Let me chime in that there are two different aspects of using
valentina, each with its own level of complexity and learning curve.
1. Using valentina as a database engine in metacard -- quite easy and
not much to learn
2. designing and maintaining databases, particularly when taking full
advantage of relational features -- that can be easy or a can of
warms depending on your background and experience. But many issues
here have little to do with Valentina per se.
