Robert, SharePoint is Document Management System which can be linked with MS Office Apps. It has it's own storage and I think it using SQL. It high configurable but still SharePoint is not a tool for writing Business Database Applications on it's own.
Be upfront and tell them that many have tried this kind of approach before and end up spending a lot companies money and get no where or half way through. Also it depends on what DB does if it can be redone it SP or not. First question is find out why they want move to SP? What do they not like about 4D? Perhaps if you can purpose to solve that problem itself they might consider it. If they still want to let them try and waste money and come back to you in few years time.
