Data Access Components for MySQL (MyDAC) is a VCL/VCL.NET/CLX component library for fast direct access to MySQL from Delphi, C++Builder, and Kylix. MyDAC is heavily performance- and stress-tested to provide the fastest available native connectivity to MySQL. MyDAC features full support for all MySQL data types and features, including support for locking, SET and ENUM types.
