A captain reported departing teb runway 19 on the dalton departure which was given to them verbally ...

Narrative:

Upon recieving the initial ground clearance from clearance delivery; the instruction was to fly the dalton departure. I replied we did not have the dalton in our database; and thus was issued the TEB6 departure. Once at runway 19; tower stated there could be a significant delay to depart on the TEB6; and asked if we wanted the dalton for an expedited departure. Once again I stated we did not have it in our database. He stated he would give it to us verbally; which we copied. Part of the read was 'maintain VFR to 1300 feet'; and as the departure altitude was 2000' not stated ammended we believed it was VFR to 1300'; and then under IFR control to 2000'. Once on departure control they had expected us to be at 1300'; and stated there could have been a conflict. Changed departure procedure with verbal instructions.
