Vendor's Description (from Readme files, web site, etc.):

Featuring both Relational and Transactional data access methods, Pervasive Direct Access Components (PDAC) is the Pervasive.SQL replacement for the Borland Database Engine (BDE) included with Delphi and C++ Builder. Simply plug in the PDAC components and you are ready to develop applications. Pervasive has taken great care to ensure that any developer familiar with the BDE development model can quickly and easily use the PDAC components.

Performance is optimized through the automatic use of Extended Operations, and Pervasive.SQL Transactional methods (Btrieve) may be mixed with PDAC operations without loss of state information. PDAC can be used standalone (without any BDE dependencies) or coincident with the BDE. PDAC works with all built-in and most third-party (Woll2Woll, Orpheus, etc.) "bound" controls.
