From which database you are migrating? With BDE you already can use
(nearly) all other databases.

I am right now doing a major conversion of quite a big application
from dBL (programming language) using dBase-tables via BDE to a
D7-application using Firebird via FIB+.

application is used by about 40 concurrent users; we are a
service-company, so online-time during the day is quite long.

The project will be finished in about 16-18 months and I am somehow
within the timeline. First lesson would be to learn all differences
between table-oriented databases, and 'real' SQL-databases. Nearly
everything about locking and indexes is different between
paradox/dbase and Firebird. If you already are using BDE with - for
example - InterBase, you can save this part.
