Alright, you can lock this topic if you wish, I just thought it would be a interesting one.

First off the main rule of this topic: NO FLAMMING/Hate posting! If you dislike a database system explain why in a RATIONAL explication. Which leads us into the second rule:

If you voice your opinion you MUST state your position AND _Explain_ WHY you feel that you're right.

There is NO right and wrong to opinions, your all entitled to feel the way you should.

Now, that you know the rules, what database system, in your opinion, falling into the best system ever programmed?

Ideas (Just to name a few):
- XML
- MySQL
- Flat Files
- SqLite

Before i can say anything, i would like to know how you define 'database system'.



Personally i've had reasons to use XML, MySQL, Flat Files and SqLite (but just as people refuse to name something that doesn't support multi-users an operating system, i have reasons not to name the mentionned technologies database systems) because at that time they seemed the best answer to the problems i was facing then..

I think this person probably needed to use the term RDBMS (Relational Database Management System)?
XML and flat files do not fall into that category, but there are perfectly valid reasons to use such to solve certain problems, as timvw stated.
