Which Database?
Hi,
I am engaged in a large-size multi-tiered database project. At the frist, I decided to use Oracle however, I am not sure about stability of using Oracle in Delphi.
Do you know any better replacement?
If I want to produce a desktop application what is your suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

I think,Oracle is the best choice.
Delphi and oracle combinanation is very stable. Delphi's dbgrid even have support for nested tables a feature of oracle.
Your second option is MS SQL server it is not as stable but does the job. Note that on some version of NT(NT Terminal Server) SQL causes a memory leak.

Flooder, what is your idea about InterBase?
In addition, do you have any idea for desktop database?

I have not worked with Interbase but according to D5 Developers Guide it has a few very nice features and D4 Unleashed also recommends it as a good database.
It can handle large amounts of records.
For a desktop database I would say Paradox is the way to go.

Interbase will shortly be open source and free it is starting to look like a very nice middleware database.
