[CLOSED] Has anyone used UniDAC from DevArt?

I found they provide database connection to Firebird and many other
databases. Actually TIBConnection (from default free pascal) supports
connection to the Firebird, but UniDAC's documentation says they
provide several more functionality.

Have anyone used this?

I don't but I know several developers who use it with delphi.

You have to look further on Lazarus components. SQLdb supports
interbase, firebird, mssql, mysql / mariadb, progresql and odbc
database. And it's free.

Yes, I know and am using them already on many applications. Just
curious because UniDAC says it provides some other functionalities
like storing arrays, etc.

If it's Firebird arrays (or FB3-specific features) you're after, take
a look at IBX for Lazarus.

Quote IBX for Lazarus.
Have you tried this? If yes, what is your overall evaluation?

Yes, that is the reason I recommended it.

I have several Firebird 3 applications that depend on it. I have no
complaints about the library. In fact, I think it is excellent. The
developer participates in these forums, and is very responsive to bug
reports. And, it has good documentation.
