The links below are useful but the best description of the file format is to be found on Erik Bachmann's page in the links section xbasw. One of the factors in its continuing popularity, apart from the obvious existence of legacy code, is that the open source SQL compatible database systems that should by rights have replaced xBase in small custom programming jobs have all shown problems with the manipulation of international text even though they are meant to be compatible, but for instance the most popular of such product MySQL udbc, even after two decades of development still corrupts Unicode encoded database records from time to time on top of Unicode text manipulation issues, although modern versions of it supply tools to fix that after a fashion.
On the technical side a text in a corrupted table will not look up correctly from an uncorrupted table, and in the real xbasr if the data is a part of a postal address it might not deliver correctly.
xbasse Retrieved from " http: During the 's and into the mid's xBase was the primary business language used on microcomputers archiving a dominance similar to what Cobol had on larger systems, with the majority of financial and business admin software for PC's being written in an xBase variant, and the wast bulk of custom business solutions.

Some counties within the state of Arizona in the USA allow accountants to bulk file tax returns for individuals and companies using. This alongside the high price, recurring license fees and in general the maintenance costs of commercial SQL solutions alongside the gradual move of alternate PC database solutions such as Filemaker et al, to a deployment license model has given xBase development a second life in the market, small business systems such as customised accounting software have increasingly chosen to stick with or revert to xBase or to move to embedded database system that are designed to not require routine maintenance such as Microsoft Embedded SQL Server that ships built into modern versions of MS Windows.

But although usable as a generic programming language, as soon as you venture out from the realm of database manipulation you really start to lose the advantages it has to offer.

On one hand having corrupted text in your database can be bad for your image and on the other it can lead to technical problems. Your customers will find invoices where their name has been mangled either by not using the local character set or jfbc a database corruption, to be somewhat unprofessional.

Even if the fixes for these problems are relatively simple they need a level of technical sophistication that even though low, might not exist in a small business. This was in no small part because the dBase II package jdbf other early xBase compatible products all supported different codepages in both the data structures and code, with the notable exception of FoxPro. A fourth generation programming language that started life as the scripting language on the dBase II database software package, and its associated dbf database file format.

In most cases this was offered as a way to get you to import your work into a their database system or to offer the capability of co-operation between a new system and an older one, but a few products like Alpha Four were sold as a easier way to work with xBase databases. However even by the late 80's critical financial applications like accounting packages were moving to Btree database engines due to xBase's almost complete lack of database and transaction integrity tools and functions.
The language is not very well structured but extremely compact and well suited to its intended use in relational databases making it one of the most rapid development languages out there, even modern RAD systems suffer in comparison in that specific domain.
On top of that it is in general frowned upon to deliver custom small business solutions that will require maintenance no matter how small it is, since the IT budget for businesses with limited turnover like mom'n'pops restaurants for instance are for all intents and purposes non-existent and these sort of operations in general rely on "uncle technology" for IT support.

While this is tolerable for web applications and web delivery systems built on those products jdvc Content Management Systems solve this by having tools in the sysops user interface that fix such corruption or bypass the problem altogether by simply not storing Unicode text, it is an intolerable problem for small business program development.
