This Paradox only feature imports ClientDataSet MyBase data files of either the binary *.cds format or of the *.xml format.
The simple ClientDataSet MyBase files may be convenient for simple single user databases and for porting data between applications capable of reading the MyBase data files*.
MyBase files whatever as *.cds files or as *.xml files are imported via the Database menu.
However, though the MyBase XML files seems pretty easy to understand when viewed in a text editor, do not expect these files to be readily interpreted by applications not designed for this ClientDataSet/MyBase format.
Do not confuse the MyBase xml files with other xml files using the same file extension.
A simple table like this containing only non-binary data
imports swiftly and may be also be imported by applications from other vendors after some syntax modifications.

*: Applications compiled with Delphi or C++ Builder from Embarcadero and created with proper ClientDataSet/MyBase reading capability.
Further, do notice, that MyBase should not be confused with some other database formats also using the MyBase nomer.
