#### Paradox

Files created with Paradox (.DB) are made available to other applications through the Borland Database Engine (BDE). The BDE does the actual work with the Paradox data, retrieving the requested tables and fields. Since the BDE works so closely with the actual data, it combines with the Paradox database file to create the database layer in the three layer data access model. Seagate Crystal Reports accesses the BDE through the P2bbde.dll translation file.
