PARADOX Relational Database Advisor Elements of Database Design

A practical guide, allowing even Paradox beginners to be their own database consultants. Novice business users faced with setting up their first Paradox database can follow a set of guidelines for each phase in the database design process. More experienced users will learn how to create versatile systems that fit a variety of business needs and hardware environments. To help readers take full advantage of Paradox, emphasis is placed on moving beyond traditional flat-file or hierarchical systems to creating sophisticated libraries with common informational links. Real-world examples are used to illustrate principles and techniques for building true relational data-bases, giving readers the know-how to plan, implement and maintain large but efficient Paradox systems. The work also contains case studies in database design, application development and form/report generation.
