BDE Single- Tier and dbGo

Borland has always enjoyed an outstanding reputation for its compilers and has been a leader in providing single-tier database engines for the PC. The BDE integrates many of the database engines Borland owns, so it provides native access to these various formats. They are ASCII delimited (text flat-file), xBase (dBase, Clipper, and FoxPro), as well as Paradox. You can also use a client-only installation of Interbase with the BDE in a single-tier configuration.

dbGo also provides access to these types of databases; usually, through ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) drivers. And, of course, dbGo only works with Windows.

These components and drivers are great for small programs where performance and price are more important than database-engine power or data security and integrity.
