Does dbExpress have any runtime libraries?

[Khurram Zaveri]

Hello,

I need to access data from Oracle, MS SQL, MySQL and ODBC datasources. I
need to know that if I use dbExpress, would it require me to include
runtimes with my application? I remember that BDE used to have a significant
runtime overhead..

Thank you
Khurram

Unfortunately, there is no dbExpress driver for ODBC. The only CodeGear
data access components that will work with all of the data sources you
listed is ADO.

dbExpress requires you to deploy one DLL for each driver. That is all.
There is no installation required. Just put the driver DLLs in the
directory with your EXE. Deployment is much smaller and much easier
than the BDE.

You can use http://sourceforge.net/projects/open-dbexpress/
