GENERAL FEATURES INTRODUCED IN VALENTINA 2.4.3 COMPACT RECORDS PROTOCOL. A new network protocol to compress transmitted records by an average of 50%. PACKET VERSIONING PROTOCOL. Packets can transmit versioning information allowing improved communication with older/newer versions of the Valentina client and Valentina Server components. SQL: DROP TABLE [IF EXISTS]. If a table exists, it is automatically dropped without an error message; this speeds rapid modification of table structure without interactive feedback. SQL: CREATE TABLE [IF NOT EXISTS]. If a table doesn't already exist, then it is automatically created without generating an error message. SQL: CREATE [TEMPORARY] TABLE AS SELECT. This feature allows a new table to be created with a select statement, allowing very complex behaviors to be executed on the newly created table. An example is to automatically CLONE an existing table into a new table. VALENTINA STUDIO ENHANCED. The visual database creation, browsing and administration tool includes over 20 fixes and productivity improvements. Valentina 2.4.3 is a free upgrade for current users of Valentina 2.x products. All new features have been documented on the company wiki. Valentina 2.4.2 ADKs start at $199. Valentina Developer Network, which allows royalty free distribution of Valentina Embedded Server, starts at $499.
