[comp.sys.amiga] Database Experiences/Recommendations?

I am trying to select a database program for the Amiga and the field seems
to be narrowed between dbMAN and SuperBase. Things I am looking for are   
                                                                         
        * Continuing support and development (bye-bye DataRetrieve)      
                                                                         
        * Professional quality programming language                      
                                                                         
        * adequate development environment (debugger, etc.)       
                                                                         
        * possible cross-computer development capability (MSD*S)            
 
Other goodies that would be nice are an ARexx port (hear that, Versatec?),
SQL interface someday (or even better: QUEL), embedded interface to C    
programs, record locking for multi-process/user applications...          
                                                                         
I would appreciate any and all experiences, recommendations, or warnings.
                                                                         
Thanks
