Valentina and OS-X (Darwin) revisited...

My sympathies, Greg.

Exactly what db capabilities are you looking for?  I believe 
Valentina is single-user (someone please correct me if I'm wrong); so 
unless you already have a Revolution app using Valentina on another 
platform or require SQL compatibility, you might download & evaluate 
the SDB handlers in Serendipity Library 
<http://www.oenolog.com/ftp/serendipity_downloader.htm>.

SDB is a single-user write, multi-user read-only, hierarchical 
database written in Transcript (no extensions or cross-platform 
changes required).  It includes a SDB Utility standalone to create, 
edit, backup, & restore SDB databases, gzip compress/decompress any 
individual file, and convert text file line endings to the 
appropriate character(s) for any platform.  The dbs include password 
protection and the ability to import/export records from/to delimited 
text files.

If you would like to contact me privately with more details of your 
specific db requirements, I can give you a better idea of whether SDB 
might be appropriate.

BTW, Serendipity Library is available free of charge and SDB database 
applications may be distributed royalty-free.
