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.
