I don't agree that Hypercard didn't work. It worked amazingly! Just not as a mainstream development environment, but it was never marketed or presented as such. A lot of people wrote Xcmd's for it. One guy wrote an Xcmd that allowed you to access a dBase database file and read and write to it. It wasn't very good though, very buggy, but the concept was sound.
If I recall, HyperCard was called an "erector set" for Mac users, not necessarily programmers, and indeed used mostly by non-professional programmers. There was also an Xcmd for Valentina -- yes, I started using Valentina database with HyperCard -- and it worked really well but Valentina was not network based then.
