Re: not Cool
Oh hell yes, the paradox database system was a total and utter curse in every way. I remember encountering early projects and it was one of the first things to be taken out of an application and terminated with extreme prejudice. I don't remember there being a single advantage to using it but countless disadvantages. Almost nothing needed it, there really didn't need to be another inefficient and unwieldy competitor to ODBC and even from v1 of the VCL it was possible to put in direct, useful and efficient connectors to databases - although considerably easier to do so with later versions.
Paradox? [shudders] brrrrr
