My $0.02 :
The main purpose of a dBase driver to me would be to do
one-off transfers from legacy applications. I can't
imagine anyone wanting to use dBase as a back-end for a
new GNUe application. Are there any more "modern" RDBMS
systems that use the dBase format *natively* (as opposed
to an import/export option)?
I have heard (but never seen/used it) of a product called Fortress which
is a RDBMS that uses dbf files to store the data. I've understod that
it is possible for Fortress to use dbf files that already exist , and
combine
those files into a database with transactions, odbc access and other
goodies.
The guy who told me about it was quite confident that Fortress is a good
path for him (he is migrating his applications from dbf files to 'real'
databases ;
the development tool he uses is CA Visual Object which is able to use
both dbf files and odbc ).
After a little googling i could found this link about Fortress :
