I think this was discussed many times here, why we prefer the current backend:
Simply because we are paranoid; we afraid of the following "message":
"~Database is corrupted, restore it from backup", and we got a cryptic bunch of
bytes as database.
Saying not competent just because he doesn't agree with you is not a good
argument. Well, probably we are not dbms experts, so instead of flaming you
should convince us, why using your method is safe.
 
I add one argument here: maybe using a professional dbms would reduce memory
usage; but I am incompenent here, indeed ;-)

Bye
