Applications of all types will benefit from multiple FreeDAC high performance features, including Rowset Fetching, Array DML Command Execution, Command Batches, etc. Also, FreeDAC code is deeply optimized. Our software engineers spend considerable time making FreeDAC one of the fastest data access engines on the market.

FreeDAC 1.x has comparably stable and bug free codebase.

FreeDAC has above 60 options, controlling almost all aspects of data access functionality: fetching rows, updating rows, resources usage and data types handling. The option values are inheritable from manager (top level component) to connections and datasets.

FreeDAC supports most data types supported by current DBMS’s, including different kinds of BLOB data, Unicode data, high precision numbers, etc. Also, programmer has complete control on the mapping of row column data types into dataset field types and backwards.

FreeDAC is very fast and flexible at data rows fetching. 9 parameters control all aspects of row set fetching.

FreeDAC is faster than most data access components at SQL command execution and offers great features, like command array execution.

FreeDAC has an extended command macro processor. It provides for dynamical changing of command text before being sent to the DBMS, hide SQL dialect differences and perform conditional expansion of command text.

FreeDAC has a very powerful in-memory data storage engine. It's design is based on ADO.Net System.Data namespace architecture and outperforms it in many areas, including speed and memory usage.

FreeDAC comes with a set of predefined dialogs, thereby simplifying application development.
