OK, let's see:
As far as the vocabulary, no, sorry, that's from [a number greater than
what I'm going to admit] years of working in the DB space on lots of
platforms and on lots of very interesting problems.

The reason for using the server is that it takes most of the work out for
you, and you just worry about talking to it.  Transactions, triggers,
semaphores, record locking, etc. can all be handled that way.  Now once you
get into multi-stage commits, you and I have to talk because that's a topic
that is generally beyond the scope here.

You could, if your data set was not abhorently large, also use LC's fields
as your database, and go old school with creating a card for each record,
etc.  Then if you communicate with the stack, you're really just
communicating with a "crude" database server.
