ODBCExpress wraps the ODBC API into a set of easy-to-use classes for Delphi and C++Builder, so that you don't have to know much about the low-level ODBC API to make use of ODBC in your applications.

ODBCExpress compiles completely into your executable, which means no distribution of an external database engine is necessary.

ODBCExpress was designed with the express purpose of writing
large and responsive industrial-strength data access applications, and because ODBCExpress talks directly to ODBC, ODBCExpress' architecture is optimized for performance.
