Whatever a "real database" may be.
Sure, if you want persistance and updates without using an editor, the
dictionary may be the wrong thing to use.
But if you are fine with the restrictions implied by the dicitionary,
it's perfectly fine to use that. These restrictions are:
- Doing updates by editor (alternatively, having a file or screen per
record, and using the file (or screen) system for persistence, but
that's getting away from simplicity).
- Search only with a single key.
- Data fits in memory.
- Need to reload when an entry is changed or added (if updates are
made by editor).
Forth-2012 even has TRAVERSE-WORDLIST, which allows enumerating all
records in a database that is organized as a wordlist.
