I store data in text files, dbf files, Access, MySQL, SQL Server, and
Oracle. I don't get to choose that very often.

My personal preferences would probably be SQL Server, MySQL, and dbf
files, in that order.

The only one of those that's an odd choice is the dbf files, but I had a
long history working with FoxPro, FoxBase, and dBase prior to coming to
Delphi, so I find them fast and familiar.
