     Even more so, some will claim that xBASE can not do SQL.

     I do use navigational xBASE myself. For some areas, it works better. I also use SQL.

     Then, there is one program of mine which combines them. I could not do my query in only SQL. Now that I know SQL better, I still might not be able to. I will be working on that part of the program shortly. I will have another look.
