ADOTools Component (with source code)

As a software for managing Access databases, ADO is a reliable tool that many have come to depend on. However, one thing that it lacks is a direct method for compacting a database. This can be frustrating for users, especially those accustomed to having such functionality readily available.

Thankfully, there is a solution in the form of the TMyADOTools non-visual component. This component provides a range of additional features beyond what is offered by ADO, including the ability to compact databases. It also offers functions for refreshing data from the cache, and creating and maintaining replicated databases.

Downloading the file for TMyADOTools gives you access to Delphi packages and a sample application that showcases the component's capabilities. This makes it easy to get a sense of whether this tool is right for your needs without having to invest time in installing the component and experimenting with it yourself.

Overall, if you're looking for a way to expand your database management capabilities beyond what ADO offers, TMyADOTools is definitely worth considering. With its compacting capabilities and additional features, it's a powerful tool that can help you get even more out of your Access databases.
