Agreed that FoxPro's xBase implementation is quite quick, but the fact that it's pushed as a high-performance multi-user engine is a bit of an insult. If one more of my clients calls me saying "Help! Our medical management software won't start! Help!" and it turns out that a reindex was attempted while someone was busy inserting pictures of fresh incissions I'll be very annoyed (and charging accordingly).
Regards,
Chris

Microsoft *bought* FoxPro; they didn't develop the database engine. FWIW, it is one of the fastest engines for local manipulation of data. I frequently use Visual FoxPro to grab data from a MySQL database, make the updates locally, and then pump the changes back. VFP rocks with MySQL!
