If you need serious SQL power, FrontBase is probably the best course;

There's also PostgresQL, Oracle, & Sybase ;-)

Agreed, but FrontBase is easily the most powerful (perhaps with Oracle, but I guess nobody would even consider using that brute unless one does for years, since its administration is proper nightmare).


See Greg Tuparev's results with the monster terabyte-level astro database of his: only two servers were able to support that kind of data: Oracle and FrontBase. The rest choked.

That aside, FrontBase is free (of course without backups etc., but it's great for starting a project cheap and scale up later), and the support those guys offer is tremendous.

Heck, looks like I sell the stuff :) Actually I don't (pity, would make for a nice income :)), just I've used a number of SQL servers (incl. Oracle or M$-SQL, which is a direct descendant of Sybase), and in my experience, the advantages of FB are considerable.
