Hum... I really doubt that a 'buggy, buggy, buggy' software could achieve
the Delphi Informant Readers' Choice (Database Connectivity) for the third

And this is a Trustware software, so I recommend that you give it a try. I'm
sure your learning curve will be fast if you already use TDataset
components. you don't need to use the other components if you don't want to.
And support it's 5 stars!
