      Besides being a DB with forms, reports, etc as already mentioned by others - its significance was huge as it was the peak of an era where small/single developers could deliver business solutions by knowing a single tool, and people with domain knowledge could write their own solutions.

      Since then everything became much more complex - networking, security, GUIs, web development, deployment, etc.
