Castalia transforms the Borland Delphi programming environment into a highly productive coding platform. Living on the bleeding edge of development technology, Castalia helps programmers write better code faster, understand existing code more accurately, and improve the design and quality of existing code.
No matter how good tools like VCL, ASP.NET, and ECO get, programmers writing any application of significant scope will ultimately need to write some code. Castalia helps developers write new code faster and more accurately by speeding up many common programming tasks, catching errors before they become problems, and removing obstacles that can distract developers and hinder quality code production.
As a programmer, most of your time is spent reading code. You may be reading your own code, someone else's code that you wish to learn from, or working with code that someone else has written with the goal of changing that code. In every case, it is very important that you fully understand what the code does - both what the author's intent is, and how the compiler will react to that code. Castalia provides a number of features that help you to understand existing code better.
Most programmers spend a significant amount of time maintaining and improving existing code. Those that don't usually wish they could, often seeing old code and knowing they could improve it, but not having the time or the resources to do so. Castalia removes the barriers that prevent programmers from practicing good code maintenance techniques, including code navigation tools and the most innovative refactoring tools available for Delphi.

SQL Server Data Access Components (SDAC) library offers a set of nonvisual components for Borland Delphi and C++ Builder. They provide access to Microsoft SQL Server and are an alternative to a standard way of accessing databases using Borland Database Engine (BDE).
SDAC uses OLE DB directly through a set of COM-based interfaces that expose data from a variety of sources. OLE DB interfaces provide applications with uniform access to data stored in diverse information sources, or data stores. These interfaces support the amount of DBMS functionality appropriate to the data store, enabling the data store to share its data.
Using BDE in MS SQL Server oriented client/server applications has some deficiencies. In many cases BDE community are unable to employ server specific features, they must tolerate excessive usage of resources, reduced speed of processing data, restricted distribution of an application anditsadministration.

There is so much to say about the ExpressLayout Control - unfortunately, words are not enough to fully describe its power and flexbility. ExpressLayout represents an entirely new way for Delphi and C++ Builder programmers to design and manage the layout of Windows forms. Once you start using it, your applications will never be the same again.
At the heart of the ExpressLayout Control lies a basic concept - You place controls within its 'groups' - the equivalent of container controls such as TPanel or TGroupBox. This in turn automatically gives your applications unique design time and runtime customization capabilities via a docking metaphor similar to the Delphi/C++ Builder IDE.
With the ExpressLayout Control, you are freed from manual, pixel-by-pixel positioning of individual controls and liberated from runtime screen resolution problems so common in Delphi/C++ Builder applications. Simply said, the ExpressLayout Control takes the miserably tedious process of UI layout and turns it upside down.
By linking the controls on your form - such as your grids, page controls, editors, etc - to the Layout Control, you immediately provide your products with highly sophisticated layouts, which end-users can manipulate as desired at runtime.

ExpressPageControl replaces and expands on the functionality offered by the traditional Win32 based TPageControl. Support for four visual styles including a new Visual Studio .Net flat style easily make it the most flexible page control available to Delphi & C++ Builder developers. All styles may be used regardless of the orientation (top, left, right, bottom) of the tabs. Furthermore, tabs may be hidden, allowing the ExpressPageControl to also encompass the functionality of the NoteBook control. A sorely needed improvement has been made over the standard PageControl in the OnChanging event allowing you to get the page to which the user is going to move. It allows you to not only disable leaving a particular page, but it also allows you to prevent a particular page from being entered. These last two improvements are specifically designed to help you create simple wizards.

When it comes to data mining and multi-dimensional analysis, an advanced and feature complete pivot table control provides business users unrivaled insights into daily operations. Until the release of the ExpressPivotGrid, however, using the pivot capabilities of products like MS Excel meant introducing "out-of-process" solutions within managed applications.
The ExpressPivotGrid Suite was engineered from the ground-up to blow away the limitations posed not just by these out-of-process solutions, but to radically improve the way in which data-centric applications deliver information to end-users. With its powerful data architecture, the ExpressPivotGrid is able to slice and dice information efficiently and provide customers with an extremely intuitive end-user experience. It delivers numerous layout customization options with total end-user control over each individual on-screen report. Regardless of the perspective, data can be rendered to answer business questions - and best of all - it allows you to focus on business rules rather than creating dozens and dozens of reports.
At Developer Express we know that your time is valuable and our goal has always been to deliver products that address your business needs, increase your productivity and offer the "wow" factor that helps you obtain loyal users for years to come. The ExpressPivotGrid demonstrates our commitment to these principles by offering developers like you a nearly endless set of options to dissect data yet do so in an elegant and efficient manner.

No longer will you have to create and re-create reports because of simple changes to your database or requests by users to group/sort data by new columns. No longer will you have to pull your hair out when a user requests a new report that was not in the original spec. By combining the ExpressPrinting System with the QuantumGrid and/or MasterView controls, your end-users can arrange data in any manner they see fit, and then print the contents of the control exactly as it appears on-screen.

