EntityDAC is an ORM for Delphi with LINQ support. It provides a powerful framework that allows performing object-relational mapping of database objects to Delphi classes with full support for encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism and other OOP features. To retrieve data from a database, LINQ is used as a database independent query engine. In addition, there is a feature-rich ORM modeling tool available – Entity Developer that allows you to create and edit your ORM models visually, and generate Delphi entity classes by this model automatically.
– Database-First, Model-First & Code-First development
– Visual ORM Model Designer with Code generation
– LINQ queries
– Entity & Query Cache

EntityDAC has made using ORM techniques easy for my Delphi projects.
What do you like best?
I like the Entity Developer app that is included with EntityDAC the best. It allows me to model my object classes visually and it takes care of generating the necessary code for me. It even generates the SQL database structures for me.
What do you dislike?
I have not yet discovered anything that I dislike about the product.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I use EntityDAC to help me develop apps using Delphi. It allows me to focus on the architecture of my apps and speeds up development of the object classes in my app as well as the database layout. It allows me to create apps that are database server independent as it will generate the structures in the database in a way that make sense for each supported server.
