We are considering using Ashton-Tate's dBase-IV for a production
application.  I have no experience with dBase myself.  I know the SQL
portion of dBase-IV is buggy.  Our in-house "dBase expert" believes
we're safe if we use no SQL, relying instead on the traditional dBase
programming language, application generator, etc.  Is he correct?
