Someone beat me to the punch of announcing! :-) Valentina Office Server is our per-deployment server product. What most people may not realize is that Valentina Office Server includes both database and a reporting engine. Reports are stored in project files which are a cross platform format. It is available on 32/64 bit Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. Technically speaking, you can connect to Valentina Office Server from almost every major dev environment/runtime on these platforms. Our commercial product Database ADK has two componentsa: a Client/Connector and a local runtime. The Client/Connector works without a serial number, and supports a single connection (the cost of ADK comes from having a local db runtime). As most people know, we support LiveCode on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. We've been getting waves of questions from the press and also people requesting licenses, so as those are answered we've been updating the FAQ (such as that you can actually get 3 licenses, one for each OS). Something also to keep in mind is that, Valentina DB isn't just another relational database - there are very good reasons why people pay money to license it in this era of FOSS. These include - - Ultra fast complex queries. Columnar DBs are fast. We've been working at it steadily for well over a decade. Imagine sharing the result of an ad hoc query during a meeting rather than telling a client you'll call them the next day. - Modern object-relational model. You can port over your db with schema set up like you normally would for MySQL. But you can also refine your schema to reduce complexity, increase readability of code and database size. Say goodbye to a lot of intermediary tables! - Lots of native connectors. We make them all, and they work just fine, including server side ones for PHP and RoR, and "client" size ones like LiveCode, xCode/Objective-C/Mac, xCode/Objective-C/iPhone, .NET and even COM. Free admin tools to use on your iPhone and iPad. - Very good security and compression options. Many companies use Valentina to store images, big BLOBs of text and the like. Blowfish encryption (and SSL with Office Server). There is a lot more. Anyway - now everyone can have a real powerhouse server in their small and medium sized workgroups and companies for no cost.
