Good choice for local data: it's effectively a disconnected view against central data, survives network outage, works fine on Atom or other low-power hardware with memory usage limited to 32Mb and still runs like a scalded cat. There are other viable options but this one definitely meets the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" test AND VFP's autospanning between disk and memory means it's going to scale indefinitely.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
