dBase uses ISAM as its access method for data just like everything else. There are modernized variants of dBase/Clipper. Most of the modernization efforts had been to tack on a gooey and gratuitous windows misfeatures just for the sake of checkbox compliance. Fortunately most of those hideous things died. The original xBase/Clipper works just the same now as it did then. Plus, it runs so fast on modern hardware that it will blow your socks off and make you wonder why you go anywhere near this modern bloated ultraslow crapware at all.
There are still currently maintained xBase and Clipper environments. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:sqlite-users- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Nataraj S Narayan > Sent: Monday, 2 September, 2013 00:34 > To: General Discussion of SQLite Database > Subject: Re: [sqlite] Is SQLite a DBMS? > > Gee... > I started out in late 80's as a Dbase III+ coder. > Then it was the defacto DBMS on the PC. > Wonder if it still relevant in any serious application in these days. > > regards > Nataraj > > > On Mon, Sep 2, 2013 at 11:58 AM, Darren Duncan > <[email protected]>wrote: > > > I don't think that being ACID and SQL compliant is the definition of a > > DBMS, far from it.
