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.

If you like Oracle, then stick with it...  Just plug in the ADO Oracle
Provider to get to your Oracle data.....
