The Borland Database Engine is a data access engine that is used by Delphi, Borland C++ Builder, dBase, and Paradox for Windows. This data access engine consists of the core technology that allows any ODBC driver to be used as an IDAPI driver for any application using the Borland Database Engine. Additionally, the Borland Database Engine can be augmented with optional native SQL drivers that provide transparent and efficient connectivity to widely used SQL servers.
- Borland released a merge module that installs and configures the Borland Database Engine. InstallShield wrapped this merge module to make it easier to use from the IDE. This wrap allows you to install an alias and specify drivers and a destination in the alias. You can use predefined variables like [INSTALLDIR] to specify a path in the alias.
- InstallShield merge module Dependencies: None (ODBC is not required)

Although BDE merge modules exist for different languages, only one can be installed and used at a time.
