Yes, I know.
But as I am not a programmer, for one thing I won't be able to do that.
And for the other thing, I would find the import and export to text file
format even more interesting.
Wouldn't that be the only universal cross-plattform format?

I've been using databases in a rather simple form for some years now on Mac
and those programs that could not export and import text file format (for
example tab separated) never really lasted long in my daily use, because I
couldn't get data out or in in a fast and efficient way.
Moving data between text editor, spreadsheet and database is a basic
procedure, for example.

This is why I consider import and export to text file format a basic feature
in any database software.
