It seems that currently the possible tools for OS/2
database application development are:

- Sybase/Microsoft SQLserver
- Gupta SQLbase
- Oracle OS/2
- IBM DataBase Manager 

The best reviews have been given (by InfoWorld) to SQLserver.
Also it seems that most of the user interface tools are first
made for it (and for the IBM DBmanager in the EE).

But how it is with Gupta's SQLbase? 
It has a relatively good user interface via SQLwindows
(almost as good as Mac's 4-Dimesion), and they claim to
follow the DB2 standards...
Any experience?

thanks for comments!
