MySQL Data Access Components Reviews

I've been using the MySQL Data Access Components with Delphi for many years. The components just work. I don't recall ever running into a bug. Support via their forum is responsive when I have a question.

In general the documentation is good. But sometimes I look at the source code to better understand what the components are doing. Several units have similar names, so it can take a bit of effort to trace through to see what code is doing what.

I use the components so that I can run statistical calculations on a separate computer, then upload the results to a website.

MyDAC library is user friendly and very easy to install. MyDAC Components follow strictly the Embarcadero Philosophy, so they do not appear like an external product but rather like a native extensions that help the programmers interfacing MySQL databases.

It's hard to find a technical aspect to dislike. Technically, the MyDAC libraries do their work in an excellent way. I think that the only thing I do not like is the amount of the renewal subscription. Compared with other softwares I believe it is too high. In few years it has raised up and now I believe it is over its real value. But, honestly, I have also to say that Devart follows its customers very well.

Using MyDAC components I created some C++ Classes that allow me to read and write data on MySQL database in a quick and efficient way. I can now think only to write code at an higher level saving time and headaches.

Easy to Use, Quick (in mode to native access SGDB), Nice Support, price :)

Nothing. Really nothing to dislike .....

MyDAC is a very good component to access MySQL, nice to use in old projects as Delphi7 and to do migration to new Delphi Generation whithout headache. Is quick with your native access database. Works on IPv4, IPv6, MySQL with SSL, in compacted connections, etc...

I access through Delphi, SGDB MySQL, since old Delphi versions , MySQL 5.5, 5.7, 8. My main usage is ACID transactions to multiple systems. It is clear component and easy to use.

Data access components from RAD Delphi work all great. Good conversion to Query's even if other Data access components are used, good to migrate existing software too.

No dislikes. Product does what's expected, fast and fully integrated.

Direct access to Web MySQL sites (using whitelists and other security). Great to extract information from MySQL webshops.

.It is so Fast in access database, simple (easy) in use, easy in configuration, the security is very great, and make my Business Application run Well so my customer satisfy!

I hope this great product completed with saving and returning JSON data!

It is high recommended to use and this is a great product to make coding is fun!

I have build

simple way of connecting to mysql with server and embedded databases

can't connect to embedded maria db server

try it, there is no better component for delphi and mysql

we use it with windows applications that are based on a mysql database. We can easily switch between embedded database and a server version very easy to use component for delphi.

Easy to use. They follow as much as possible to TTable syntax. The components have been very reliable and connections very stable.

When we first began to use them, we had to go through a lot of trial and error. Put that is part of programming.

We have a customer who completely relies on us to manage data flow for employees working out of their homes. All data is synchronized between all employees using MySQL components.

My favorite control is the one for the monitoring.

There are no problems with the components.

I have been able to monitor all the traffic between the client and the server.

Easy of use and implement, reliable and secure , it does the job for our needs.

Connectivity problemS at times not often

Don't waste your time looking around this libraries surely will cover must of your needs if not all!

Mobile and desktop

The components are very easy to use and by far provide the best option available for accessing and using MySQL with Delphi. The TQuery component has to be my favorite. The ease of use and flexibility is unparalleled in my opinion.

The online documentation could be better. On the rare occasion when I have to try and figure out how to use a particular component, or need to find info on a certain property, there isn't much in the way of description when I pull it up. So there's some guesswork left to do.

However, the question gets answered pretty thoroughly when I've contacted support.

Accessing mysql databases for my applications. The standard data access components just don't seem to like mysql and the cost of other components is higher than I'm willing or able to pay.
