> Does database store the data in text files? No? That's my point.

This guy is a first class idiot who knows enough to reformulate a decided issue into yet another troll article. "a database (which then goes and stores the data in a binary format)". How about a text file IS a database. It's encoded 1s and 0s in a universal format instead of the binary DB format which can be corrupted with the slightest modification or hardware failure.
