[comp.sys.atari.st] ST Relational Databases

I'm looking for a relational Database for the ST.

I'm an Informix user and would like to find something similar (SQL)?

What's available?

As far as I know the only relational database system for the Atari ST with
SQL is Regent Base II. I once played around with it and it made a good
impression. However, I haven't come to do some serious work with it. (And
perhaps never will.)

Regent is apparently out of business, so you may be able to get a good
price on RegentBase.  I did.

It is too bad too because it is well done.  The forms handler and
procedural language interface reminds me alot of Ingres.

Warning: If you use NEODESK 3 then when you exit Regent Base, NEO
bombs.
