Dev Days of Summer 2024 which was successfully concluded last August was a two-week celebration of coding. It’s a gathering and conference for developers, designers, and tech enthusiasts where they will share their remarkable insights about the hottest and latest software development topics via free webinars. In this video, Jim Mckeeth will reintroduce us to FireDAC and will walk us through the fundamentals of Data Access

Generally, Data access refers to how an application communicates with and manipulates data in a database or other storage system. It is interesting to note that effective data access is crucial not just for a Windows application development but also for the rest of the available platforms, especially in terms of performance, reliability, and scalability. A data access library, on the other hand, is a set of software tools, classes, and functions that provide an interface for applications to interact with databases and other data sources in a streamlined and efficient way.

Introduction to FireDAC

There are many data access libraries available but for Delphi Users, FireDAC is the default option. Interestingly, FireDAC is a powerful data access library developed by Embarcadero Technologies for use with Delphi and C++Builder. It provides a unified, high-performance interface for connecting to various databases, such as Oracle, MySQL, SQL Server, SQLite, PostgreSQL, and others. FireDAC is especially valuable in cross-platform development, as it supports Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux.

In this video, Jim McKeeth will demonstrate how to use FireDAC in connecting to some of the supported top database management systems like SQLite, MariaDB, and MySQL. Whether you’re working with local databases or remote servers, you’ll learn the foundational techniques to efficiently manage data in your Delphi applications.

The webinar also concludes with a Q & A session with Jim McKeeth et Ian Barker. To learn more about FireDAC, feel free to watch the video below.
