[comp.databases] Paradox 3.0

battle@umbc3.UMBC.EDU (Rick) (03/17/90)

Does anyone have experience with Paradox 3.0 standalone
or LAN version under Novell.
Good points, bad points, what to watch for, etc.

Thanks

I am also looking for information on Paradox as I just learned this week that
I will be working with it during my workterm.  I am a dBASE IV user so any
information on Paradox would be greatly appreciated.

I have been supporting and teaching Paradox on campus for several years 
and have not had any major problems.  We have many users running under Novell
networks with no problems.  I have found that it has really lived up to it's
name, Paradox, a easy to use yet powerful database.  Of course, choosing the 
right database depends on many variables.  Are you thinking of purchasing, and
if so you might repost your question explaining your situation.

I just spent my summer programming in Paradox and while I found it very
powerful, I also found it hard to learn.  I was unable to find any books
on programming applications in Paradox.  A friend of mine is having
difficulty learning to program in Paradox.  Does anyone know of any
good books on programming using Paradox 3.0?  If you have any suggestions
please email them to me as I don't always get to read the newsgroup.  You
help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
