And don't forget Access!

CSV files ...
JSON data ...
XML ...
I've seen people in QA trying to treat them as databases, yes ... "Insert" and "Delete" normally throw them, and "Update" generally shoves a very large spanner in the works!

I maintain 20+ years old apps, they are using .DBF files, originally in CA-Clipper language.
It is a xBase family language, the most known is probably VFP (Visual Fox Pro).
It is very light weight database without server.
Years ago, I switched to Harbour/xHarbour and looking to switch again to xSharp when I have time.

Missing Option: No Database.
I am not using any database, but the results we generate (in local folder) are imported to a SQL database by a tool done by other department.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
