I am starting with Firebird and have found components to access a database by Devart.
They offer native components (IBDAC) or DBExpress drivers. (I am using Delphi XE2 Pro which doesn’t include Firebird drivers)

I guess native components are a bit faster, but that’s not too important for me.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of each approach and why should I choose one over the other?

    IBdac

    • your application is tied to firebird
    • you are familiar with bde or ado
    • performance
    • maximal Firebird support

    DBexpress

    • portability (it is easy to port you application to anther database).
    • upgrade pro edition to enterprise so you can use one supplied by
