Informix-SQL seems pretty clean on our Altos 3068.  On the other
hand, there seems to be some bugs in the ALL-II libraries.  We
converted a C program from an Altos 68000 to the 3068 which uses
this library to access the database and every once in a while it
can't find a record it was working with only moments before.  We
reported this to Altos but have heard nothing.  Our long term
solution was to recode in 4gl and these bugs make that option
considerably more attractive.
