A major new version of his BDE Alternative for Delphi and C++Builder. Diamond ADO is a Delphi component library, that provide high-speed performance when working with any OLE DB provider or ODBC data source. Diamond ADO uses ActiveX Data Objects 2.1 (ADO) to access data without requiring the BDE. Using Diamond ADO you can connect to any OLE DB provider. Currently OLE DB providers exist for SQL Server, Oracle, Access, ODBC, Active Directory Services and the Index Server.

Key features:

* High speed - fast, native access to data without BDE.
* Compatibility with standard Delphi data-aware components.
* Complete BDE replacement. Diamond ADO doesn't emulate BDE behavior. It is a true Dataset descendent.
* Full access to ADO. You can use the original ADO objects through component's properties.

Upgrades are free for registered users during product's lifetime.
