As revServer you mean this?

Why you talk about Valentina Free Server?
Why cannot be used Valentina Office Server?

Why you can't?

Any OS platform. You install VSERVER, make your REV app.
Host them together. What problems?

Plus the same VSERVER can be touched by any other Valentina Client
    from C++, C#, ObjC ... To PHP, RB, REV, Director, ShockWave, ...

That is cool :)

2 weeks ago I have to hear about man with 1000 tables..
You have new record :)

This is question to top-managers :)

To keep e.g. Prefs?

For this exists ini, xml files :)
RDBMS is really not required here.

Well, I can say that Europe AOL team have test Valentina 9 months ago to be
used as AD-search key value service. Right now they seems to be on Berkly
yet. And of course they have used C++ way. Valentina have win as they have
told. In the same resources of RAM and hardware Valentina did produce zero
time outs while others did produce failures of searches. And searches was
really very simple key/value. Word -> AD picture... 1 record in result.
Unfortunately economic crisis have prevent that project so far.
