Great News!

 

Zeos is IMHO the best data access library for Delphi and FPC. And it is Open Source.

The direct ZDBC layer has tremendous performance, and a lot of work has been done for this 7.3 upcoming branch.

I'll appreciate if you provide more details regarding these numbers? Are we talking about inserting/reading X records per second, ms seconds? So the higher the better?

[Arnaud Bouchez 407]

It is in records/seconds so the higher the better.

And it includes the ORM layer - which is very low in practice.

You can see for instance that if you use TDataSet (and DB.pas depending units) then reading one record/object has a noticeable overhead, in respect to direct DB access, as ZDBC does or our direct SynDB classes.

For a reference documentation, with some old numbers, you may check https://synopse.info/files/html/Synopse mORMot Framework SAD 1.18.html#TITL_59

Edit: you will see that the ORM also supports MongoDB as backend. Pretty unique.

Off: for anyone wondering 7.3 is not dead, only the version number was bumped to 8.0 a while ago. It is basically the same codebase but due to the changes breaking backwards compatibility the main version number was increased instead.

[Guest]

Is it feasible to replace an edge memory-table component (i.e. TkbmMemTable, TClientDataSe, TFDClient...) with this library?

Does it contain a good TDataSet-based memory table?

 

TIA,

/Dany

[aehimself 399]

Not yet, but it's the most requested feature for a long time. For the time being only a memory based SQLite database can be used as a workaround.

[aehimself 399]

@Dany Marmur as far as I can see @EgonHugeist already started the development of the Zeos-based memory table.

The latest snapshot already has the TZMemTable component - now it's time to start to play with it!

 

Edit: Seems to be working as it should:

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
 ZMemTable1.FieldDefs.Add('MyField', ftWideString);
 ZMemTable1.Open;
 Try
  ShowMessage(ZMemTable1.RecordCount.ToString);
  ZMemTable1.Append;
  ZMemTable1.FieldByName('MyField').AsString := 'Hello world!';
  ZMemTable1.Post;
  ShowMessage(ZMemTable1.RecordCount.ToString + sLineBreak +
              ZMemTable1.FieldByName('MyField').AsString);
 Finally
  ZMemTable1.Close;
 End;
end;

At the moment it throws a nullpointer AV if it's destroyed while it's open but I'll send a pull request with a fix in a minute.

Also, you can define if LOBs should be cached on load or on access - where supported of course 🙂
