I posted this before and no answer, it's pretty urgent for me to know if

this is possible...I need to give an estimate to a potential client...I'm

not asking for code or how to do it, just to know if it's possible and to

point me in the right direction.



The subject says it all...I have (by now) a pretty decent amount of

experience with ASP 2.0 and  SQL 7.0 but I have a potential client whose

database is Paradox and I need to know if ASP can be used to access a

Paradox database and is there a good book on this?  Or can I use my ASP

knowledge and just pick up a Paradox book to learn the equivalent

expressions, schema, etc. corresponding to what I know in T-SQL?



Thanks,



Ben

Yes you can.   There will be an ODBC driver which you use with ASP in the

same way as the ODBC driver for Access or any other database.  Whether this

would work well enough for your purposes you will have to test.

Ben,



You can create an ODBC connection for a Paradox file.

Open the ODBC32 icon in Control Panel or Administrators

Panel , select SYSTEM DSN, then click ADD. You'll see

a list of available ODBC drivers. Paradox is among them.

I don't know if the is an OLE DB driver. But you can go

to www.microsoft.com and search for Paradox in the

ADO area.



Dallas

Does anyone know if Paradox uses TSQL or any other flavor/variation of SQL

langauge?



Thanks,



Ben

It uses standard SQL, but like all the rdbms, it has its own extensions.

If you DELPHI or PARADOX installed on your machine, why don't

you use the help?



Also goto http://community.borland.com/



Select DELHI, select SEARCH from leftside bar, search on PARADOX.

I found over 203 topics.



Good Luck,

Dallas Martin

Thanks for the advice, this helps a lot, unfortunately I don't have Paradox

on my machine though, situation is that I am considering taking on a job

where I need to put a database on the web as the backend for a B2B site

where the client uses Paradox and I need to be able to take their db and put

it onto a SQL 7.0 machine.
