InterBase and FireBird Data Access Components (IBDAC) is a component library that provides local connections to InterBase and Firebird from Delphi and C++Builder (including Community Edition) as well as Lazarus (and Free Pascal) on Windows, Linux, and macOS, IOS and Android (suitable for 32-bit and 64 bit platforms). IBDAC based applications directly connect to the server using the InterBase client.

IBDAC aims to assist programmers in developing faster and cleaner InterBase database applications.

IBDAC completely replaces the standard InterBase connectivity solution. It provides an effective alternative to the InterBase Express component, Borland Database Engine (BDE), and standard dbExpress driver for accessing InterBase.

Connect to Interbase locally

IBDAC based database applications are easy to deploy and do not require the installation of other data provider layers (such as BDE or ODBC), which is why they can be faster than applications based on standard Delphi data connectivity solutions.

Cross platform solution for Delphi, C++Builder, and Lazarus

IBDAC is a cross platform solution for developing applications using various IDEs: RAD Studio on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, and FreeBSD, Delphi, C++Builder, Lazarus (and FPC), for x86 and x64 platforms. IBDAC also provides support for the FireMonkey platform, which enables you to develop visually striking high-performance desktop and mobile native applications.

Extensive coverage of InterBase and Firebird features

IBDAC allows developers to optimize their database applications and leverage the full functionality of InterBase and Firebird servers. IBDAC provides complete support for InterBase and Firebird Blob and arrays, Unicode character data, and events.

1. Unicode support
2. Memorabilia
3. Streaming Blob
4. Advanced collaboration with Blob
5. Configure server security
6. Batch data loading
7. Large quantities
8. Configure server parameters
