dbExpress driver for Oracle is a database-independent layer that defines common interface to provide fast access to Oracle from Delphi and C++Builder including Community Edition on Windows and macOS for both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. For this server, dbExpress provides a driver as an independent library that implements the common dbExpress interface for processing queries and stored procedures. As the data-access layer is thin and simple, dbExpress provides high performance database connectivity and is easy to deploy. You can use the driver in the same way as the one supplied by Embarcadero.

Native Connectivity to Oracle
DB applications based on dbExpress drivers are easy to deploy, do not require installation of other data provider layers (such as BDE or ODBC), and that's why they can work faster than the ones based on standard Delphi data connectivity solutions. Moreover, the dbExpress driver for Oracle provides an additional opportunity to work with Oracle directly via TCP/IP without involving Oracle Client.

Cross-Platform Solution for Delphi and C++Builder
dbExpress driver for Oracle is a cross-platform solution for developing applications using various IDEs: RAD Studio, Delphi, C++Builder on Windows and macOS for both x86 and x64 platforms. The app for Oracle also provides support for the FireMonkey platform, which allows you to develop visually spectacular high-performance native applications for Windows and macOS.

Features and Highlights

Direct Mode
Allows your application to work with Oracle directly via TCP/IP without involving Oracle Client, thus significantly facilitating deployment and configuration of your applications.

Database Compatibility
The product supports Oracle servers 18c, 12c, 11g, 10g, 9i, 8i, 8.0, including Oracle Express Edition 11g and 10g.

x64 development
This tool for Oracle doesn't limit your choice of the development platform. Now you can develop for 32-bit and 64-bit platforms with Delphi.

dbMonitor Monitoring
Use the freeware dbMonitor tool to monitor and analyze all the DB calls made by your application using dbExpressdriver for Oracle. dbMonitor performs per­component tracing of SQL statement execution, commits, rollbacks, etc.

IDE Compatibility
The product is compatible with the latest IDE versions and editions including Community Edition: Embarcadero RAD Studio 10.3 Rio, Delphi 10.3 Rio, and C++Builder 10.3 Rio. It is also compatible with the previous IDE versions since Delphi 6 and C++Builder 6.

IDE Compatibility
Now you can develop not only VCL-based applications in Delphi but also use the newest FireMonkey application development platform.

Performance
All components and libraries are designed to help you write high-performance, lightweight data access layers, therefore they use advanced data access algorithms and techniques of optimization.

Note: 30 days trial version.
