Hi, I´m new in the Lazarus world and I have some doubts.

- Can I use Paradox in Lazarus? How Can I make Paradox Tables? What
kind of program I need to use, it´s free like lazarus?

Someone have any suggestion?
I´m using Windows Xp

Thanks

Welcome =)

You can read paradox tables, but no create them...

To read tables, see the component TParadoxDataSet (I not tested it)
in:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/TParadoxDataSet

In Lazarus, there are various options in "databases managment":
* TDbf: Create Dbase and FoxPro tables
(http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Tdbf_Tutorial);
* Sqlite*DataSet: Create Sqlite tables (a library is necessary, but
not a server);
* Zeos Access: work +/- as in Delphi... Need a server installed (not
in sqlite case);
* SQLdb: To Mysql and ODBC access;

There are others components too, as FBLib, JvUIB...

Please, see http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_DB_Faq to more
details.
