How would you compare: - ledger text files, - what you refer to as "secure database", - old-school paper? The question is, what do you mean by "secure". Do you mean "encrypted"? Why not encrypt text files? Do you mean "backed up"? I do backups of my files daily. Do you mean atomicity of operations? I'm not very familiar with that, but with not-so-high volume of hand-input transactions, this shouldn't be a big deal, no?
