- The amiga does indeed have a good database system. it is called SBase Professional. a completely
- relational database with programming language and forms editor. it is not SQL, however it does
- have some queery automation, and can be programmed to do anything you might want. support is
- spotty at best, however there are rumors of an update in the works. As you can see from my
- signature, I use SBase in a professional capacity.
