Point well taken.

There's a company in Connecticut called SofDesign (203.629.0970) which has  
a database product called QuickBase that has SQL capabilities and is  
priced under $200.  I spoke with them twice and they did not hit on my  
Bozo radar.  Other than that, since I have not used it, I cannot endorse  
their product.  Maybe someone who has used QuickBase can give a quick  
summary of their reaction to the product.
