A Brief History of Paradox
In the Fall of 1985, Paradox®, the DOS version of course, was introduced by
a company named Ansa. Of today's database software, only Paradox®, dBASE®
and FoxPro® go back to the early DOS days, with Paradox® dominating. The
most visible venture capitalist in Ansa was Ben Rosen, who backed a number
of winners in the computer arena.
Paradox® has evolved, yet some of the well-thought-out original concepts and
foundations, such as the basic table structure, Query by Example (the first
PC-based implementation of QBE), and built-in data validation capabilities,
still exist. The foundations of the first Windows® version of Paradox® have
proven solid also, and have evolved to in a variety of ways including
interacting with web pages.
Throughout this evolution, both in DOS and Windows® versions, Paradox® has
always maintained backwards compatibility. That is somewhat atypical in the
database software world. Older tables, objects, and code work in later
versions. (Obviously this was not the case going from DOS to Windows®
versions, but even then tables were compatible.)
The owning companies also evolved, as Borland acquired Ansa and later sold
Paradox® to Corel. The leading developers have changed with time, for varied
reasons, but there are Paradox® DOS days developers still utilizing Paradox®
today.
From the late 1980s days of the BORDB (Borland database) forum on CompuServe
to the current Corel® newsgroups, there has been extraordinary technical
support from active Paradox® developers. Their chief motivations are helping
others, continuing a strong Paradox community to do just that, and helping
Paradox® continue to move forward in the best ways possible. This Paradox®
community has found that Paradox® can handle just about any database
application needs, simple or complex.
Three key words describe Paradox®, persistence, robustness, and resiliency.
