I'm not sure what you mean by "true diskbase DBMS".

My intention in developing EDS was not to compete
with high-performance transaction processing systems.
I just wanted a really simple, flexible way for
Euphoria programmers to store and retrieve Euphoria data.
I've personally found EDS to be useful in more
situations than I originally expected.
It's nice to be able to store any kind of complex
variable-size sequence in a record. Other database
systems force you to have a fixed number of fields,
with each field limited to a fixed-size data type.
