A quick follow up on this one - PrimeBase is presently available for all the
above platforms and so is quite portable (and pretty reasonably priced).
Cloudscape looks pretty cool but in terms of development time to market it
might be a little confusing.  I'd be a little concerned with overall
performance of running my dB under MRJ, but I can see how that level of
portability has some appeal.

Good luck!
