The June 1992 issue of MacUser had a review comparing 4 relational database
managers: FoxBASE+, Omnis 7, Double Helix and 4th Dimension. These all
provide much more power in general than FileMaker, and also generally cost
a lot more. They may be more than you need for your application. The review
indicated that FoxBASE+ was generally faster at most operations than the
other 3, but probably required more programming effort to make a useable
application. I have used Omnis 7 and find it to be a very good product
in general.
