There are several things that would help us provide an answer.
Volumes of data. Number of transactions per second/hour/day. Preferred
operating system. Deficiencies of your present system - what are they?
How do they impact on your business? How much RAM does your server
have? Current server configuration. Do you have hardware plans also?
My own personal choice would be to invest in Dephi as the front end
and then use Firebird and/or PostgreSQL as the backend. Both of these
open source dbs will run on minimal hardware and a variety of
operating systems and are very powerful and have paid support
available if required, often by the very people who write the dbs in
the first place.
There are any number of free development environments out there also.

When asking database related questions, please give other posters
some clues, like operating system, version of db being used and DDL.
The exact text and/or number of error messages is useful (!= "it didn't work!").
Thanks.
Furthermore, as a courtesy to those who spend
time analysing and attempting to help, please
do not top post.
