Valentina is its own database engine/server. It isnt a client for mySQL
Server.

There is an additional product called Valentina ODBC which adds an ODBC
driver to your apps, so its possible to use ODBC to interactively import
data into Valentina. This is very useful, for example, if you want to import
data from Excel or some other ODBC compliant application into your
application.

Hello y'all,

Can Valentina XCMD (aka "VXCMD") operate with [any] standard mySQL server ?

Or will it only work with Valentina's servers (aka "VSERVER") ?

Valentina 1.x was...a long time ago. I believe that's when it was still
Valentina XCMD and not Valentina for Revolution. The best thing to do is
just to download and give it a try.

As Ken says, support is a big forte of Valentina. On the other hand, 
the documentation has been always somewhat deficient. At least, there 
is now a decent set of examples for V4REV. Each version of Valentina 
has its own quirks, just like Revolution. The development process is 
not branched, so one has to keep upgrading to get bug fixes, just 
like Revolution again. Overall, IMHO, I think it beats pants off of 
competition for desktop applications, particularly in terms of 
performance, although it became somewhat bulky as software (good that 
this is mostly not so important nowadays). I haven't used the server 
version yet, so no opinion there, but I haven't heard anything really 
negative, either.

Actually, I'm not completely in the "yay-Valentina!" camp. ;-)

I was working with a client on an application that was using Valentina as
the DB, and it did not scale very well... we had a situation where my
client's major customer couldn't get more than a few hours out of Val
without it crashing. We worked with Ruslan almost daily for over a month and
couldn't figure out what the issue was. We ended up switching to MySQL and
have been happy as clams ever since.

NOTE, however, that (a) we were using Valentina 1.x, not 2.x (which is
supposed to be more stable/flexible/etc.), (b) we were not having any
problems with our smaller customers (i.e. 2-20 concurrent users) but only
had problems with the larger ones (50-150 concurrent users), and (c) Ruslan
was INCREDIBLY responsible to us and was working with us daily, giving us
custom builds, etc., so the support was excellent.

I'm not sure any of the above applies to you, but just thought I'd bring it
up.

Thanks for the tip. I already have, and Ruslan has already replied. He has 
graciously provided me with a URL so that I can download a DEMO version of 
whichever version suits MetaCard 2.5. Which I figure is the first one in a 
l-o-n-g list of versions, e.g. version 1.11

This demo version will only work about "10 minutes at a time", but one of the 
respondents in this thread assured me that it was in-fact longer than 10 
minutes AND that it would be sufficient to evaluate whether Valentina is for me.

As it has been for y'all, I surmise, because respondents in this thread have 
been unanimously favorable to Valentina. No one reported any regret. Not 
so-far, anyways. I'd like to hear from other Valentina users too, or would-be 
users that were discouraged.. or whomever has something relevant to say about 
Valentina. Good or bad are equally welcome.  :)

I'm being so-cautious because I have dedicated hundreds of hours, testing 
various databases (DBMSs), over the years, and NONE of them did the trick for 
me, including XCMDs for HyperCard. This time, I want to KNOW for SURE that I'll 
be headed in the right direction. :)

Thanks y'all for the heads-up,  :)

Alain

Actually, Robert, at that time Runtime Revolution hadn't quite acquired the
engine yet (they did so in July of 2003)... so it truly was "MetaCard 2.5"
(which was released in April of 2003, IIRC).

Alain, one caveat on using Valentina is whether the *current* Valentina will
work with MC 2.5; you may need to find/acquire an older version for it to
work. You should contact Ruslan Zasukhin at Paradigmasoft (sunshine AT

ANN] Valentina Server 2.0 a42, clients: C++, RB, Director, VB, XCMD uploaded

2003-10-08 Thread Ruslan Zasukhin
Valentina Server 2.0a42 and Valentina 2.0a42 clients are now available
for download.

Most of the API has been implemented, except for Import/Export to ASCII
(which will be enabled when we have moved to the new kernel).

This version includes support for client/server handling of picture
data, cross platform:

win <-> mac
win <-> win
mac <-> mac
mac <-> win

We invite you to try out the Valentina clients (Director, REALbasic,
XCMD, VisualBasic, C++) and our new Valentina Server software!

We have a very successful international implementation with client
connections from Germany connecting to our test server in our home
office.

