ODAC is a VCL/VCL.NET/CLX component library for fast direct access to Oracle from Delphi, C++Builder, and Kylix. Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) includes comprehensive support for Oracle functionality, which includes Oracle Advanced Queuing, Oracle TAF, and distributed transactions. The main advantages include direct access to Oracle data, Disconnected Model for working with data offline, Local Failover support, optimized code base, and advanced design-time integration. Main changes in this version include the following; Lazarus 0.9.30 and FPC 2.4.2 is supported, Delphi and C++Builder XE Starter Edition supported, Unicode login and password in the Direct mode is supported, Oracle 9, 10, 11 authentication in the Direct mode is supported, and case sensitive login and password in the Direct mode is supported. Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC) is a complete replacement for standard Oracle connectivity solutions and presents an efficient native alternative to the Borland Database Engine and dbExpress for access to Oracle.

Since it provides access to the most advanced database functionality, ODAC allows developers to harness the full capabilities of the Oracle server and optimize their database applications. This program stands out as the set of components with the widest support of Oracle functionality. You can connect to Oracle in two ways using ODAC: in Client mode, using Oracle client software, or in Direct mode, over TCP/IP.
