- Actually, it is somewhere between minimally relational and relationally
- complete, it is not fully relational... It's a technicality. I would
- not recommend SBase Pro any longer as Oxxi isn't supporting it. It's
- form design is pretty good, but you would be better off to use a true SQL
- database and front-end it with either code or a web interface. Of course
- this more work, but the results would probably be better. If SBase had
- continued in development it would have become a good product like its
- Windows (SuperBase) counterpart. I whole-heartedly agree, we need a good
- SQL database (not simply just a relational one); preferably compatible
- with one of the "big" vendors to help in integration.
