Just responding to myself, for the sake of anyone else who uses Valentina 2 with libDatabase. I am sure that most people will be using Sql Yoga, still...
I have only been trying out the basic functionality of libDatabase, and but that is working. These were the issues I came across: 1) Valentina install. I made a mistake here. I had installed Valentina in Rev on various versions of Linux. When I subsequently installed it on Windows, I only unzipped it and forgot to run install.rev. After I ran install.rev, the correct changes were made to the Rev install and Valentina functionality was available within the IDE. 2) There is a minor bug in libDatabase when it comes to getting the column names back from Valentina (it looks like it would only be an issue with Valentina2). This can be fixed within the function libdb_columnNames, by substituting this line: put VField_Value(it) &comma after tReturn with this line: put VField_Name(it) &comma after tReturn I know it's late in the day, but thanks Trevor for providing us with such a transparent solution for working with Rev and databases. I'm not sure if Valentina will turn out to be what I want, or if I will go on to use SQL Yoga in the future. But for sheer ease of getting started with a new db technology, libDatabase is a gem.
