Mark,
  Do you need a *Relational* database or not?  Do you need a distributed
  database or not?
  Regarding stats packages for OS/2, I think SAS looks pretty good
  (See the writeup in the IBM Personal Systems Developer Spring 91 Issue).
  Also, IBM sells Personal AS which is now a PM app. It has an interesting
  filesystem as well as hooks into IBM's DBM. Oracle's DBM has a great
  set of development tools as well as being fully distributed...
