No, Interbase is a very good, small footprint SQL database. Its format is 
proprietary, just like everyone else's I guess. It has cool features like 
a multi-generational architecture, so you can see valid snapshots of your 
data even while other processes are running.

Just guessing, but Keith might mean bare-bones copies of the tables in 
the app.
