I think the original recommendation for SQLite was for applications
either local to the computer, or accessed by only a few and not every
few seconds. It was a way to gain the advantages of dBase when
using other languages. Obvi

is a replacement for
dBase III. dBase III was very structured and provide the ability to
create forms with widgets.
IIRC dBase could make only CLI forms, not GUI forms. If one is willing

I was heavily into the xBase dialects from 1986 to 2000. I stared with
dBaseII, then dBaseIII, and was exposed to dBaseIII+. In those early
days I preferred dBaseIII over dBase III+ because in those days I had an
