Database Experience

I use Serendipity Database--Binary, or SDB.

>What prompted your choice ?

I had used a HyperTalk predecessor to SDB for almost a decade, and I 
wanted a native Transcript database application that can be deployed 
on all Revolution platforms without DLLs, extensions, or Unix command 
line syntax.  I also wanted a db engine I could modify & extend when 
it becomes desirable.
