Superbase Pro isn't a relational database. Or maybe it is... if so,
it's a very WEIRD relational database. For that matter, it's a rather
weird database period. I'll agree about the power... it has a built-in
BASIC-like programming language, so will do an aweful lot of odd
things. But -- easy to use? The documentation is miserable and
useless. I learned it mostly by playing around with the menus and
seeing what happened, despite readings the docs from cover to cover.
If Superbase ever became a best-seller, I'd make 6 figure dollars by
writing the first readable Superbase manual.

PS: A year ago, we nick-named Superbase "SuperBug". I'm playing with
sbpro3 right now... I'm curious whether they fixed all those bugs, or
merely replaced them with new ones. But at least they put out a new
revision, unlike SOME companies.
