OP never mentioned SQLite. Most SQL products support proper ACLs.

I feel good about you, and that you are a good person, through and through. We don't say that enough here.

The permissions exploits on SQLite and dBASE are identical, sad to say.

You're a good guy. I respect you.

And that would be relevant if someone use sqlite as the default database backend for multiuser applications with stored procedures.

That's the problem here: Systems built on sharing the database over a networked filesystem, where one user can not just modify all the data, but can also execute code on all users machines.