High performance
Both online transaction and batch processing applications can benefit from Oracle's performance features. Direct Oracle Access, as the name suggests, directly accesses the Oracle Interface. This guarantees optimal performance for standard database access functions. Support for Array Fetching, Array DML, PL/SQL Blocks, PL/SQL Tables, Local Statement Caching and the Direct Path Load Engine enable you to optimize your application's performance critical functions even more.
Easy application distribution
A Direct Oracle Access application does not require middleware like the BDE or ODBC, it merely requires Oracle SQL*Net or Net8. Consequently you can deploy your application without many of the version dependency or configuration problems typically involved with middleware installation.
Oracle Package support
Most PL/SQL code in Oracle databases is programmed in packages. Direct Oracle Access provides a TOraclePackage component that allows you to easily call packaged program units without detailed declarations of these program units and their parameters. Furthermore Direct Oracle Access includes a Package Wizard that can generate classes to encapsulate the program units and record types defined in packages. This will make your Oracle packages a natural extension of the Object Pascal or C++ language.
TOracleDataSet
The dataset component in Direct Oracle Access supports Oracle record locking, record refreshing, server generated values, automatic sequence value generation, and BLOB compression. Master/detail relations can automatically be setup if a foreign key exists between the master and detail table or if the master table contains one or more collection columns or attributes (nested table or varray).
The TOracleDataSet can use much of the information in the Oracle Dictionary at run time. Server Constraints can be checked on the client, and constraint error messages can be read from a message table. Format masks, range values and default values can also be read from the dictionary. This allows you to create applications with a minimum amount of 'database knowlegde' compiled into the executable, dynamically adopting changes in the database without even recompiling it.
Oracle Monitor
To monitor the database access activities of your Direct Oracle Access application you can use the Oracle Monitor utility. It displays the SQL, variables, timestamp, elapsed time, network statistics, database statistics and query execution plan of each activity. This can be helpful to find performance bottlenecks, for tuning purposes, and to solve application errors.
Alert and Pipe events
The Oracle Server includes a dbms_alert and dbms_pipe package for event processing. The TOracleEvent in Direct Oracle Access can function as a receiver for these events. It works in a background thread of your application, and can propagate database events to the familiar object events. These events can occur synchronously or asynchronously with the main thread of your application.
SQL scripts
If you need to execute many data definition language (DDL) statements, for example to perform the database installation part of your application, you can use the TOracleScript component. It has a property editor that allows you to develop the script and the individual commands. The extendible script language follows the basic SQL*Plus syntax and supports all SQL statements. It also supports substitution variables to make your scriptscustomizable.
Advanced Queueing
To take advantage of the Advanced Queuing option of Oracle8 you can make use of the TOracleQueue component. The TOracleQueue component encapsulates the basic functionality of the DBMS_AQ package. It provides a convenient way to enqueue messages into a queue or to dequeue messages from a queue. Messages can be dequeued in a background thread of your application, and the events that are generated in threaded mode can occur synchronously or asynchronously with the main thread of your application.
Session Pooling
In server applications that frequently need to create sessions to process requests from client applications, it may be useful to use connection pooling. Without a pooling concept, each request could lead to an actual database logon and logoff. By using the TOracleSessionPool component, you can maintain a pool of database sessions that can be used and reused for different requests. You can define the minimum an maximum number of sessions in the pool, define the TimeOut behavior for idle sessions in the pool, and preset the username, password and database.
Support for Oracle specific features
Direct Oracle Access supports many Oracle specific features. Besides the features mentioned above, it supports Oracle8 and Oracle8i features like LOB Locators, Objects & References, XMLTYPE, Timestamps, Scrollable Queries, Password Expiration, External Procedure development, and the Oracle Services for MTS.

EurekaLog is the new Delphi and C++Builder add-in tool that gives your application (GUI, Console, Web, etc.) the power to catch all exceptions, memory leaks and detect infinite-loops and deadlocks. It generates a detailed log of the call stack at the point that raised the exception, showing unit, class, method and line no., (see this example), and displays it on screen and optionally sends it back to you via email or Web message (using the HTTP-S/FTP protocols or sending directly to your preferred "Web Bug Traking" tool), thus helping speed up the process of bug-location and resolution by a factor of 10!
EurekaLog is easy to use because it's fully integrated into the IDE - just rebuild your application to add this new capability. EurekaLog does not affect application performance (it runs only when an exception occurs) and increases compiled file size by just 0.5% - 4% (it uses this space to store some additional, compressed and encoded debugging information). EurekaLog only uses the compiled file, not the .MAP file.
EurekaLog is compatible with Delphi 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 2005 and 2006, and with C++Builder 5, 6 and 2006. It works on all Windows platforms, from Win 95 to Win Vista.

