Not just an SQL interface (which implies indirect SQL access) but a fullblown SAA compatible version of SQL will be supplied with DBASE IV and will be the method of choice for accessing it (see DBASE IV article in June 88 issue of computer shopper). They're promising it around August and I understand current DBASE III users will get the upgrade for $175. SQL is a great method of accessing databases and DB2 is getting better with each new release. An understanding of SQL is key to access of databases in the future. This is really the first time that all hardware and software vendors seem to be in agreement on andard. This is less IBM's doing than the fact that E.F.Codd and Chris Date were working for IBM when the idea of relational databases was theorized by Codd. Boy did I go off on tangents. Anyway the new version of Dbase sounds goo.d It would be nice to have it on my Amiga.
