The use of an external DB engine is a good thing. So long as the 
software writer pays attention, the application is pretty-well 
automatically multiuser.

It also meas that someone who can tell the difference between a fast 
file manager (mySQL) and a relational DBMS such as Postgresql, DB2 etc 
can choose to use something that understands transactions, relational 
integrity, foreign keys and maybe even money.
