This is perfectly normal when storing decimals as floating points. Don't store exact numbers as doubles if you want exact precision. Doubles are floating point numbers and are imprecise by definition.
I don't know Delphi, but you need to use a precise decimal (eg BigDecimal in Java) in combination with a NUMBER or DECIMAL field on the database side.
