OK John, consider this scenario:
I have a data-set that will never grow beyond 10 mb's. However, the data set contains confidential information and needs inherent security. Also, because of certain requirements, a detailed transaction log needs to be kept.
Is the data-set small? Yes.
Will DBF's work? No.
I could have taken this example further to really skew it toward SQL-Server, or some other server RDBMS. Then again, I did'nt have to.
This is an interesting discussion. Let's keep it going...

If an application is never going to grow beyond a set, reasonable amount of users I was advocating sticking with the good ole DBF format.
