Embarcadero dnes uvedlo na trh FireDAC, což je už dříve zmíněná knihovna AnyDAC. Myslím si, že to je velký krok.
(logo teda nic moc :-))
Nějakou dobu si s tím hraji a je to fakt moc pěkné. Knihovna je zdarma dostupná majitelům XE3 Enterprise a výše. K profesional se dá přikoupit za 10.500,- .
FireDAC - produktová stránka, stažení pokud máte nárok.
A tady je zakopaný pes - píše se k XE3, ale v článku Marca Cantu (product manager Delphi) je psáno Professional bez XE3 a navíc je tam dotaz:
Older versions?
What about FireDAC for XE2, XE, or even older versions?

A Marco odpověděl:
The current version of FireDAC has source code and packages that will
work also with older versions of Delphi, and the license allows that.
Což nic nevysvětluje. Každopádně instalátor nepodporuje přímo jiné IDE, ale pokud mu dáte parametr např. /IDE:DXE, /IDE:DXE2 nebo tak to projde. Případně /SHOWIDE.
Kompletní licence přímo z instalace:

Na AnyDAC se mi moc líbí kromě rychlosti, možností i množství podporovaných DB. Na semináři v Brně se určitě dozvíte více.
