Powerbuilder supports Allbase/SQL, it may be easier to migrate to
Allbase since IMAGE is not a relational database and you would
lose some major benefits of data relating in Powerbuilder.
On example is you can not add keys on the fly in IMAGE, it
is quite possible that if you related tables in SQL and had
some sort of interface to IMAGE, the table will relate without
the use of keys, therefore giving a very unefficient record
transaction.
