Hi,

We are looking for a database platform to replace Paradox.� Our existing
application uses Paradox which often gets corrupt indexes and
databases.� We are thinking of going to Oracle or Raima's Velocys or
even Access with SQL server.� As you can imagine
we are unsure of which way to turn.� The bottom line is we want a
scalable sturdy platform. An added bonus is to be able to
easily convert our existing code and databases for use with the new
platform.

Any help with this matter is greatly appreciated.� Even any direction on
where to get more help would be great.

Thanks in advance
Gabriele

Hello,

I am just starting with it myself, but take a look at MySQL at
http://www.tcx.se/ . There is a free Delphi Interface component,
TMySql available. I have also used this a little and so far no
complaints. The database is fast, and you can set up local or remote
connections to the DB via the internet. The interface to the DB does
not have to go through ODBC, but there is an ODBC driver available.

HTH,
Barry.
