RemObjects AnyDAC can be used as a stand-alone product for single and client-server database applications, but it will unfold its true power when used in combination with Data Abstract. In the past, Data Abstract for Delphi relied on third party drivers or generic layers such as ADO and DBX for the back-end data access. AnyDAC closes this gap by providing an in-house solution for high-speed native data access at the back end, and deep integration of AnyDAC with Data Abstract 5.0.27 and later allows the two products to combine to the perfect data access solution for Delphi developers.
