...Which is incorrect. Oracle for Macintosh has SQL support.

Also, some transaction-oriented database servers also provide Mac and
Hypercard drivers. (Translation: Big database engines that run on
separate computers, often minis and mainframes, to which one can send
SQL over a network to be processed, are now providing Macintosh
drivers for inclusion in programs, and are even providing Hypercard
X's.)

But hey, HyBase is still cool. They're the garage heroes.
