Paradigma Software Valentina Studio 2.3.1 Released

DATABASE MANAGEMENT TOOL GAINS OVER 60 IMPROVEMENTS, UNIVERSAL BINARY FORMAT SUPPORT

April 28, 2006. Beaverton, Oregon. Leading multi-platform database vendor Paradigma Software, Inc announces the release of Valentina Studio, Admin Edition 2.3.1.

Valentina for Cocoa is ready for public beta testing. Its downloadable here.

Valentina for Cocoa is based on the Valentina 2.x architecture. That is, its a robust, extremely fast database system for creating desktop and true server applications (with  Valentina Embedded Server). If you program with Cocoa and want fast and flexible, Valentina for Cocoa is for you.

A few notes on this release:

• If you aware of our class design for Valentina for REALbasic, you will find some similarities to how its structured in Valentina for Cocoa.
• Valentina for Cocoa is for use with Objective-C, programming in xCode on the Mac
• The API is ready for use with Apple’s binding mechanism
• Sorry, there is only one code example with this release
• V4CC is in Universal Binary Format! Valentina for Cocoa joins out Valentina C++ ADK and Valentina Studio products.

We invite everybody with an interest in Cocoa framework programming to give this a try. Quite a few developers who develop with REALbasic on the Mac seem to either be picking up Cocoa development or migrating there. We’ve tried to make migration as easy as possible.

BREAKTHROUGH SPEED ON JOINS; NEW SQL COMMANDS

Leading multi-platform database vendor Paradigma Software, Inc, makers of the ultra-fast Valentina 2 Office Server, announce the shipping of Valentina 2.3.

Valentina 2’s next generation, object-relational database model builds on the traditional relational database model much like C++ builds on top of the C language. All that you know from working with traditional database systems from IBM, Oracle and Microsoft also apply to Valentina-based development. This robust technology excels at ultra fast management of millions of records. Valentina is not another in-memory database but a true disk based DBMS.

Valentina 2.3 includes a dramatic leap forward in speed for database JOINS (including data from two or more database tables) with a new breakthrough algorithm. In a comparative analysis in base configurations between Valentina and MS SQL Server 2000 on Windows, on joins of 5,000,000 and 20,000,000 record test databases, Valentina was between 2-6 times faster than MS SQL Server. Based on file structural differences of even larger databases, Valentina 2.3 can be 50-100 times faster or more (MS Server, mySQL, PostGre, SQLite and Oracle have the same file based limitations), depending on the record size of a table.
