At least in SQLite you can define memory: as the target of a database.
From the docs it seems that SQLite also does some of the automatic spill to disc when memory is full
(temp tables for joins etc are in memory), but dunno if it is as sophisticated as vfp.

creating indeces in a mem table is the same as on disc.

in python SQLite is part of the deploy package with the standard Py dbApi to access,
so I'd say integration is 30% of vfp, can be brought to ~55 by using some libs.
