Says the author... lol.
Actually though, I'm running a TDbf based app with around 300,000 records total (across multiple tables) and performance is excellent.
The real problem in scalability is that it's not a true transaction based system, and if your app or PC crashes it has a tendency to corrupt the database.
But, for an individual application needing to store data it's wonderful! If you're looking for multi-user with multiple database server backends, it's not the product for you.
