Sequel is a COM server that provides an automation object for high-level interface of ODBC. Its usability ranges from programming with Delphi, C++ Builder, Visual Studio, and VBScript to creating active server pages.
There are many existing database engines available today, but most of them are overly complex and difficult to understand or too slow due to the utilization of visual database components. However, this is not the case with Sequel. It is written as an automation object - the COM server. This allows users to take full advantage of COM when programming with various languages such as Delphi, C++ Builder, Visual Studio, Visual Basic Scripting, or creating active server pages.
Users have the flexibility of choosing between early or late bindings in Sequel, depending on their desired level of application and database integration. Sequel operates as a high-level programming interface while ODBC works at a lower level, thereby ensuring that applications directly interact with the database without third party involvements.
The performance of Sequel is maximized through its simplicity, with a reduced number of database methods logically implemented as object methods. Sequel offers uniform data handling and ensures that all provided features by the database system are utilized in the SQL way. This guarantees fast and efficient database operations with no excess ballast. Overall, Sequel is an excellent software for anyone looking to interact with databases using SQL.
