FM Pro is nice for putting together a list of your CDs and records, and it works ok for contacts in a small business, but it's pitifully inadequate for serious database work, even with the $1,000 FM Pro Server. I gave up after version 3.0, but at that time you couldn't even set a field to format as a telephone number, and Claris' laughable explanation was that such a field would make internationalization efforts difficult. If Oracle took FM Pro, made it a SQL front-end, and added some sort of script translator, it would be one hell of a good migration path for the many FM Pro users out there to the Oracle-Rhapsody database product line. So the rumor makes some sense.
