Hi Ben,
Can anyone give me some clues about using Valentina from Rev via the XCMD?
I've been able to use it via the revdb functions with some limited success,
but had some crashes (sadly not been able to pin down) and I think not
everything can be done via the SQL interface - for example, I've not been
able to create a new database from scratch. So I'd like to dig into the
direct interface.
I've looked at the documentation, both Rev's and Valentina's, but not got
anywhere.
As I understand it, Rev ships with the Valentina XCMD already integrated it.
Is that right, or should I need to do install anything else to get working?
Yes, but it is not always the latest version (Ruslan is extremely busy in
releasing updates, so this is impossible per se :-)...
And it is in this subfolder:
/Applications/Revolution 2.1/components/global environment/database_drivers/MacOSX/
So you better to put it into the Rev folder to make it work in your stacks. ;-)
(This behaviour of Rev has always confused me, since sometimes the sample stacks seem to
loose the connection to the appropriate DLLs/External...)

My first - perhaps it's my only - problem is the name of the function. The
documentation from Rev is nowhere (that I can find) explicit about this.
The documentation from Paradigma suggests that there should be a function
called "Valentina", eg that there should be possible to execute
put Valentina( "Version" )
See below...
When I attempt the above, I get "error in function handler". (I also tried
it as a handler rather than a function - just get the equivalent, "no such
handler".) Do I need to do something else to make the Valentina functions
available? Or is just a slightly different name?
Any clues gratefully accepted.
did you take a look at the VXCMD Docs?

I am sure you wil find the answers here...
