- These functions allow you to access records stored in dBase-format
- (dbf) databases.
- There is no support for indexes or memo fields. There is no support
- for locking, too. Two concurrent webserver processes modifying the
- same dBase file will very likely ruin your database.
- dBase files are simple sequential files of fixed length records.
- Records are appended to the end of the file and delete records are
- kept until you call dbase_pack().
- We recommend that you do not use dBase files as your production
- database. Choose any real SQL server instead; MySQL or Postgres are
- common choices with PHP. dBase support is here to allow you to
- import and export data to and from your web database, because the
- file format is commonly understood by Windows spreadsheets and
- organizers.
