I'm not sure about using Paradox to connect to Oracle, but out of the group of choices to me Gupta is the clear leader for Oracle. IMHO

Powerbuilder is now owned by Sybase
Paradox as I understand it is firts a local PC database that is not SQL Gupta is easy to set-up and use for the first time, and is and even has a "solo" product that is a local SQL database. Received on Mon Jan 02 1995 - 19:44:55 CET
