Ah, here's a difference between the Pee-Cee world and the *nix world
where there's something to be said for the "other place."
It's really handy to be able to take a quick look at a database to see
what the structure is like, how many tables, how many records, etc.,
etc.
You can certainly do that with SQL (I do it regularly), but I do find
myself remembering fondly how much easier it was to do in Paradox for
DOS.
Note that I'm not talking about an application-specific front end,
that's an entirely different kettle of fish.
