficient than the ones relying on standard Delphi connectivity. As with other software packages offered by this developer, the connectivity is offered both through the OLE database but also through the SQL native client.

Users will be able to implement this driver in some of the following IDEs: Embarcadero RAD Studio, Delphi, C++ Builder, and even FireMonkey (that will allow them to design high-performance applications). One important aspect that users must consider when deploying this driver is the fact that they will need to have the OLE DB installed on their machines.

dbExpress Driver For SQL Server Features

• Performance: All these components and libraries are designed to help you write high-performance, lightweight data access layers, therefore they use advanced data access algorithms and techniques of optimization.
