{{Short description|Programming language and database format}} {{About||the space station module|B330#XBASE|the file format|.dbf#xBase}} {{Distinguish|BaseX}} {{one source|date=February 2021}} {{lowercase title|title=xBase}} '''xBase''' is the generic term for all [[programming language]]s that derive from the original [[dBASE]] ([[Ashton-Tate]]) programming language and database formats. These are sometimes informally known as dBASE "clones". While there was a non-commercial predecessor to the Ashton-Tate product (Vulcan written by [[Wayne Ratliff]]), most clones are based on Ashton-Tate's 1986 dBASE III+ release β scripts written in the dBASE III+ dialect are most likely to run on all the clones.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Bachmann|first1=Erik|title=Xbase Data file (*.dbf) |url=https://www.clicketyclick.dk/databases/xbase/format/dbf.html |website=www.clicketyclick.dk}}</ref>
