FreeDAC is a cross DBMS data access engine (DAC) supporting many DBMS’s and offering developers a unified API to all of them.  Due to FreeDAC's open architecture we are constantly extending our set of supported DBMS.

Today FreeDAC “natively" supports DBMS listed below. “Natively” means:

 

  • FreeDAC "talks" to the RDBMS through fastest, stable and recomended by vendor API
  • FreeDAC has been tested and optimized for the specified DBMS
