Review on EntityDAC by Payton Luna

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very good tool for mapping database to delphi code using OLEDB !

Easy accession to new technologies like AngularJs 2 along side my existing codebase in VB6/Delphi7 has been one area which I have had issues finding answers but now its simple thanks to Entitydac! The best part about it was that all queries generated using EF were supported very well by my Vb app also making integration more easier! Nothing specific yet i am facing difficulty while integrating same into angularjs2 application where some types are not mapped properly between both entities resulting me errors. But overall good job done by developer team at EntydaC. Its really great work!! Make sure you give them ample amount of time before considering any such move or rather try first themselves through their demo version so that u can get hands dirty yourself what exactly they mean when say "supporting". Development experience and working knowledge over previous 3 years developing web applications & mobile apps mainly written The best thing about EntityDac is its ability to map almost any database structure to Delphi class structures. This makes it easier to write code using the ORM. I also like the fact that it's open source and free. There are some limitations in terms of performance and lack of documentation. If you need to use a database in your application, then EntityDac will be perfect for you. We are solving our problems related to storing and retrieving data from databases in our applications.

Pros
  • What attracted us most towards entity dac toolset used with delhpi 7was ease access provided via OOP methodology as compared other tools available out there.also we liked how easy mapping could take place without much coding effort required.Also this helped developers reduce dependency upon external libraries hence reducing complexity drastically !!!!
Cons
  • As per current project scope ,we didnot face too many challenges faced within framework