Valentina Studio Administrator (a cross-platform desktop tool) is also
in alpha testing. It will let you work with db files visually without
programming. It allows work with both local and remote db files located
under a Valentina Server. If you are interested in the testing of Vstudio
please contact us.

[ANN] Valentina 1.9.7b1 release

2002-12-16 Thread Ruslan Zasukhin
Hi All,

Today we make the first maintain release 1.9.7 b1.

Below you will find full list of new features, changes and fixed bugs.

Note the most important things:
-- Valentina for PHP module.
-- Valentina for Director carbonized.
-- Valentina JDBC driver announce.


Version 1.9.7b1// Dec 16, 2002


*** NEW *

- [VPHP] Introduced VPHP module for OS X and Windows.
- [V4MD] V4MD is Carbonized, so it works with Director
 MX and Projector on OS X.

CreateDataBase( char* path );
OpenDataBase( char* path );
 that works on all platforms, including MacOS classic.

- [C++ SDK]  VDK_Database class now have function
VDK_Database::GetDataBaseByPath(
  const char* inFullPath );
 which can be used as well as
GetDatabase( FBL_String inName );
 to check if for required database already
 exists VDK_Database object.
 On success returns pointer to this object.

- [C++ SDK]  Class VDK_Cursor now have functions

- [C SDK]GetEOF() and GetBOF() which provide OTHER logic of
 record navigation than NextRecord(), PrevRecord().
 We was need them for VPHP module.

- [C++ SDK]  Now functions
const FBL_String& VDK_Database::GetName()
const FBL_String& VDK_Database::GetFullPath()
 work on all platforms in the same way.
 GetName() returns the name of db file.
 GetFullPath() returns the full path in the format
 of corresponded platform.

- [KERNEL]   Now Valentina can accept UNIX paths on OS X.
- [C SDK]Function GetErrrorString() now have parameter errCode.


*** FIXED BUGS ***

- [V4MD] Crash on finish of script if forget to do db = VOID
- [V4MD] AddRecord() now returns FALSE in case of error.

- [V4RB][WIN]Property HOUR in Time field was broken.
 Probably CW 8 bug.

- [VAPP][AS] Command  'recordsAsString' now do not change

Hi Rodney,

Let me tell a little history.

During last 2 years we have had "Valentina XCMD" which was able work
With HyperCard, SuperCard and MetaCard and was made as xfcn.

But later MetaCard developers did ask to make special version adopted to
metaCard which will be able for example work with binary data and arrays of
MetaCard. 

To be able do this I was need switch to CODE resource (as required by MC).
So now we have 
VXCMD for HyperCard based on xfcn resource
VXCMD for MetaCard based on CODE resource

Let me chime in that there are two different aspects of using 
valentina, each with its own level of complexity and learning curve.

1. Using valentina as a database engine in metacard -- quite easy and 
not much to learn

2. designing and maintaining databases, particularly when taking full 
advantage of relational features -- that can be easy or a can of 
warms depending on your background and experience. But many issues 
here have little to do with Valentina per se.

[ANN] Valentina 1.9.1b4

2002-05-14 Thread Ruslan Zasukhin

Hi All,

I am glad inform you that you can download new beta of
Valentina APP, V4RB and V4MD/Mac that introduce GROUP BY in SQL:

SELECT count(*), count(f), sum(f), avg(f), min(f), max(f)

And the same with DISTINCT:

SELECT count(DISTINCT f), sum(DISTINCT f), avg(DISTINCT  f)

V4RB archive contain TEST project that demonstrate about 50 tests on this.

Also I was able optimize SELECT DISTINCT to use new algorithm.

Guys, this must be fantastic thing. Just atomic!
It is based on sort algorithms of Valentina, so we can expect about 1000
times faster work of DISTINCT than e.g. In 4D or mySQL.

For example on G3/233 DISTINCT for one field on table with million records
will take just 6 seconds. On iMAC/350 about 3 seconds, on G4/450 less of
second.

* Was fixed a couple of bugs on OUTER JOIN algorithm.

* So, please test this new beta and let me know if any problems.

Well, let's at first ask on Valentina list and Brian Yennie (he can already
have new beta of MC)...

But at first I advice to check next point:
may be he have forget assign to new version of MC more RAM in GetInfo
dialog of Finder? Usually this mistake cause type 2 error.

