I think you are talking "Open Source" world now. In the late 80's, early 90's things like Open Source Databas/Datashare compilers weren't even in anyone's dreams. What you saw was what you got. With no open source compilers to monkey with you just did what you had to, pretty or not.
Somebody did later write a Databus/Datashare to C translator and the Datapoint world beat a very deep pathway to his door! Shortly after that Datapoint was no more and his market evaporated. Sorry, this ain't SQLite at all. I'm done here.

It is a pointlesss activity when you think about it. Much better to have the C or whatever compiler have a different code generator, for example Java target code. You are not rev locked that way and if your C compiler optimizes well you have an efficient executable. Your JIT compiler still works. People would spend months translating program into error ridden monsters instead of spending less time working on a compiler and ending up with unchanged source with no added errors and which can be easily maintained in the origibal code with the comments still meaningful.
