### "Solid and flexible Delphi components for MySQL and MariaDB access"

October 6, 2023

5.0

Connecting my Delphi app to a MariaDB database on my webserver is key to my business. MySQL Data Access Components does that well.

Pros

The components work. They are both powerful and flexible. I don't know of any bugs, and support is good when I do need help.

Cons

The Help could be a bit better. But, if I have questions, they are quickly answered on the support forum.

5.0

I use MySQL with Delphi VCL. I don't experience any problems during the software or application's operation. It's also a very accessible component. Other components I used previously caused problems.

Pros

It's very easy to install, I've been using it for 15 years and it has never broken down. I'm immediately notified of updates, and the setup is very easy.

Cons

There wasn't a single data access component I particularly liked. I'm writing this because I have to write something; here's the price of the product.

Switched from

[MySQL](https://www.capterra.com/p/11482/MySQL/)

The product was slow and the price was not reasonable. It was difficult to reach support.

### "Rock-Solid MySQL Access for Delphi – Fast and Reliable for 15+ Years"

July 8, 2025

5.0

I’ve been using MyDAC for over 15 years—since the MySQL 5.0 days—and it has never let me down. It’s fast, dependable, and evolves with the tools I use. Whether for desktop or server-side Delphi apps, it consistently delivers. It's a key part of my development stack and has made working with MySQL in Delphi effortless over the years.

Pros

\- Extremely reliable and stable across MySQL and Delphi versions - Excellent performance with both simple and complex queries - Long-term compatibility and regular updates - Easy to integrate and use in Delphi project

Cons

\- nothing significant. Occasionally waiting for support for newer Delphi versions, but it's usually added quickly.

### "Fast and Secure MySQL Access in Delphi with MyDAC After 5+ Years of Use"

August 23, 2025

5.0

I’ve been using MyDAC in Delphi projects and it has proven to be a very reliable and efficient way to connect directly to MySQL. It’s fast, lightweight, and avoids the overhead of ODBC or ADO. The components integrate smoothly with RAD Studio, and working with datasets and transactions feels very natural. In combination with SecureBridge, I’ve also used MyDAC to connect over SSL, which was straightforward to set up and worked flawlessly. The stability in production and the performance benefits are excellent, and the documentation makes it easy to get started. Overall, MyDAC saves a lot of development time and is definitely worth the money if you’re building professional Delphi applications with MySQL.

Pros

Fast, stable, easy to use, well-documented, works with SecureBridge for SSL, and saves a lot of development time.

Cons

It is a paid library, but given its reliability, ease of use, and the time it saves, it is worth every penny.

It is easy to use and very handy, one of the best in the market.

### "MySQL Data Access Components"

April 26, 2022

5.0

Simply put, I like to use it and it makes my work a lot easier

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%.

5.0

Nous n'avons pas de problème de gestion des bases de données en générale.Il arrive dans certain programme qu'un message d'erreur survienne le matin lorsque le programme est resté allumé toute la nuit. Mais je ne sais pas si cela vient du composant MySql

Pros

La facilité en générale, la stabilité du produit et la facilité d'accès à la base de donnée

Cons

Le message qui arrive a chaque démarrage de Delphi lorsqu'une nouvelle version est disponible.Le fait de devoir supprimer l'ancienne version avant de pouvoir installer la nouvelle.

April 29, 2022

5.0

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

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

April 19, 2022

5.0

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

May 10, 2022

5.0

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

Pros

Ease of implementation. It is fairly seamless.

Cons

Renewal price. I am a firm believer that renewal prices should be one third or less of the initial licensing fee.

### "Get MySQL Data from your application: the easy way"

July 28, 2022

4.0

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.

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
