Rick, If by SQL interface you mean a the SQL standard, the answer is no. Superbase Professional is strictly an Amiga type program, that is it is designed to provide a point and click approach. However, it does have a programming language which is essentially a modified Basic. It has a pretty standard ANSI Basic augmented by database commands which allow you to do everything in the language you could do with the mouse. It seems to me that AMiga type programs tend to be more mouse oriented, like MAC programs, such that an SQL standard interface may not be necessary to provide good DBMS control. However, Superbase has an excellent query interface which permits most of what SQL will permit. It is also relational to the same extent that Dbase III is relational, except that Joins and Projects are supported normally in Superbase. As I recall from Dbase II days, Joins were supported, though buggy, and Projects were not. I believe this was rectified in Dbase III. Steve
