<p class="para">
The paradox extension provides also an object oriented API. It consists of
only one class called paradox_db. Its methods only differ from the
functions in its name and of course the missing first parameter. The
following table will list all methods and its equivalent functions.
<table id="paradox.table-class-methods" class="doctable table">
