Devart MySQL Data Access

I would highly recommend this component to anyone. Devart support and upgrades to the product are a definite plus.

What they liked
  • Being new to the Delphi world, this component was easy to integrate into my Delphi Project
  • If I had a problem, it was easily and quickly resolved by the tech support
Room for improvement
  • At this point, I have none to report for this product
Why they chose it

"I have used other Devart products and the support has been outstanding. (LiteDAC, dbForge Studio for mySQL)"

Easyness

At a very small development company and user it is correct and useful. I have no experience in big systems with large amounts of data.

What they liked
  • How easy was to implement it in my applications to access MySQL databases
Room for improvement

Sometimes it is difficult to find information about properties or "howto's" when you are developing

Get MySQL Data from your application: the easy way

I use MySQL Data component in order to get some information from a MySQL database and transfer them into a MS SQL one. Since the years I'm using it I've not had any problem.

What they liked
  • With MySQL is easy to connect to any database and take access to all the tables you have right to use
  • Connect database and tables is made simply and quick
Room for improvement
  • I report no cons about this Delphi component
  • As all the others one of this kind (like for example UNIDAC, SDAC and so on) it works fine for my needs

Fast MySQL DB development

This component is one of the main pillars in our wholesale business. We communicate with MySQL databases used for logistic procedures.

What they liked
  • I realy love the plug and play way of using this components
  • I mean the visual binding to labels for example or just a simple for each loop in the data set
  • It's just simple and super stable in all it's needs
Room for improvement

Why they chose it

Does what it says it will.

If you use regular ADO table and query components, then you will have no problems using these components.

What they liked
  • Ease of implementation
  • It is fairly seamless
Room for improvement
  • Renewal price
  • I am a firm believer that renewal prices should be one third or less of the initial licensing fee

Needed components that were more reliable and easier to use.

The convenient way to handle MySQL in Delphi

Very positive, particularly useful when combined with other components such as SQL DAC.

What they liked

It trivializes mysql operations in the same way you'd expect other database engines components

Room for improvement
  • Some operations are lacking, such as totaling fields
Why they chose it

"It was best value for price and we came from SDAC which worked fine."
