To better understand possible benefits of Valentina I advice you review in 5-30 minutes few our articles of such kind in Valentina WIKI <http://www.valentina-db.com/docs/dokuwiki/v5/doku.php?id=valentina:articles :articles> Short and not complete list: * speed -- can be times faster of normal row-based dbs (mySQL, SQLite, postgre, MS SQL, ...) * smarter -- Valentina Data Model is extended Relational model. * simpler SQL -- because smarter :) * mySQL do all via SQL, Valentina have this way and API way. So if you have haer good words about Key/Value DBs, about non-SQL DBs, Then Valentina is a perfect example of such DB also .. Valentina is hybrid of many worlds. * recursive queries * SELECT for XML -> returns ready for use XML.. todo json * mySQL is SERVER ... And only. SQLite - local engine only Valentina have and SERVER and embedded engine ... so you have from box working both ways without any headacke. * Valentina Reports -- right now we prepare very interesting news and examples ... And so on ... Please ask more if you need. -- Best regards, Ruslan Zasukhin VP Engineering and New Technology Paradigma Software, Inc Valentina - Joining Worlds of Information http://www.paradigmasoft.com [I feel the need: the need for speed] _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
