BDE Alternatives Guide Comments:
Direct Oracle Access can be used in Delphi 2, but only supports data-aware controls in Delphi 3/4.
The Object version, listed above in the pricing section, supports Oracle8 LOB's and Objects extensions. Extensions like this are generally only available with native interfaces, so if you need them, Direct Oracle Access is your best (and only) option!
