Design view in other applications (Paradox tables)

Below is the experimental Paradox table ParadoxAllTypes.db created via SQL and reopened in DataBase Desktop (DBD) and in dBASE 2019.
The BCD fields created with DECIMAL(1,1), DECIMAL(7) and DECIMAL(7,2) respectively.
In DBD the BCD field type is signified by the hash (#) mark and for BCD fields the "Size" actually specifying the number of decimals rather than the field size.
Just like for dBASE tables the size indicated may differ for non-sizeable numeric fields (Number, Short, Integer) but as for DBF-tables of no practical importance as it will default to the size necessary irrespective of the size setting by the user.
