Hello all, You can scroll down for the full release. To pick out bits just for Revolution users...
- There are some new sample projects available that will be helpful in getting started with Valentina, especially if you are still new at this SQL thing :-) - The VKEYWORDS and custom database properties are extremely interesting because it makes a database _server_ more like an object you would program using object-oriented programming, where you can attach custom properties to it (not an unknown concept in Revolution :-)). -Valentina Studio is getting much more solid, easier to use, and it has database diagrams which makes planning your database less painful. -Specific to Revolution - the ability to pull and display pictures from a Valentina DB into Rev has been improved/fixed. Best regards, Lynn Fredricks President Proactive International, LLC - Because it is about who you know.(tm) http://www.proactive-intl.com - Mirye Software Publishing http://www.mirye.com --------------------------------------------------- Beaverton, Oregon-based Paradigma Software, Inc and publisher Mirye Software Publishing announce the release of version 3.5 of its ultra fast database technology Valentina. This update is available across the product line, including Valentina Office Server, Valentina Developer Network and visual database environment Valentina Studio. Valentina Office Server, Valentina Embedded Server and the free Valentina Community Server now support custom database properties, some of which include both read and write properties. This treats databases on servers as objects, much as modern programmers have treated custom objects in development. This represents a new breakthrough in database development - while object-relational and true object-oriented databases have existed for years, treating the database itself as a programmatic object is new. Valentina technology release 3.5 also provides additional features to anyone developing with Valentina: New SQL Support. All products support SHOW VKEYWORDS, SHOW VIDENTS, GROUP BY with ROLL UP and using OR with different JOINED Tables. General Improvements. Over 20 new customer requested improvements and fixes. Valentina SQL Learner Projects. New example projects are available for Adobe Director, Runtime Revolution, and .net languages C# and VB.net in order for new developers to learn how to work with Stored Procedures, Triggers and link conversion. Runtime Revolution projects also include exporting data into SQL native text and XML formats. Valentina Studio Admin 3.5 is a visual tool for creating, querying, designing and reporting on large datasets, and includes the ability to import/convert data formats to Valentina using XML, text and ODBC. In addition to numerous customer requested improvements and fixes, this version adds several new features: Better Database Diagrams. You can now save diagrams for moving them to other databases, print diagrams and use integrated search on diagrams to quickly locate issues with your projects. Visual SQL Builder Improvements. You can now put very complex conditions into one filter cell while building queries. New Add Views | Properties | Procedures.
