I'm confused about what Borland means when they say Delphi provides "native access" to Oracle.

Does this mean that the Oracle Call Interface (OCI) is directly available at a programmatic level? Or is some subset of OCI available through Borland's Integrated Database API (IDAPI)? Most importantly, how much of the OCI functionality is available directly from Delphi's database controls?

Finally, could someone describe the default transaction model provided by Delphi's database controls?

Thanks in advance,

Felipe Vera
