- Borland recently released Database Framework which is supposed to
- encapsulate Paradox Engine's functions. I believe the Database Framework
- will offer more than just PE encapsulations that will make PE programmer's
- life a bit easier.
-
- I ordered the Paradox Engine 3.0/Database Framework last week. But
- from hearing some complains from the PE programmers on the net, I have doubt
- about using the product. Hopefully, Database Framework will change all that.
- It's strange that Paradox Engine has not become as popular as other Borland
- products after more than two years of release.
-
- I have been looking around last six months for a database engine
- platform that I can write with either C or C++. I found Paradox Engine
- and another product called CodeBase. I didn't hear too much about CodeBase.
- Paradox Engine was in the vicinity of unknown as well. Can some recommend
- other database engine? I am not looking for Clipper and Foxpro, because I
- think they lack the speed and flexibility of programming in C unless someone
- can prove me wrong :)
-
- BTW, I hope to hear from other Paradox Engine programmers on this
- newsgroup. I could not find any relevant source, discussion or book relating
- to the Paradox Engine. It seems like all Paradox Engine programmers are
- stranded on an island with their superb Paradox Engine documentation.