ProDelphi is a tool to measure the runtime of programs written in Delphi Object Pascal. First successful industrial usage of ProDelphi was in February 1998. Since then ProDelphi has been permanently improved. If an application is too slow, ProDelphi gives the necessary information to optimize it.
The principle of source code instrumenting, a sophisticated correction algorithm and the unique granularity of 1 CPU cycle guarantee to get correct measurement results. Because of the outstanding low measurement overhead even time critical applications can be measured. Integration into the Delphi IDE, a call graph and a handy viewer guarantee a fast optimization process.

Raize DropMaster is a set of 4 native VCL controls for use in Delphi and C++Builder. While the VCL components included with Delphi and C++Builder permit drag and drop between windows in the same application, DropMaster allows developers to add support for drag and drop between applications. The drag and drop can be between the developer's new application and existing applications such as the Microsoft Office suite, a web browser, etc., or between two custom-written applications.
DropMaster's functionality is divided according to whether you want to allow the user to drag from his application to elsewhere, i.e., a drag source, or from elsewhere to his application, i.e., a drop target. In addition to the actual drag and drop functionality, the components expose several events that allow the developer to get feedback on the drag and drop process while it is happening, or to modify it.

In the introduction to ReportBuilder, the reporting equation is described. The reporting equation divides reporting into four main activities:
data access + data process + report layout = report output
In ReportBuilder Enterprise, the goal is to deliver a full-fledged reporting solution to end users. This goal is achieved by each of these four areas. This screen shot of the ReportBuilder Report Designer shows the ergonomic design of the user-interface.
Each of the four areas of reporting has a representative notebook tab containing a visual environment for the creation and configuration of components within that area. The results of each area then become inputs to the next area: data feeds into calculations, calculations feed into components within the report layout, and the report layout is rendered into a preview of the report.

ReportBuilder is the defacto standard for Delphi reporting solutions. Delphi developers have consistently voted ReportBuilder Product of the Year (1999 - 2002) and Best Reporting Tool (1999 - 2003). The genesis of ReportBuilder was the desire to deliver a product that does for Reporting what Delphi has done for Windows programming. In that spirit, ReportBuilder provides both a RAD environment and an object-oriented platform for solving the reporting equation.
Use RAP to build portable reports. RAP enables developers and end-users to code calculations and event-handlers without Delphi. The run-time code can be saved with the report definition, outside of the application executable.
Distribute RAP royalty-free, as part of an end-user reporting solution. RAP adds a Calc tab to the Report Designer that provides an easy to use interface for coding report event-handlers.

With ReportBuilder Enterprise, you get everything included in ReportBuilder Professional, plus the RAP language, which allows developers and end users to code calculations and complex event handlers at run-time. RAP enables the entire report definition (data, calculations, and layout) to be stored outside of the application executable. (See What Is RAP?)

The results of each area then become inputs to the next area: data feeds into calculations, calculations feed into components within the report layout, and the report layout is rendered into a preview of the report. The implementation used by ReportBuilder Enterprise for each area of reporting is described below.
Data
Within the work environment of the Data tab, end users can quickly create dataviews, which can then be used to supply data to reports. Dataviews are usually created via the Query Wizard or Query Designer. Both of these tools are visual; they also allow the end user to select the tables, fields, search criteria, and sort order necessary for the report. Behind the scenes, an SQL statement is generated and used to retrieve the data from the database. A screen shot of a completed dataview is shown below.
The solution described above is the standard behavior within the data workspace. However, the developer can customize this user-interface by doing one of three tasks:
1. Register a replacement query wizard or query designer.
2. Remove the query wizard or query designer.
3. Create new dataview template classes that can simplify the data selection process even further by establishing the relationship between the tables in the database and presenting an alternative user-interface (such as a single form that allows search/sort criteria to be entered).
The bottom line is that the Data area contains a turnkey solution that can be used out-of-the-box, but if customizations are needed, an architecture has been provided so that those customizations are possible.
Calc (RAP)
The Calc workspace is used to manage the RAP code associated with the Report. The Calc workspace contains a tree view of the report, all the bands within the report, and all the objects within each band. When a band or component is selected, all the events for that component are shown in a list. The user can then select an event and code the event handler in the syntax-sensitive code editor at the bottom. The following screen shot shows an OnPrint event as coded for a Line component.
This screen shot shows the Calc workspace in its most feature-rich and complex configuration. Development work completed here can be passed on to end users so that they can modify it, locked down so that end users can only view it, hidden completely so that end users do not know it is there. The most scaled-down version of the Calc tab is provided by the dialog only interface, where no Calc tab exists at all, and a single syntax-sensitive code-editor dialog is accessible from the Calculations. menu option of the variable component. The user-interface and behind-the-scenes architecture has been made highly scalable in order to meet the various needs of developers.
Design
The Design workspace contains the actual layout
