First, I didn't now about the Valentina server. :-)

Second, I'd be disinclined to pay for a SQL database server 
implementation when there's mySQL out there for free with vast user 
support.

Third, I'm sort of pre-disposed to avoid proprietary technologies where 
there are really good open source alternatives, as a general rule.

The only reason I'm looking at Valentina for part of the deployment of 
this project is that I need a non-server solution. If SQLite is really 
in the works, that might be just as good or better.
