Britton-Lee Host Software supports both preprocessors and call-based
interfaces.  Since Britton-Lee supports transactions and views quite
nicely, thank you, you might want to consider the product.  On the 
other hand, the product involves buying a database machine.
On large enough installations, this may not be much more expensive than
a pure-software solution.  It's worth a look.
