Create virtual links where you need the functionality of foreign keys without creating foreign keys.
Sometimes design constraints keep you from adding foreign keys to a database or you are assigned to work on a database that doesn't use foreign keys. Virtual Links make no changes to your database, but instead uses methods to create links outside of the database but within Studio.
Within Valentina Studio, Virtual Links can work exactly like foreign keys. Many common CMS solutions, such as Wordpress, Mantis and Joomla do not use foreign keys but rely on other methodologies.
Automatic Virtual Links
Automatic Virtual Links take the form of REGEX and make no modification to your database schema.

Manual Virtual Links
Automatic Virtual Link creation is a great time saver but, if you have a database that doesn't employ strict naming rules then you can still set up manual Virtual Links.
