PX0168 Local SQL - Update statement
Under certain circumstances, using SQL to update a column which has a secondary index, all records are not updated.

PX0173 Local SQL - Group by clause
Under certain circumstances, there appears to be a problem with the 'Group by' statement in the BDE.

PX0006 TableStructure dialog - minimum validity check
A table with an AutoIncrement field as primary key. The field has a Minimum valcheck defined. You add a case-sensitive secondary index. The minimun valcheck is lost. When you try to add it, you get an error message: [Invalid array of validity check descriptors] , when the Save button is pressed.
Type of error: FunctionalityFirst verified:5.0Verified by me: True

PX0014 Tables - TableLookup - A1 column
A lookup table defined for a A1 field. If the field contains both upper and lower case letters, only lower case are accepted in the master table.

Table language: PDOX ANSI Swedfin.
Type of error: FunctionalityFirst verified:7.0 W95Verified by me: True

To index

PX0208 Form run - tables linked as 1-M - detail table is shown out of order
If a table contains an alpha primary key, and the values contains both upper-case and lower-case letters, the table may get out of order when linked as a detail table in a 1-M link in a form. The problem is related to a couple of international language drivers, e g PDOX ANSI Intl850.
Type of error: FunctionalityFirst verified:7.0 W95Verified by me: True

PX0228 TableStructure dialog - removing validity checks
You cannot remove more than one valcheck at a time. If you do, you'll get a GPV and eventually you have to use Alt+Ctrl+Del to get out of Paradox.

PX0181 Local SQL - select from dBASE table - cast as Integer
Running SQL on a dBase table, you cannot cast(value as Integer) even though the answer table is a Paradox table.
Type of error: FunctionalityFirst verified:7.0 W95Verified by me: True

PX0195 Non standard database drivers - MSACCESS driver - security database
Currently, the native BDE Access driver only uses the security database that is specified in the registry
Type of error: FunctionalityFirst verified:Bde 4.0Verified by me: True

PX0196 Bde 4.x fixes
a) Performing a Select with two Where criteria between multiple Paradox and dBASE tables produces a corrupt Paradox answer set (there are '*' in the Numeric field but apparently no displayable data). However, if another Where criteria is added the query will work correctly.

b) If a select query is run on a table with a secondary index on a single field and the where clause specifies that same field in a like clause, the resultant query returns data case-insensitive. If the secondary index is removed, the data comes back case-sensitive.

c) Performing a Select which includes a subquery on the ON clause with an OUTER JOIN should produce all records specified by the outer join table, but only those records which match the subquery are returned.

d) Executing an Update statement on a Paradox table where '1' is being subtracted in a datetime field does not subtract '1', but rather adds '1'.

e) Executing an ALTER TABLE statement on a Paradox table with a password, adds or deletes the field but also removes all auxilary and master passwords from the table.

f) Select statement missing table's file extension fails with "Invalid Field Name" error.

g) Attempting to open more than 512 dBASE tables results in error: "BDE error $000E".

h) Currently, you cannot place a string into a Paradox memo BLOb. If a paradox table has the following structure
Field1 Longint
Field2 Memo

and you do a SQL Insert statment like:
INSERT INTO TABLE.DB VALUES(100, "HELLO")

"HELLO" will not be in the memo field. No error is returned from the BDE.

PX0223 Local SQL - like and indexes
The wildcards used in a SQL statement are % and _. They correspond to the Paradox .. and @.

The behaviour of Like '%' depends on whether the column is indexed or not, eg CustomerName like 'A%E' retrieves names starting with A and ending with E when CustomerName has no index, but all names starting with A when the column is indexed.

Paradox 7 cannot handle any text beside MS Serif and Sans Serif. Our system has been built exclusively with the use of very standard Times New Roman.

It is an unacceptable problem for our clients who run under stressful conditions and keep the program up for days at a time without shutting it down. Only leaving Paradox altogether resets the line height to normal, and the problem progresses very quickly.

PX0713 Form design / run - Access violation in module NTDLL.DLL
Now and then I get a GPV when opening or saving a form. It's never the first form opened after Paradox is launched, but it can be any other form. After the GPV has occurred, and the error dialog has been closed by Ok button, an attempt to open a form in design mode from ProjectViewer will cause an "Access violation at address 77FCB2B9 in module NTDLL.DLL. Write of address 0002." Neither of the addresses is the same every time.
This problem was after being fixed in P11 Build 300, introduced in P10 Build 990.
