Hi Anita - welcome to the world of Universe and Unidata. Firstly Universe is the name of the database and "Universe Basic" the name of the embedded language which you may want to call stored procedures.
So yes - there is a language called Universe Basic or Uni Basic. Based upon Basic it has all the necessary functions required to handle the multi dimensional nature of a Universe/Unidata database. The learning of this could be considered a big topic and probably not possible via mail. I am sure some people on here will post some resources for you, alternatively you can contact your IBM Var who will provide training for you. With regard to your Delphi app - well this question is asked all the time in many environments - how much processing should i do on the server and how much on the client - Only you can answer that for your needs, but it is possible to do it all on the server if you want your Delphi app to be fairly lightweight - or of course you could do it all in Delphi if you want to make it "any database". Good Luck Symeon.
