Valentina 3.5 Database Platform Released
Advanced Server Properties First to Show Modern Programming Practices Applied to Databases
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 for Linux 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.
Valentina Developer Network Platform Edition lets developers deploy unlimited, royalty free copies of Valentina Embedded Server on MacOS X, Windows and Linux. VDN Platform Edition costs $599, with discounts for customers who upgrade from another solution.
