DBase
dBASE database software was one of the first and in its day the most successful database management systems for microcomputers. The dBASE system includes the core database engine, a query system, a forms engine, and a programming language that ties all of these components together. dBASE's underlying file format, the .dbf file, is widely used in applications needing a simple format to store structured data.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: DBase
