If LO Base is not enough for you because you need more application
logic, then there are two VFP developers who have implemented their
own successor to VFP. Cross-platform, open-source, free. It's
called Dabo (www.dabodev.com) and it uses Python as the programming
language. If you've

Without composite keys you can't even implement M:N

As I said in my response above, the distinction that LO is making is

If it manipulates files directly it does it with simple, slightly
extended, text manipulation. LO has no database functionality
itself, for such functions it can only
I don't know if it will be suitable, but you can try Kexi (part of
Calligra suite, I believe; but you can install it separately). I
heard it is much better than LO Base, but I don't know enough to
verify that statement.
Kexi will become usable as soon as it supports composite (natural) keys.
I am still waiting for a database program that will allow
me to create applications (not pieces of applications, like queries
and forms) without having to learn C (this old dog is not going to
learn that new trick!).

I'm still don't understand what the structure of dBase2 is. How
can you use two or more tables in a query for example using this

Some light reading required?

I think the (incorrect) definition that is being used is whether LO
manipulates files directly or talks to a database engine.
I don't think there is a dBase or FoxBase engine. I'm pretty sure
there is a Visual FoxPro engine (John doesn't mention VFP, whyzatt
