That's because the functions that operate that type of database are running sub-functions under the hood.
For editing records in QB64, RANDOM access files make it possible to overwrite a record, or make it a null record, without re-writing the file. Most of my office data was accessed with this file format; however, if I wanted to add new records inside of existing records, then I would write a sequential file; otherwise, you would need a function to GET and PUT each out of place record to a new record place. That reshuffling technique is a bit tricky, as I recall.
