In the past, I tried replacing the system Bbase (which I use) by EDS.
During attempts, I noticed that in both cases, the indexing and searching occurrences require heavy code.
But it becomes much easier if we use text files with pre-formatted fields
This way also makes it easy any repairs, because the data is written in a way that a human can read and write with any text editor.
Any attempt to repair files like Dbase or EDS, using a text editor is almost certain failure.
Thus, for small data systems (up to a 10 MIB) I think more practical to use a text file and manages it with programming.
