title: PHP dBase as an alternative to SQLite
body: <p>I have read several comments here that dBase is a dead system and no one use it anymore. I compared dBase and SQLite in php, and in my test dBase has many advantages over SQLite and similar systems:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Its database file is much smaller</li>
  <li>Writing to the file is very faster with using a lesser amount of memory</li>
  <li>Growing the file size has a negligible effect on the query.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I admit that SQLite has a wider range of commands for a better flexibility; but what can be the reason of unreliability or incapability of dBase which sent it to the background?</p>
  
  <p>I have no idea about concurrent connections (though SQLite has serious limitations too). Please comment on this issue.</p>
  
  <p>Summary: Apart from functionality, I just wanted to know what is possible disadvantage of dBase in performance.</p>
