What is better to use, MyDAC component for MySQL or UniDAC with TMySQLUniProvider?

I would like to know too.

Is there diferences between MyDAC and UniDAC to access MySQL ? Which is better or are equal in performance ?

Hello.

UniDAC provides a transparent server-independent interface for working with different databases, for example, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, InterBase, and others. However, MyDAC has access to more server-specific features of MySQL Server, like MyBackup, MyServerControl, and MyEmbConnection. You can learn more about MyDAC features here: http://devart.com/mydac/features.html , and about UniDAC features here: http://devart.com/unidac/features.html .
If you want to use MySQL server-specific features, it's better to use MyDAC. If you are not interested in using server-specific features, you can use UniDAC.
UniDAC uses MyDAC functionality to work with MySQL, so you will have almost the same performance with both UniDAC and MyDAC.
You can try using Trial Editions of UniDAC and MyDAC and check what product is more appropriate for you. Trial Editions are fully functional for a 60-day trial period.

Very Thanks
