Hi Rodrigo,

Laurent already gave you 3 valuable links to alternatives. Now your 
question has been asked before and there's lots of stuff in the archives, 
so here is a link to v12 vs. valentina discussions on direct-l:

http://listserv.uark.edu/scripts/wa.exe?S2=direct-lq=v12+and+valentinas=f 
=a=b=


 From what I understand datagrip offers access to MS access .mdb, last time 
I checked (which is some years ago) it was somewhat complicate to install. 
Can't say much about v12, valentina does a subset of SQL, imports data from 
.csv or via odbc and is astonishingly fast.

For a test I imported the text of the king james bible (4.622 KB text data, 
ca. 5.600 kb valentina data base files, 31.000+ records).

A search a la select * from BibleTable WHERE TextData LIKE 'Thou' takes 
80 - 110 milliseconds on my old athlon tb 800, lots of ram, while select * 
from BibleTable WHERE Book='2' AND Chapter='2' returns after 1 ms.

best regards