The posted info was not correct. MC does indeed support 'xfcn' (PPC)

I don't know whether I misinterpreted something posted on the list or 
the posted info was not correct. I just checked that valentina xfcn 
works just fine with MetaCard. This means that MC supports ppc

With regards to VXCMD on Macintosh, Valentina code is PPC-only and 
the shared lib is accessed thru an xfcn. However, if I understand 
correctly, MetaCard recognizes only XFCN resources. Is Scott going to 
support xfcn's? Actually, if Scott want to really push MetaCard into 
database arena as it was stated in another post, an extended 
interface would be needed so binary data can be passed not just 
strings as with traditonal xcmds/xfcns.

You are going to use VXCMD as I see.

IF this is normal app (i.e. which will not compete to Valentina itself)
then you can distribute Valentina XCMD module with your app with no fees,
you can sale even million copies of your application.

Note, on MacOS you can use AddLib (included into VXCMD archive) to put
shared lib "Valentina engine" directly into your application.

On Windows there is no such way and you will have app + VXCMD.DLL

Re: Valentina

2001-01-23 Thread Simon Lord

Don't take it the wrong way, I was just having one of those days (you 
know, the kind of day where you try to convince a client MetaCard can 
query MySQL).  Pure frustration on my part, we all *seem* to adore 
MetaCard, but try telling that to someone who only remembers pushing 
A grc from point a to point B in Hypercard (but thinks Macromedia is 
the way to go).  Sure MetaCard does way more, and on more platforms, 
but trying to express it and follow up your comments is much harder.

Then I saw the article, followed the link, saw "Hypercard" spelled 
out and had a brain fart.  So I figure, hell if all anyone can 
remember is Hypercard than what better than to tell people it's alive 
again.

I was just thinking of an alternate universe where it could happen

PS: Ruslan, I apologize for any distress I may be causing you.  I 
just can't get my head around the fact that Hypercard has been dead 
for so many years and people still talk about it like it's still a 
viable option for the future.

Simon, believe me we was not going offend Metacard in any way!
Just visa versa, main developer of VXCMD -- Brian Yenni is MetaCard
developer and we have made all our best to provide you great database engine
as on MAC so on Windows.

Robert, please check if we really have miss MetaCard in some places of our
WEB pages, Okay ?

Simon, actually 1.8.7 release have had 3 major features:
-- introduces Java
-- carbon version of V4RB
-- carbon ver of VAPP.

if you want you can find in archive release 1.8.6 or 1.8.5 which was WHOLE
about VXCMD.

I must say that MacDev even did not want send it out, because they did say
that XCMD is old ant not modern. So I argument that VXCMD can be used as in
old xCards (HC, SC) so in today's product MetaCard, also in Fronteir and
probably in MacPerl.

on windows VXCMD will be always as separate DLL about 700KB.

On MAC we have include into VXCMD archive AddLib utility,
which allow you join shared lib "Valentina Engine" into resource fork.
Or you also can work with separate shared lib.

Also, note that database engine can require many RAM for big database, so
you need assign on MAC in finder GetInfo dialog more RAM for you final
standalone app.

By tests Valentina work with disk based fields faster than some RAM-based
databases (we have such user which come to Valentina).

You don't need do any efforts on putting of files to RAM,
Valentina has excellent cache system.

Hello list,

I just spent some time checking Valentina for Metacard
and must confess that I'm quite impressed. This thing
could fit very well for a couple of projects I have pending
right now...

But I have a couple of questions, especially regarding
memory management. When saving a Metacard stack
as a standalone, about 2.5 Mb (basically the Metatalk
interpreter) are added to the stack.
Valentina for Metacard is an XCMD, so I guess that to
be fully operational it has to be added to the ressource
fork of the stack, which should add another 600 Kb (the
exact figure skips my mind right now) to the stack, right ?
And is it the same for the Windoze version ?

And what about the Valentina files (data, indexes...) ?
Does the XCMD access them on the HD, or is there
any benefit / possibility to upload them in RAM ?

Last but not least : is there somewhere any exhaustive
list of all XCMDs available for Metacard (I'm especially
interested in those running on Mac AND Win) ?

Thanks.

