	My only exposure to databases has been the Cornerstone Demo. However,
I have recently come up with a use for one and want to know if one of its
features is widespread.  
	The application involves in part Drug side effects.  Some drugs have
only a few side effects, some have up to 20-30.  The Cornerstone demo gives
the impression that Cornerstone will adjust to just the number of records
entered without having to predefine a maximum number.  There are at least
three other parameters that are highly variable in number, so this is an
important feature.
	Since dBase is a more widely occuring program, I was wondering, does
dBase also do this?
	Does Reflex (formerly from Analytica, now from Borland) have this
capability?  If it did, this might be the program of choice just on Price
considerations.

	I'm confused, you see...
