BDE with Borland Database Desktop 1.0

BDE with Borland Database Desktop is a legacy database toolkit widely used with classic Delphi and C++Builder applications. The Borland Database Engine (BDE) provides a unified data-access layer for local desktop formats and client/server databases, while Database Desktop is a companion utility for designing, inspecting, and maintaining data structures.

Key capabilities:

• Works with Paradox and dBASE tables; connects to SQL databases via native drivers/SQL Links and ODBC (e.g., Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, InterBase).
• Create and modify tables, indexes, and referential integrity constraints.
• Run queries using SQL or QBE (Query by Example).
• Import/export data and manage aliases for consistent connection settings.
• Useful for maintaining legacy systems, performing quick data inspections, and migrating older datasets.

Notes:

• This is 32-bit, legacy technology that is no longer actively developed and may require configuration (via BDE Administrator) for reliable operation on modern Windows.
• Networked Paradox/dBASE use requires correct lock-file and shared directory settings.
