Version 5.0 adds Open Database Connectivity to enable the retrieval of remote information from 50 databases including DB2, AS/400, Ingres and Btrieve. Information can be shared locally and remotely, through local area networks and mail transports like MCI Mail, NetWare MHS and NGM, Windows for Workgroups, and cc:Mail and Notes. Version 5.0 has seven new field types and Workgroup Desktop that shares information between workgroup members without the need for a separate product. Coaches offer training for the new user to learn the basics of a database and how to create common objects such as tables, forms, reports and queries. Experts guide the user through the creation of mailing labels, reports and forms, without the user needing any database knowledge. Paradox also boasts an intuitive user interface, Coaches & Experts, which guides the unwary traveller around the horrors of databases. The big selling point of the new version is Paradox’s Object Linking & Embedding 2.0 compatibility, that enables users to embed Paradox tables and data into other products such as WordPerfect and Microsoft Word, with complete, in-place editing features, and vice versa. Scott’s Valley, California-based Borland International Inc has launched version 5.0 of its relational database, Paradox for Windows.
