What would you be benchmarking?

I would benchmark a set of tasks performed on an identical data set. For example, importing the data, doing a bunch of inserts, deletes, random selects, etc.
Not sure why you are referencing me here... :?

SQLite is a full SQL compliant relational DBMS implemented as a single
library.  dBASE and FoxPro were, IIRC "hierarchical" DBMS products.
Depending on what you are benchmarking this sounds like an apples and
oranges comparison.

Yes comparing SQlite to dBASE or FoxPro is comparing apples and oranges, more like apples and potatoes actually...

I thought FoxPro and Paradox were relational databases that could run in protected mode.  I recall doing joins in Paradox using QBE.

Paradox is another, different "beast". As far as dBASE and FoxPro originally mentioned goes, they are programmable application, able to run complete applications in their own programming/scripting language (and compileable into standalone applications with tools like Clipper). SQLite is first and foremost a library providing a large subset of SQL commands to be included in a 3rd party application. It does not include itself any programming capabilities. And the command line program is pretty much a maintenance interface, nothing to use as/in an application...
