I have been teaching Allbase/SQL allready to hundreds of students
at Helsinki Business Polytechnic for some years, and I would add
 - It is a reliable DBMS and easy to manage
 - Works just the way RDBMS shall do according to the SQL-92 standard
   and the database literature

Good questions.  We try to arrange SIG ALLBASE meeting at the
Midnight Lights '96 meeting June 10-12, and I invite everyone
interested in the future of Allbase/SQL to attend the meeting.
 
Please send your suggestions for the agenda to my email
address at Helsinki Business Polytechnic
