C++Builder enables developers to use the same code to connect to all data, whether it is on Oracle, DB2,
and database systems.
Sybase, InterBase, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Informix, Blackfish SQL, ODBC, or any combination.
C++Builder standardizes database connectivity and provides drivers for major databases and Open Database
connectivity. Use the Data Explorer to connect to and browse databases and the visual SQL query builder to
create queries. Then visually design applications with drag-and-drop components for database connections,
queries, tables, forms, and reports. C++Builder makes it easy to build any type of database application
– from embedded to multi-tier and Web.
