This is a great summary about the use of database to hold information. 
But it requires experience configuring databases for end-users.  It
could work if the database was set up by someone else or if the fields
were easy to define by the end-user by some kind of interface.

On the other hand, there is a movement to use plain text for everything.
 I know you disagree.  But here is some information about accounting
this way: https://plaintextaccounting.org

I learned a lot of elisp by reading your long explanation about how to
construct a contact database directly on Emacs 29 without adding
anything else.  Thank you very much!
