I've also purchased RealBasic, and I'm looking into using it for
small apps using it's RealDB engine, but so far it seems harder to
write database apps in RealBasic than it does in Studio. I think
there's a lot more extra stuff you have to do in RealBasic to make
it work - but maybe it's just my familiarity with the other
environment... That being said, I've started writing Pacman in
RealBasic, and my sons have been doing the artwork (if anyone's
interested, email me:). I have a basic working game, just got to
iron out the quirks.
Out of the three environments, I think Studio's the best for
database apps, especially cross-platform. The runtime "tax" is
really the only downside. PHP is a possibility (and free!), but
only if you know SQL, and some HTML. RealBasic has promise, but
nothing solid yet.
