Can anyone offer any help with the following? I need to find a relational DBMS for the Mac which is callable from Hypercard (presumably in an XCMD). Does there exist, or is there information on, or even rumors about, a function-callable DBMS with the following characteristics? 1) It supports a reasonably complete query language. 2) It supports multi-attribute keys for a particular table. (Lots of databases currently available seem to have problems with this one). This is a MAJOR requirement - for my application a system without it is useless. 3) It's not so slow that a user would complain while it grinds away for minutes on some reasonably trivial search. Note that I DON'T need simultaneous multi-user capability, or a particularly interesting user interface (I won't use it), or many of the other bells and whistles lots of the new systems seem to have.
