Did you know that InterBase and PostgreSQL both support a field type which is an array of values? It is not always obvious how to read and write to these database array field types. I get quite a lot of email from Delphi and C++ developers asking if I know how to achieve something they are struggling with. One such recent email was in connection with how to get database array fields to display and…

I believe almost everyone developing with RAD is aware that FireDAC provides nativelly access to a bunch of database systems.
With each new release of RAD Studio, the list of supported databases is updated in response to customer requests and the availability of newer…

If you are looking for a fully functional powerful database which can be easily used in your mobile apps and, importantly, unlike SQLite, it supports full-strength encryption without having to pay an extra fee then we have some good news! Not only does InterBase work on…
High-level encryption is a vital feature of any reliable database, and Embarcadero’s signature database, InterBase, handles it very well. But how exactly does InterBase restrict access to data, both at rest and in transit, through encryption? In the article we are…
We continued our webinar with a look at how ridiculously fast and easy it is to create cross-platform apps with RAD Studio and connect to a variety of databases. One of the great strengths of RAD Studio, and particularly Delphi and C++ Builder is how it can use components like FireDAC to connect to almost any database system there is available. In the webinar I looked at the range of built-in…
