Yes, I'm using it in my main commercial project. And, Dabo uses it to 
store preferences. It is great for what it is: simple and lightweight.

Yep.

There's only one file (or, no files at all if you just keep it alive in 
memory). The file will grow in size as needed, but never shrink unless 
you explicitly tell it to 'vacuum'.

It is great for *single user* applications running locally on the same 
machine as the app. I wouldn't consider it for multi-user, ever.

I don't know about the VFP connector, sorry. I'm using it from Python 
for which there is a db-api module.
