It is dificult to say, but I 'd say majority of VFP apps.

In our little island here, there are few VFP shops selling apps
using both dbc/dbf and/or MSSQL/ORACLE/etc. From what I know,
90% (if not more) of clients installations are well taken care of,
just by using DBC/DBC. But I left software market while ago.

FYI, I still see all bunch of DOS apps doing their jobs
in flower shops, bakeries, kiosks, pizza places etc.
It is hard to believe that they are secretly connecting to some
10.000 <>...N+1 worth of MSSQL or ORACLE installations :)