Valentina

2001-01-22 Thread Simon Lord

Huge article over at MacCentral for Valentina but it does not mention 
or link to MetaCard.  And it pains me to see Valentina's web site 
actually spell out "Apple's Hypercard" which is dead from Apple's 
point of view, but lump MetaCard into the word xTalk.  We need to 
support Scott and MetaCard by actually spelling this stuff out for 
others and not let them guess at what xTalk is (I met an old 
HyperCard programmer at Discreet last week, he had no idea what 
MetaCard was):

http://www.maccentral.com/news/0101/22.osxproducts.shtml

It just talks about Java and Realbasic, why can't MetaCard get some 
free mentions in these articles???

You now, ironically, I think that MetaCard sales would probably 
rocket if Scott got the rights to name MetaCard "HyperCard".  Maybe 
MC should do an IPO, the users buy stock, the money is used to buy 
HyperCard from Apple - tell the world its alive again (but it's 
really MetaCard), and watch the user base grow.

Just thinking out loud.

Hi Andu,

I think end of spring is good time.

Actually porting to Linux require fixes only 2 files:
FBL_File.cpp and BL_Thread.cpp

This files are opened sources in Valentina C++ SDK archive,
so if some C++ Linu developer want to speed up process he can study this
files and fix them for Linux.

1) Well, usually our releases contains at least paragraph
where all supported APIs are listed.

2) If consider last release that for MetaCard developers important
information is:

a) Valentina application is not Carbon ready (i.e. works on X)
This is important because Valentina APP is something like FileMaker,
it allow you easy browse your database and modify db structure.

b) new release of Valentina product line have go out.
Full list of fixed bugs can be found in downloadable archive.

---
To put balsam on heart of MetaCard developers I want say:

1) We have spend 2 hard months to enable Valentina database engine for
MetaCard as on Windows so on MAC.

2) the most hard was implement Valentina XCMD as fast as possible.
We have made 3 big remake of VXCMD to reach speed which satisfy me and allow
shine to Valentina engine.

3) MetaCard works with VXCMD several times faster than other xCards.

My opinion on this is that such an announcement is *not* spam, that this
kind of information is useful and relevant to this list.

Nor is it all that important that every *single* post that goes to this list
be exactly on topic: the vast majority are, and in general I think its
helpful to have a relaxed policy - people use this list as a general
development resource.  For example, asking questions about monitor
resolutions and modem speeds are not *precisely* related to MetaCard, but
are so useful and close to the subject that I wouldn't think for a moment to
try to interfere with them.

Finally, as a general point, I think the best place to protest about spam,
or other unwanted posts of any description, is my mail box - rather than
this list...

Personally, I like MetaCard-related product notices here.  Yes, I think a
summary of the release with a URL to the full text would be a better read
here, but even more so would be when a release i actually related to
MetaCard:  I saw RealBASIC in the release notice, but did I miss the mention

Please take my apologies for sending to MC list general PR.

I understand reaction of Simon, which decide that this is just spam.
Valentina is new for Metacard community, so probably many people are not
aware yet that actually Paradigma offers a product for Metacard developers
-- Valentina XCMD (VXCMD)
as for MAC so for Windows.

We do release of the WHOLE product line.
This means that release 1.8.7 offers improvements and fixes to VXCMD users
also.

I also think so, there is nothing bad to get announcement on list of new
products and updates which will help you work.

Agree, on the other hand this is hard enough to do,
because Valentina now support a lots of API:
C++, Java, Director, RB, xCards, WebSiphon, AppleScript

Highly recommend to use.

Dan, if you want to get info about Valentina the best place -- Valentina
list. (btw on our WEB you can find archive for last 1.5 years).
On this list you will meet several hundreds of Valentina developers which
work on MAC and Windows, which use all that different APIs, but they are
joined by Valentina. Valentina community is very friendly and responsible
(as Valentina itself :-)

PERFORMANCE: you can find benchmarks of Valentina on our site.
in short -- incredible

PROJECTS: practically of any kind. From small -- like a pref files,
to databases with many tables and hundreds of thousand of records.

One of the important for many developers "feature" of Valentina -- its files
can be easy used from any supported environments. For example you can
develop part of your project in MC and other part in C++ or Java.

FUTURE?
Valentina Server
improved SQL
Linux porting
more Object-Oriented features in database

On the other hand, it's nice to get information about 
Metacard-related products. We're not exactly swamped with them. :)

However, the press-release style probably doesn't make many friends

developers would be nicer.

