Description of EntityDAC

EntityDAC is an ORM for Delphi with LINQ support. It provides a powerful framework that allows performing object-relational mapping of database objects to Delphi classes with full support for encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism and other OOP features. To retrieve data from a database, LINQ is used as a database independent query engine. In addition, there is a feature-rich ORM modeling tool available - Entity Developer that allows you to create and edit your ORM models visually, and generate Delphi entity classes by this model automatically. - Database-First, Model-First & Code-First development - Visual ORM Model Designer with Code generation - LINQ queries - Entity & Query Cache

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…

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

A fantastic Database Engine with minimal learning curve

The way it handles many different databases (SQL Server/Oracle etc.) seamlessly together without any problems makes me love using Entity Dac! I really wish they would expand their product line up to include more languages like Java / Python than just C# which was included in version 3 or 4 releases but not since then :( They do have some great updates every year so hopefully one day we'll get those back too :) There are very few things about EDB i don't enjoy, however most people seem happy…

Pros
  • Easy interface
  • Great support for various DB types including Oracle
  • Good documentation online this is vital as you can easily find help with everything from simple questions such what an entity does via advanced topics.
  • Very good performance vs other ORM tools that require alot less coding time
Cons
  • Will fit
