Hi, What is the best database to use with Delphi? I am udating an existing application, Delphi3 with BDE and Paradox. I will be using Delphi 5. I want to stop using the BDE. What would be the best choice for reliable, inexpensive (or free) databases? And what is the best way to connect to them. It is database with app. 70 tables, with many-to-many relations, and does serahc, so speed may be important. Like: Delphi + Interbase / Firebird Delphi + MySQL And connect through special components, or ADO, or ??

I changed a paradox app to interbase (6.0.1.6) still using bde (too much time to complete code ). The best would be using ibobjects.

If you buy the developer edition from microsoft sql server ( ~ 60 $) you can use MSDE for your customers for free. Isn't Microsft SQL server is much more expensive than this? What is the MSDE?

And dbsiam fully compiles into your application and works together will all other standard database components. I do not know dbsiam. Where can I get it?
