"High performance on more modest hardware" went always the way i recommended to most of my customers (EADS excluded, of course !). > Check out information from one user from about eight years ago (!) in > building a kiosk project, comparing Valentina with MS Access.

Seems really interesting. Is Valentina server able to run as a LiveCode server companion ? Is it way to install it in an on-rev account ? > > "I developed a kiosk project using Paradigma's Valentina database in > Macromedia Director (not exactly renowned as a speedy environment), but on a > P3/600 with 384 Mb RAM I imported and indexed 20 million records (about 1.2 > Gb) inside two hours.

I never used it in a production-state project... I liked to have to do with direct-to-disk flat-file-based MC/Rev db, SQLServer (a Sybase technology, as anyone should remember), Sybase ASE, PostgreSQL or even Oracle 8i to 11g. I never got pleasure and confidence to run MySQL but it seems i will get good time in testing Valentina, hopefully, in the near.
