Richard,
please note, that Mike is going to use Valentina Reports with SQLite.
Starting from 5.0, we have separate
"Valentina DB ADK" and
" Valentina Reports ADK"
Valentina Reports can be used with SQLite, mySQL, PostgreSQL any other dbs
via ODBC.

Don't know how Lynn, but I will be interested to hear :)
We claim here that Valentina DB is perfect
* Relational DB
* Object-Relational DB
* SQL DB
* NON-SQL DB, because exists reach OO API: 50 classes with 1000 methods.
* KEY-VALUE storage.

Large datasets - yes.
But yet 5 years ago was prove that Valentina have beat mySQL on small
queries per second... Because we use other nature of protocol. Prove was
from our user, which developed ORM for RB, later for ObjC, and tested it
both using mySQL and vServer.
