Re: Paradox 9 database
Let's start by doing 2 minutes' research:
"Corel Paradox is now part of WordPerfect Office and it is better than ever!
"Corel Paradox was a database utility that specialized on relational database management system. It was originally developed as a MS-DOS program by Ansa Software. Later, Borland bought Ansa Software and published the program as “Borland Paradox” for Windows platform in 1992. Corel Paradox was first released in 1997. It was later bundled with WordPerfect Office Suite."

It has 'been around the houses' quite a bit.
That:

looks sexy, and that is where I would start.
Download the thing, and set up a very simple database . . .
This might be the place to ask questions:

"However, it has not been updated since 2009" Ouch.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_(database)
[Never Mind, I use Clarisworks for day-to-day WP.]
"Today Paradox is an obsolete database and shouldn’t be used. "
https://www.fullconvert.com/databases/paradox
. . . hmm.

{do a 'Find' in your browser for 'Paradox'}

Hi,
Many many years ago, I'm paradox user and developer.
It can export the data into dbase IV format. Through the paradox menu

Re: Paradox 9 database
Може би.It can export the data into dbase IV format.
BUT, what the OP wants is something else: to have LiveCode connect to a Paradox database,
and, presumably, read it, write to it, and then leave it in a state that someone with Paradox
on their system can intereact directly with.

Hi,
Just find something, may be it can help you.
I find there is odbc drive for paradox in window environment. May be it can use odbc to connect paradox database.

Re: Paradox 9 database
Oh, my.
I did a LiveCode-to-Paradox interface some many years ago now.
Can't be done directly, we had to use intermediate text files to transfer information and have code in Paradox to deal with the database end of things and code in LiveCode to massage the data. Ugly stuff.
Corel's (where software goes to die) "update" of Paradox involved simply bundling it with WordPerfect, making it unavailable for purchase on its own.
