The BDE API enables the client to use SQL or Query by Example (QBE) to access dBASE, FoxPro, Access, and Paradox tables (standard databases) as well as server-based SQL tables.

A group of BDE query interface functions is provided for passing either SQL Queries. or QBE queries to both server-based and PC-based sources.
