Hello Ian,
I am still searching.
My first thought would be, to have each user produce a clear cut backup 
of his total database. This would result in a lot of .db (and some .mb) 
files, which then are exported (via .CSV) to be filled into the 
respective MariaDB tables.
Probably I can use pxlib (in Linux) for the extraction of the Paradox 
data-files.
An other way, I am thinking of, could be, to use ODBC to copy an entire 
database from Paradox to MySQL/MariaDB.
I am still searching for best practices of others, which have done such 
migration before.
With  kind regards
Hugo
