Reading Paradox Tables

1 New Member
Hi All

I am having a real problem extracting data from paradox 5.x tables.

I can read the tables if I use the data scroll bar but get nothing if I use the "open file for input".

Also I have tries loading the Data Form Wizard but am unable to connect there either.

I have set up User System & File DSNs and have tried each

What am I doing wrong or what am I not doing

Thanx for your help in advance

I want to automate the import of 5 encrypted .db (Paradox) tables into a MS Access 2002 database every time the Access database is opened. I think I could use the TransferDatabase method to import the .db tables, but, since these tables are encrypted, I need to provide a password at the start of the import. Unfortunately, the .db tables are created as part of an application: I cannot unencrypt the tables nor set the password to...

I'll try this again, see if anyone has a response.... Anyone done a DELETE or UPDATE on Paradox tables in C#? I can read the stuff, but I can't delete records. I tried using ExecuteNonQuery and it choked. Then I tried using an Odbc data adapter. It didn't give an error, but it also didn't change anything. thanks,

After working with Microsoft for almost 2 weeks, the conclusion is that the Jet engine cannot work with some Paradox tables. By some, I mean Paradox tables that contain no indexes. Some of the old Paradox tables, especially those that were created in the old Delphi 1 era, contained no indexes. .NET doen't like that, so it basically ignores any INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE sql command.

I'm trying to read some Paradox tables using C#. I can see the tables in Server Explorer but I can't seem to get the Connection and Data Adapter set up. I'm sure I'm missing something simple. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks, Steve

I've never really setup or used MS SQL Server (just a couple hours, one day, several months ago). I think MS SQL Server has the ability to use "linked tables", like MS Access does. Is this correct? What I want to do is have an MS SQL Server setup, which compatible applications can talk with, but I want the data to come from a Paradox database. I can use any MS SQL version, whatever would work best. I'm not sure about the Paradox...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
