Editing Paradox (database) (section)

==Reception==
Evaluating a prerelease beta of Paradox 3, ''[[BYTE (magazine)|BYTE]]'' in 1989 said that it "has the potential of overtaking dBASE IV" without being a dBASE clone. The magazine said that it "has all the capabilities necessary for even the most advanced applications" yet was, unlike competitors, easy to use.<ref name="byte198902">{{Cite magazine |last=Miastkowski |first=Stan |last2=Baran |first2=Nick |date=February 1989 |title=Paradox 3: Neither Enigma nor Riddle |url=https://archive.org/details/eu_BYTE-1989-02_OCR/page/n164/mode/1up?view=theater |access-date=2024-10-08 |magazine=BYTE |pages=109-111}}</ref>
