I use AppleWorks to catalogue my quintet's music library. We have
fields for Number, Title, Composer, Arranger and when the piece was last

up a piece, I can do it easily.
Question: is AppleWorks Database Flat or Relational?
The way you're using it, it's a flat-file database.
Relational databases don't need to be used relationally,
when that's not necessary. It's all in how the database is
set up that makes it relational or flat-file.
Some data-base management programs don't allow for
relational databases, but all allow for flat-file databases,
even if the program can do relational database work.
I'm on PC so I don't know the current version of Appleworks,
but years ago it was definitely flat-file only.
