One piece of advice: If you are going to be using Delphi to access Oracle,
get DOA (Direct Oracle Access) at http://www.allroundautomations.com . Dead
easy to use, and WAY more stable than the likes of OO4O or ODBC, and I've
heard too many complaints about the instability of BDE (no personal exp
there, tho')

Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas
are any good,
you'll have to ram them down people's throats.
