Not all databases are BDE-based. In fact, BDE is probably not a database
itself (although I don't know much about it) but a database interface
layer. There are many others, both general and tightly bound to specific
databases.

And it's probably not the BDE _administrator_ that they need, but the BDE
run-time library. Does that make it sound less bad?
