SQL Balance for MySQL

 Database Administrators rejoice! Now you don't have to compare and synchronize databases run by MySQL manually. SQLBalance compares the structure of two databases line by line, object by object, and highlights the differences! It shows full information about the object in the form of table and as a DDL script, so you can understand the differences easily. Then these databases are in synched object-by-object or entirely (one-click).

MySQLDirect .NET Data Provider

 MySQLDirect .NET is data provider to direct access to MySQL database server for the Microsoft .NET Framework and .NET Compact Framework. It is completely based on ActiveX Data Objects for the .NET Framework (ADO.NET) technology. ADO.NET provides a rich set of components for creating distributed, data-sharing applications. It is an integral part of the .NET Framework, providing access to relational data, XML, and application data.
MySQLDirect .NET data provider can be used in the same way as the SQL Server .NET or the OLE DB .NET Data Provider.
Data provider can access MySQL server either using native MySQL network protocol directly or through MySQL client library. It allows to create lightweight and fast applications working with MySQL.
 MySQLDirect .NET provides functionality for connecting to MySQL database, executing commands, and retrieving results. Those results can be processed directly, or placed in an ADO.NET DataSet for further processing while in a disconnected state. Data in the DataSet can be exposed to the user, combined with other data from multiple sources, or passed remotely between tiers. Any processing performed on the data while in the DataSet can then be reconciled to MySQL database.

dbExpress drivers

dbExpress is database-independent layer that defines a common interface to provide fast access to SQL database servers. For each supported server, dbExpress provides a driver as an independent library that implements the common dbExpress interfaces for processing queries and stored procedures. As data-access layer thin and simple, dbExpress provides high performance database connectivity and is easy to deploy. dbExpress drivers are available for Windows as dynamic-link libraries. When you deploy a database application that uses dbExpress, you need only include a dll with the application files you build.

We offer lightweight database drivers for access to Oracle, MS SQL Server and MySQL databases. Using these drivers is the very same as one of standard dbExpress drivers supplied by Borland.

Following the main features of our dbExpress drivers:

• Direct access to data
• Ability to connect through native protocol without using client software (except DbxSda)
• High performance
• Supports latest versions of servers
• All data types support
• Extended options for advanced behaviour
• Ability of monitoring query execution with DBMonitor
• Source code available
• Free support for registered users
• Licensed per a developer without royalty fee

MySQL Data Access Components for Kylix

MySQL Data Access Components (MyDAC) library offers a set of nonvisual components for Borland Delphi, C++ Builder and Kylix. They provide access to MySQL database server. You can use MyDAC as an alternative to a standard way of accessing databases using Borland Database Engine (BDE) or dbExpress.

MyDAC can work using MySQL client or native MySQL network protocol. In case of using MySQL protocol directly MyDAC doesn't require client library and requires only TCP/IP protocol. This feature allows to build really thin database application.

Using BDE or dbExpress in MySQL oriented client/server applications has some deficiencies. In many cases BDE and dbExpress community are unable to employ server specific features. Also BDE must tolerate excessive usage of resources, reduced speed of processing data, restricted distribution of an application and its administration
