A database?  As far as I can see, nowhere does the SD study design say 
one has to create a database - especially a relational one!

All it refers to it using data structures (as simple as a string 
variable), and "use files to store and retrieve data" which is way less 
than a 'database'.

Mind you, I expected my kids to use TYPE constructs and random files in 
SD U4O1.
