dbExpress as cross-platform data access technology developed by Borland for its Kylix, Delphi and C++ Builder products. It takes the best ideas from the BDE (Borland Database Engine), Borland ADOExpress, and other technologies such as Microsoft ADO.
Note -- dbExpress drivers can only be used with Borland products, specifically: Borland Kylix (for Linux); Borland Delphi version 6 and above (for Microsoft Windows); Borland C++ Builder version 6 and above (for Microsoft Windows).
The latest version is only available from the project CVS repository.
