[_Understated_]

I'm curious... what did the author mean by this:

> Legacy database types represent milestones on the path to modern databases. These may still find a foothold in certain specialized environments, but have mostly been replaced by more robust alternatives for production environments.

I didn't notice anything that went into any detail about legacy database types.

Any idea what the author means by a "Legacy Database"?

The article gives some examples of these, it seems they're mostly referring to things we wouldn't consider "databases" like flat files.

He actually tells you in the article, straight after (flat file, hierarchical...)

Aww man. I am a dumbass... I never equated that section of things like Network databases and such as legacy.

Dunno how I missed it :(
