Valentina for Revolution 3.5 Released

[Lynn Fredricks]

Hello all,

You can scroll down for the full release. To pick out bits just for
Revolution users...

- There are some new sample projects available that will be helpful in
getting started with Valentina, especially if you are still new at this SQL
thing :-)

- The VKEYWORDS and custom database properties are extremely interesting
because it makes a database _server_ more like an object you would program
using object-oriented programming, where you can attach custom properties to
it (not an unknown concept in Revolution :-)).

-Valentina Studio is getting much more solid, easier to use, and it has
database diagrams which makes planning your database less painful.

-Specific to Revolution - the ability to pull and display pictures from a
Valentina DB into Rev has been improved/fixed.

Best regards,

Lynn Fredricks

Beaverton, Oregon-based Paradigma Software, Inc and publisher Mirye Software
Publishing announce the release of version 3.5 of its ultra fast database
technology Valentina. This update is available across the product line,
including Valentina Office Server, Valentina Developer Network and visual
database environment Valentina Studio.

Valentina Office Server, Valentina Embedded Server and the free Valentina
Community Server now support custom database properties, some of which
include both read and write properties. This treats databases on servers as
objects, much as modern programmers have treated custom objects in
development. This represents a new breakthrough in database development -
while object-relational and true object-oriented databases have existed for
years, treating the database itself as a programmatic object is new.

Valentina technology release 3.5 also provides additional features to anyone
developing with Valentina:

New SQL Support. All products support SHOW VKEYWORDS, SHOW VIDENTS, GROUP BY
with ROLL UP and using OR with different JOINED Tables.

General Improvements. Over 20 new customer requested improvements and fixes.

Valentina SQL Learner Projects. New example projects are available for Adobe
Director, Runtime Revolution, and .net languages C# and VB.net in order for
new developers to learn how to work with Stored Procedures, Triggers and
link conversion. Runtime Revolution projects also include exporting data
into SQL native text and XML formats.

Valentina Studio Admin 3.5 is a visual tool for creating, querying,
designing and reporting on large datasets, and includes the ability to
import/convert data formats to Valentina using XML, text and ODBC. In
addition to numerous customer requested improvements and fixes, this version
adds several new features:

Better Database Diagrams. You can now save diagrams for moving them to other
databases, print diagrams and use integrated search on diagrams to quickly
locate issues with your projects.

Visual SQL Builder Improvements. You can now put very complex conditions
into one filter cell while building queries. 

New Add Views | Properties | Procedures. Updated menus, buttons and dialogs
make it much easier to add new work to open projects.

Valentina 3.5 is included free in bundles with several professional
developer kits, as well as with Valentina Office Server. Valentina Studio is
available on Mac OS X and Windows.

Valentina developer and business products support Windows, Mac OS X and
Linux (SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, Fedora Core and Ubuntu). Developers
solutions for integrating Valentina begin at $199 with support for every
major development system on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux: Apple xCode (Cocoa
and C++), Visual Basic, C/C++, Ruby (and Ruby on Rails), PHP, Adobe
Director, REAL Software REALbasic, Runtime Revolution, .net and any tool
that supports COM.

All Valentina products include at least one year of free updates.
