dBase as a DB system seems to have just about died out now. The owning company is still in business, so technically, it's not dead.
That being said, the dbase formatted files (dbf) are still used. However, I think it's hard to justify using dBase for any new development, especially now that there are so many superior single file database solutions, such as SQLite.
These provide far superior options, especially when doing operations across multiple tables.
Only if you do not want to work in DOS you can feel that it is obsolete.
We can even today write single and multiple table applications in our good old dBase which can handle DMBS work for small and medium sized enterprises successfully.
The reports that are generated are pure text files which can be deployed on WEB.
Both FRONTEND and BACKEND along with DML and DDL at one place it is still a great environment to work with.

dBase 作为一个数据库系统现在似乎已经消亡了。其所属的公司仍在营业，因此从技术上讲，它并没有消亡。
话虽如此，仍然使用 dbase 格式的文件 (dbf)。然而，我认为很难证明使用 dBase 进行任何新的开发是合理的，特别是现在有这么多优秀的单文件数据库解决方案，例如 SQLite。
这些提供了更优越的选项，特别是在跨多个表进行操作时。

dBase 并没有过时！
只有当你不想在 DOS 下工作时，你才会觉得它已经过时了。
今天我们甚至可以在我们古老的 dBase 中编写单表和多表应用程序
可以成功处理中小企业的DMBS工作。
生成的报告是纯文本文件，可以部署在WEB上。
前端和后端以及 DML 和 DDL 都在一个地方，这仍然是一个很棒的选择
工作环境。
dBase is NOT OBSOLETE !!

Dbase 格式存在于用于存储地理空间数据的 ESRI Shapefile 中。所以 DBF 作为一种文件格式仍然没有消亡......
The Dbase format lives on in ESRI Shapefiles used for storing geospatial data. So DBF as a file format is still not dead...
是的，dBase 已经过时了。
Yes, dBase is obsolete.
