Only ODAC 3.90 supports Delphi 4. ODAC 3.90 supports all listed databases. But it doesn't support some Oracle features. We suggest you to updgrade to ODAC 5.55.

Thank you very much for your answer.

I can't upgrade Delphi 4 to 5.
Is it possible to buy ODAC 3.90?
I find only download trial version but no mention about price and so on...

What Oracle features are not supported? Is it some special or some basic features?
We are going to use Oracle 10XE with UNICODE. Is it supported by ODAC 3.90? I read about UNICODE in ODAC history and it was mentioned in version above 3.90

What about future of this version: Will be ODAC 3.90 supported in future?

No, ODAC 3.90 doesn't support Unicode and we are not going to support this version.

OK

Is it possible to buy this version or is only for trial?


ad UNICODE

I didn't test it yet but I suppose that we can use DB with UNICODE if we don't use option Net. Is it right?

Thank you very much.

The pure unicode support was added in ODAC 4.50. You can use ODAC 3.90 with unicode database but you will not get any widestrings.
