Re: [libreoffice-users] definition of flat/relational database

The main issue for me would be whether the database "management
system" (some call it "engine" or whatever) actually enforces
relational integrity (foreign key constraints) between tables.

In case of directly writing to DBF files from LO Base, I would guess
there's no enforcement.