By the way, I just gave the Valentina xcmd (Windows version) a try

It took a couple of long sessions to work out what I was doing, but I

Valentina 1.8.7 Introduces Java, MacOS X REALbasic, Shockwave Versions

TECHNOLOGY RELEASE 1.8.7 INCLUDES NEW PRODUCT, STRATEGIC IMPROVEMENTS TO
DIRECTOR, REALBASIC AND MAC OS X VERSIONS

January 18, 2001. Beaverton, Oregon. Paradigma Software announced the
availability of technology release 1.8.7, including powerful new
functionality to most SDKs and MacOS X support. It introduces the release
version of Valentina for Java (VJSDK), Shockwave safe and Authorware
friendly Valentina for Director, and MacOS X ready versions of Valentina
application and Valentina for REALbasic.

Valentina for Java is the first of Paradigma Software's line of database
tools for development of client side pure Java applications. VJSDK includes
implementations for Macintosh and Windows development and  includes the
Valentina application (VAPP) for rapid creation and modification of
object-relational databases. VJSDK is available for $299.

Valentina for Director release 1.8.7 is now Shockwave safe, meaning the
Valentina runtime can be downloaded with a Director Shockwave project. It
also includes compatibility with Macromedia Authorware. Valentina for
Director is available for Macintosh and Windows platforms. Single platform
pricing is $199. Two platform pricing is $299, and includes the Valentina
application. Version 1.X users can upgrade to the latest version for free.

Valentina for REALbasic 1.8.7 is the MacOS X compliant version of the
Valentina implementation for the popular visual BASIC environment,
REALbasic, supporting REAL Software's native MacOS X and Classic
compilation. Valentina for REALbasic Standard Edition is available for $199.
The Professional version is $299, includes the Valentina application and
supports Windows compilation.

Version 1.X users can upgrade to the 1.8.7 versions for free.

"REALbasic programmers want to develop for MacOS X now so they can ship OS X
ready applications when the OS is ready. They don't want their apps to be
forced to run under 'Classic'.  With V4RB 1.8.7, they can be assured that
their Classic, MacOS X, 68K and Windows applications are all supported by
the fastest and most robust database engine available for REALbasic," said
Ruslan Zasukhin, founder of Paradigma Software.

What you mean David ?
For development of what ?

Right now we have Valentina C++ SDK for MAC and WIN.
Yes it will be relatively easy port Valentina kernel to Linux.

But at first I want port it on preemptive MacOS X,
then step to Linux will be short...

You ask how to run example project from VXCMD for Windows archive ?

1) Make sure that VXCMD.DLL correctly listed in list of DLLs of stack

2) run project, 

-- click button "create", choose location on disk for database

-- to add test records click "Add Records", enter in dialog for example 100.
VXCMD will add 100 records.

-- Now you can click "select records"
you will see dialog with simplest SQL: "SELECT * FROM Customers"
  click Ok
  you will see fields of first record.
  Now you can use navigation buttons to go next/prev/first/last records.
  Enter new SQL


Please note, VXCMD Win archive is old enough.
Latest 2 months we have work with MAC version only.

VXCMD 1.8.6 final release with a lots of improvements expect tomorrow.

Hi Michael,

to start use Valentina XCMD in your project you need
a) on Windows add VXCMD.dll to list of dlls
b) on MAC copy by ResEdit xfcn "Valentina" and install shared lib "Valentina
engine" into extension folder or MC folder

First you call to Valentina must be
ValentinaInit( cache, ...)

On finish you need 
ValentinaShutDown()

Between them you can do anything

Database_Create()
Databae_MakeNewBaseObject
...

Hi MetaCard developers,

I'd like to inform you about ability to built into your MetaCard
applications Valentina database engine.

If somebody don't know, this is a db engine
which works on many operations in 100-1000 times faster of such dbs
as FileMaker, 4D.
Looks like It is much faster of mySQL also,
although there was no yet good direct tests.

Right now we are finishing a new product -- Valentina XCMD.
Actually this is a combination of
-- small 'xfcn' resource 200 bytes
-- and Shared Library "Valentina kernel"

So, now you have VERY EFFECTIVE way to work with Valentina database
directly. I underline "VERY EFFECTIVE" because combination of xfcn + shared
lib works in 20-30 times faster than XCMD itself.

Even better, special for MetaCard developers was made Windows version of
"Valentina XCMD" 

If you decide stop by Valentina on long time, then subscribe to Valentina
list where you will find several hundreds of Valentina developers.
