Hi!

I don't investigated this. The application I made is quite little from this point of view, no more than 5 users will use it simultaneously. I agree that large applications are better with pure RDBMS systems, like VFP or combinations of --. could be Delphi too, and this is very good thing. I have seen Delphi application that manages huge SQL Server database for 20+ users simultaneously with quite complex functionality.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs

It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
