I think it depends on whether you need a file format or a database. All the benefits of a database are wiped out if you are implementing File->Save for a document based application.

File->Save is an extremely outdated workflow leftover from when disk drives took multiple seconds and you couldn't edit the document while you were writing to the disk.
Now your application should continuously save without any manual steps.
