Description: Borland Database Engine (BDE) is a Windows-based database engine and connectivity software. Borland Database Engine defines a library of Application Programming Interface (API) calls that can create, restructure, fetch data from, update, and otherwise manipulate local and remote database servers. Borland Database Engine provides a uniform interface to access a wide variety of database servers using drivers to access different databases. The included set of database drivers enables consistent access to standard data sources including Paradox, dBASE, and FoxPro. Additionally, the user may add Microsoft Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) drivers as needed to the built-in ODBC socket.

Borland`s Structured Query Language (SQL) Links provide access to multiple database management systems such as Oracle Database, DB2, and Microsoft SQL Server.
