But the more important point is, that doing so causes a 3rd party dependency (tiOPF or ZMSQL). With DBF, it comes standard with FPC - I like that.

I love using DBF for demos because I don't need any database server or 3rd party DLL/SO files etc. It is also one of very few database systems that can be fully compiled into a [small] FPC based executable with ease.

The unit bufdataset uses unit bufdataset_parser, which uses the units dbf_prscore and dbf_prsdef and so forth. Those units are not marked deprecated. Are they still maintained? Do they need maintenance ? Does dbf need maintenance? I would think not. I am extremely surprised to see it marked 'deprecated'.
