Description

This class is called PdxField—not "DbField"—to avoid confusion and simple typographical errors between it and the DbfField class.

The PdxField class is a subclass of the Field class. It represents a field from a DB (Paradox) table, and contains properties that are specific to fields of that table type. Otherwise it is considered to be a Field object.
