Not sure if I'll be banned from this list for saying this :)

For embedding with possible scaling to a multi-user environment you
might want to take a look at Firebird (www.firebirdsql.org).

It's not as feature reach as Postgres and the documentation is very poor
compared to PG (because of licensing issues everything is spread in
different places). But it is a good engine and does integrate well with
Delph as far as I know.
