I would like to know is it possible to create database in LiveCode itself without using MySQL ?

There are 10,000 ways to make a database. What are the requirements of your system?

Richard is right, we would need a much clearer question. Are you looking for an already made db that just doesn't use MySQL statements? Or are you looking to create a flat file db? Or are you trying to make a db that is contained within objects of the program itself?

What Richard and Bigs are saying is “Yes”.
We just need to know what you want. After all, a spreadsheet can be considered a database, in that it stores and organizes data. LiveCode can do much, much better, wholly within its own native capabilities.
So?

I once (for a school project) made a database with Adobe Flash and text files. It actually worked!

Bogs.
Spell checker is not as useful an aid as finger checker. I do not need the first at all. Apparently I could use the second.

I think that is the best way I ever heard that come out ghettocottage, but I think I'd rely on paper and pen made dbs before going to Adobe Flash for one. The only downside there is throughput, programming it is a snap
