Yes, but Delphi can be used for something other than database applications, I would suspect that that could account for their 3 to 1 sales. This is my same complaint aput Microsoft, exagerating sales of VB for client server development by not breaking the numbers down. I suspect that if you looked at the sales of the Client/Server version on Delphi and the Enterprise version of VB compared to PB the numbers would be closer or even in favor of PB.
