title: Advantage Database or SQL Server
body: <p>I have a client that currently uses a local Advantage Database on their PC along with an application.  They are thinking of upscaling their setup to have multiple applications running communicating with a database server i.e/a client-server environment.</p>
  
  <p>They are now considering the best database for this approach.  They are looking at the Advantage Database Server product in comparison to SQL Server Express(the application does not warrant a full SQL Server at this stage).</p>
  
  <p>Obviously SQL Server is a more well known product probably with more support but I was hoping you could give me some opinions and thoughts on what you think the best product would be in terms of performance, stability and support.</p>
  
  <p>One thing to note although not directly relevant is that the application is currently written in Delphi and there could be a move to C# to bring it up to date.</p>
