I am not saying that MySQL won't work, rather that Postgres has a 
similar 'feel' to using Oracle.  All the concepts are similar.  On the 
other hand, while I have never tried MySql, just from perusing this 
list, it does seem to have more problems with library versions, etc.

It probably really is worth satisfying yourself that you can do this 
with a dbase (or other local) table first - it does work.

To be fair, while you could do what you are saying with simple stuff 
into local (dbase/paradox) tables, I can't ever remember being able to 
do that in 'Real World' applications using Delphi 4 C/S into Oracle, of 
which I did quite a bit.

It will - I even have Delphi 1 running on XP (don't ask why !) as well 
as using D4 extensively on it, due to some applications that use paradox 
dbs.
