I don't know superbase, but in the worst case, check to see if you can
send re****ts to files. Then generating re****ts that cover all of the
data and sending them to files. You can then develop load scripts for
whatever new DBMS you plan to use.
And of course, an open source, free DBMS will be a good choice, one
with low DBA requirements (for when you are no longer there).
