Embedded Delphi Database
TurboDB for VCL is a database
for Delphi written in Delphi, which supports a large SQL feature
set and offers it through the well-known VCL components for Database,
Table, Query and BatchMove. TurboDB for VCL is the perfect replacement
for Paradox and dBase to bring up-to-date database technology to
your legacy BDE application.
Our Delphi database supports not only all
features of those out-dated products but offers a range of additional
possibilities as well and makes the migration pain free through
compatible interfaces.
Other than with the Embarcadero BDE, there are no components installed
in the operating system nor necessary configuration settings. You
control the complete database access directly from the application.
TurboDB for VCL consists of our proven
database engine, the typical VCL components TdbTable, TdbQuery,
TdbDatabase, TdbBatchMove, designers for many versions of Delphi,
C++ Builder, Borland/Embarcadero Developer Studio as well as the
usual tools with documentation.
The components fit in the development environment
in the familiar way and also the programming is identical to the
well-known VCL data access components from the BDE.
:: Supported Development Tools
This database engine supports all Borland/CodeGear/Embarcadero
development environments from version 6 until today. This includes
the Turbo editions as well. Exceptions: Delphi 8 and RAD Studio
2003.
Starting with Delphi XE 2, you can also compile
true 64-bit applications using TurboDB.
The standard versions of some of the IDEs
do not include support for database programming and are therefore
not suited for TurboDB for VCL.
For Delphi Prism we recommend our pure .NET
database TurboDB
for .NET .
:: System Requirements
TurboDB for VCL runs on Windows 32 bit since
Windows 2000 and Windows 64 bit since Windows Vista - all editions
supported by Microsoft without Windows Phone/Windows RT. The creation
of 32/64 bit programs depends on your compiler.

:: Features
- The complete database library can optionally
be compiled into the application and requires less than 1 MB
at run-time. In that way, the database is virtually invisible
to the end-user.
- Large SQL feature set including DDL,
foreign keys, transactions, strong encryption, collations (sorting
after the rules of any foreign language) and full-text indexing.
- Entirely programmed in Delphi. Therefore
no interfacing problems with ADO, OLE DB, dbExpress etc.
- All the usual VCL data access components
are there and work like the ones from the BDE: TTdbDatabase,
TTdbTable, TTdbQuery, TTdbBatchMove.
- Wizards for converting BDE databases
and for importing any database via ADO.
- Convenient database management tool is
including in the package.
- Data can be exchanged with all TurboDB
products. Database engine is identical to the one used in
TurboDB Studio.
For a complete list of features, please refer
to the feature matrix.
:: Application Field
- Replacement of Paradox or dBase in existing
database applications, to avoid installation problems, solve
network problems, improve the performance or the database size
or to make the program future-proof.
- Employment in new applications, if a
true SQL database is required instead of proprietary file formats
or if a big database server is too cumbersome or too expensive.
- Use in scalable applications, where small
and large databases must be used depending on the customer and
the project size.
:: Specialties
This Delphi database engine clearly exceeds
the capabilities of Paradox and other database engines. You can
for example restructure tables via the TdbTable component, store
and process Unicode strings and create full-text indexes, which
enable you to "google" for arbitrary keywords in the table.
:: Licensing
As is the case with all dataweb database products,
you buy a license per developer seat. The application you create
based on our database can be distributed royalty-free, i.e. without
any further fees.
