Yes and no. No SQL, but SuperBase Professional is relational.

It is the only database that I have ever used, so I cannot
compare it to other databases.
It does support linking multiple databases together by a common
element. It has a complete language and built in editor (not so hot
editor). The language is Microsloth BASIC style with database
extensions. You need at least 1meg to think about running it.
It also includes a forms editor to create custom graphic displays
or printouts.
You can include external documents, pictures and sounds. Fairly
well amigatized. 
It has versions for GEM, and Atari, but not MessyDos (which is 
probly why it is well amigatized).
No copyprotection in the latest most expensive release.
