Oracle : An Oracle database consists of a collection of data managed by an Oracle database management system. Popular generic usage also uses the term to refer to the Oracle DBMS management software, but not necessarily to a specific database under its control. One can refer to the Oracle database management system unambiguously as Oracle DBMS or (since it manages databases which have relational characteristics) as Oracle RDBMS. Oracle Corporation blurs the distinctions between:
data managed by an Oracle RDBMS
an Oracle database, and
the Oracle RDBMS software itself
when it refers nowadays to the Oracle RDBMS (the software it sells for the purpose of managing databases) as the Oracle Database. The distinction between the managed data (the database) and the software which manages the data (the DBMS / RDBMS) relies, in Oracle's marketing literature, on the capitalisation of the word database.

Paradox : Paradox is a relational database management system currently published by Corel and was originally designed for DOS and Windows version was released in 1992 by Borland. Paradox for DOS was a successful DOS-based database, mainly a visual Query By Example implementation that was supported by an AI engine. It effectively used the memory for caching data tables and mainly the indexes, which caused Paradox to execute tasks very quickly. Paradox for Windows was entirely a different product where many features and functions were changed. The mouse-right click was used to access some of the Forms and Reports properties in a way now almost a new and universal Windows program.
