Database Component for Firebird using D2010

I just upgraded my BDS2006 Prof to D2010 Prof. I usually use Interbase component (TIBDatabase, etc) to connect with the database. I am thinking about other alternative components. Sadly, Zeos component (6.X) currently still not working with D2009/D2010. DBExpress support FB connection but not in Prof. Version (only in Enterprise/Architect). What component(s) you suggest for me? (I prefer a free good component, but it is okay if it is a very good, stable, robust, not so expensive and well supported commercial product).

Another free option is to use the free ODBC driver and the dbGo components. I use them and they work pretty well.

There is also a free dbExpress driver for FireBird which can be used in Delphi 2010 Pro.

The best library for Delphi-Firebird interaction is FIBPlus. But it is quite expensive - $348 per one license

You can try IBProvider (OLE DB Firebird driver and Interbase provider), This very well documented, updated (last version 13-08-2009) and has great support.

The access to Firebird from Delphi using this provider, you may choose among the following variants:

  • Interact with ADO via COM interfaces.
  • Use dbGo (ADO Express) components.

Supports the following versions of firebird

  • Firebird 1.0 (1.0.3)
  • Firebird 1.5 (1.5.3, 1.5.4, 1.5.5)
  • Firebird 2.0 (2.0.1 - 2.0.x)
  • Firebird 2.1
  • Firebird 2.5
  • Firebird 64 bits

Bye.
