You can edit your GLOM PostgreSQL data outside GLOM,  a limitation.
No thrid party can access GLOM database - not good / poor for data
interpolability.

Again, MS Access mdb is a good container for data since it can be
access and edited outside MS Access.

Apple uses sqlite for iphones. It has good data interpolabity befween
applications. Addressbook db can be access by other applications as
well.
