I am trying to determine which DB should be used for a desktop application I
am developing.

The main criteria I was going by are:
    1.  No fees for deployment
    2.  No BDE
    3.  Fairly easy to deploy.

I was thinking using Access and ADO, but the more I think about it, the less
I like the way Access works.  I work with Oracle everyday and I like the
idea of using a DB that actually works like a DB should.

What are non-BDE DB alternatives?  I could use ADO to ODBC so any ODBC aware
DB should fit the bill.  Interbase?  Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere??

Any suggestions are welcome.
