I'll have a look at the code, but it looks like you're saying it's a
slightly wider scope than just dBase.  Don't hold your breath :-)


We get editable relations from relational database servers if the connecting database driver supports this. So called "file based databases" are: dBase, plain text (csv), spreadsheets, mail client address books, LDAP provide a minumum of functionality, mainly because most of them are no databases at all. dBase is the only editable and indexable type of file based database and the built-in driver should support relations as well. File based databases are important sources for mail merge. Spreadsheets are most commonly used but worst choice.

Supported SQL functions of file based databases:
