Paradigma Releases Valentina 2.4.3
ADDS NEW SQL COMMANDS AND UNIVERSAL BINARY VERSION FOR REALBASIC
October 06, 2006. Beaverton, Oregon-based Paradigma Software, Inc
announces the immediate availability of Valentina Technology Release
2.4.3 for all developer and business products. The release provides
numerous minor productivity improvements in addition to new, advanced
SQL features and Universal Binary sup****t for REAL Software's REALbasic
development system.
Valentina 2's next generation, object-relational database model
builds on the traditional relational database model much like C++
builds on top of the C language. All that you know from working with
traditional database systems from IBM, Oracle and Microsoft also apply
to Valentina-based development. This robust technology excels at ultra
fast management of millions of records.
Valentina business products include Valentina Office Server for Windows
and MacOS X (PPC and Intel) and Valentina Studio, a fast and easy to
use visual tool for creating, browsing, querying and administering both
local and server-side Valentina databases. Valentina developer products
are the Valentina 2 Application Developer Kits that allow for royalty
free incor****ation into desktop applications. Valentina Developer
Network allows royalty free distribution of Valentina Embedded Server.
Developer solutions are available for every major development system on
MacOS X and Windows: Apple xCode (C++, Cocoa), MS Visual Studio (.net
and COM), REALbasic, Revolution, Delphi and more.
Valentina technology includes sup****t for Valentina XML im****t/ex****t,
Valentina SQL (SQL 92 + extensions), native Unicode UTF-16 sup****t,
simultaneous data exchange, transparent file formats, and more. Highly
optimized and unique technology allows Valentina database solutions to
operate hundreds to thousands of times faster than competing database
technologies.
General features in all Valentina 2.4.3 ADKS and Valentina Office
Server:
COMPACT RECORDS PROTOCOL. A new network protocol to compress
transmitted records by an average of 50%.
PACKET VERSIONING PROTOCOL. Packets can transmit versioning
information allowing improved communication with older/newer versions
of the Valentina client and Valentina Server components.
SQL: DROP TABLE [IF EXISTS]. If a table exists, it is automatically
dropped without an error message; this speeds rapid modification of
table structure without interactive feedback.
SQL: CREATE TABLE [IF NOT EXISTS]. If a table doesn't already exist,
then it is automatically created without generating an error message.
SQL: CREATE [TEM****ARY] TABLE AS SELECT. This feature allows a new
table to be created with a select statement, allowing very complex
behaviors to be executed on the newly created table. An example is to
automatically CLONE an existing table into a new table.
Features in Valentina Special Releases:
VALENTINA FOR REALBASIC Universal Binary Version. The best selling
local and client-server database solution for REAL Software's REALbasic
is now Universal Binary on MacOS X 10.4 Intel. During the month of
October, 2006, new users and upgrades to Valentina for REALbasic ADK
Pro will also receive a free copy of Valentina Office Server
5-Connections, a $299 value! Valentina Office Server Universal Binary
version was released in spring 2006.

administration tool includes over 20 fixes and productivity
improvements.
