Now I'm confused. What part of 'interface to the Windows world' can't you do with UniVerse? It has UO.net - which is cleaner and faster than any other DB interface I've used - ADO.net, OleDB, ODBC, Web Services, nacent support for Entity Framework (though what will happen to the ADO.NET provider following the sale is up in the air) .. The only thing it really lacks is a good native mode PHP provider. Calling Basic subroutines from any of these is no harder than calling SQL stored procedures. Of course, SQL Server has an excellent development tool - it's called Visual Studio. So does UniVerse - it's called Visual Studio. You don't get as many wizards when using UniVerse, but then if you're doing any real development against SQL Server you will ignore the wizards anyway.. Oh, and back tracking a little, UniVerse does support referential integrity if you define your files as SQL tables. It has the same CASCADE option found on other RDBMS. Just 'cos people don't use it, don't mean it ain't there.
