Where I can find SQL Link 4.0 for Paradox 4.0 or 4.5?
 
Andy_111,

If you mean Paradox 4.0 or 4.5 for DOS, you can't. The SQL Link products only work with Windows versions of Borland's products, e.g. Delphi, dBASE for Windows, Paradox for Windows, and so on. (Yes, I know the latter items are no longer produced by Borland, but they were in the time frame being discussed).

If you are looking for something to integrate with the DOS versions, your only hope is the product known as the Paradox Engine, which was a set of DLL's for Pascal or C++ that Borland provided for a time. It is not longer produced and your only bet is to find a used copy. Note that you'll probably need to obtain an appropriate copy of Turbo/Borland Pascal or Borland C++ (not Borland C++ Builder).

If you mean Paradox 4.5 for Windows (there was no 4.0 for the Windows version), the SQL Links are generally provided with Professional editions of Borland's language products. They used to sell a separate SKU for the Borland Database Engine, but I don't know whether that's available or not. I doubt it is, but you may find more details at
You may be able to find a used copy of the SQL Links or the Paradox Engine at but that's a hit or miss proposition.

I believe Corel provides the SQL Links with their Paradox 9 Developer's Edition.

Hope this helps...
