MyDAC also seamlessly provides security via encryption components. > > **Cons**: The need for alternative network management components to effectively connect and communicate effectively. > > Not bad at all. Components are both easy to use in code with well organised component classes that are self intuitive. ----- ### "Reliable and high performance" — 5.0/5 > **Ulco** | *27 March 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I'm using it for many years, updates are never an issue, always compatible with all source lines. > > **Cons**: Performance is great, the database drivers are linked into the executable, which makes updating my applications seamless and easy. > > Very satisfied over al the years, as an early Delphi adopter I'm using MySQL Data Access in all new versions, never had an update problem with never versions. ----- ### "Get MySQL Data from your application: the easy way" — 4.0/5 > **Eros** | *28 July 2022* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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 > > **Cons**: 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 > > 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. ----- ### "MySQL Data Access Components" — 5.0/5 > **Jesus** | *26 April 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Just the fact that this software exists is a big plus. The good description in the manuals > > **Cons**: From my point of view, there is hardly anything I could complain about. The price could still be a bit cheaper, since it is a subscription process that comes to a not small price in the long run. Possibly one could make special favorable prices for long-standing customers/users. Similar to a price scale according to user years. e.g. Update after 5 years of use x% Update after 6 years of use y%. > > Simply put, I like to use it and it makes my work a lot easier ----- ### "Devart MySQL Data Access" — 5.0/5 > **Peter** | *29 April 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: At this point, I have none to report for this product. > > I would highly recommend this component to anyone. Devart support and upgrades to the product are a definite plus. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/350770/mysql-data-access-components?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/350770/mysql-data-access-components) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
