I'm not an S-Base user but I lurk here, partly because I wanted to know
more about the product in case I ever decided to use it. The rumours
I've read about it mostly suggest it's very complicated, and not too well
documented.

BUT, maybe it's aimed at professional programmers? And maybe the doc is
aimed at programmers too - if that's so then I'd expect "normal" users to
feel all at sea. I guess it would also depend on how much a user or
programmer already knew about database theory, especially how relational
databases work.
