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

Our initial tests have shown at least a 100% increase in the performance of applications built with Titan, and the reduction in the size and number of files to distribute has been decreased dramatically. All of the benefits come with the added ability to use 3rd party components such as InfoPower and Orpheus.

Titan SQLAnywhere uses the same SqlAnywhere function calls that Sybase calls when using embedded SQL in C programs. This API is undocumented, but fully supported by Sybase. This API is the same one that their ODBC driver calls. This is where we get our speed.

BDE Alternatives Guide Comments:

Sybase considers both ODBC and the interface mentioned above "native" for SQL Anywhere.

The vendor indicates that Titan SQLAnywhere is the only Delphi SQLAnywhere interface to provide you with access to your blob fields that are larger than 32k. However, the SQLA ODBC driver has been fixed, so it is now possible to use large BLOBs via the ODBC solutions as well.

I [Kyle] tried this product, and except for a few glitches in the early version I was using, it was a fast and easy way to access SQL Anywhere data.
