Is dbase considered obsolete? There was a time when it was more prominent that SQL, but now it seems largely dying…
dBase as a DB system seems to have just about died out now. The owning company is still in business, so technically, it’s not dead.
That being said, the dbase formatted files (dbf) are still used. However, I think it’s hard to justify using dBase for any new development, especially now that there are so many superior single file database solutions, such as SQLite.
These provide far superior options, especially when doing operations across multiple tables.
