- SQL provides an advantage mainly for a client-server configuration, to
- provide a common interface between a back-end DBMS engine and a front-end
- tool. If you're running standalone on a DOS machine, Paradox is one of the
- better choices. I would recommend upgrading to version 4.0 which should be
- out this summer. It's a major upgrade, I understanding with an up to
- 10-fold speed improvement and much-improved programming tools.
