With Valentina 2.5.8 Standard ADK, a developer can embed a local copy of the Valentina database runtime, and distribute their applications royalty free. This version of Valentina is fully upgradeable, both to Valentina ADKs as well as Valentina Developer Network, a product that allows royalty free distribution of Valentina Embedded Server. Because Valentina was originally developed for high performance and security on a network, transitioning projects to client-server or web application implementations only improve performance.
Valentina Database technology was first developed and released by Paradigma founder and VP of Engineering Ruslan Zasukhin in 1998. The company has since moved headquarters to the United States, and opened or entered into agreements for representative offices in Germany and Japan.
"Database performance became sexy again with Valentina. Many vendors claim superior performance, however after importing millions of records into Valentina and performing a head to head comparison in executing complex SQL statements, you will understand why developers have chosen Valentina for their cross-platform applications," said Ruslan Zasukhin, VP of Engineering.
In addition to being an industry compliant, SQL database system, with full support for standards like Unicode, encryption, and XML import/export, Valentina is based on a unique object-relational model. This unique model is why Valentina executes SQL statements often hundreds of times faster than competing technologies such as MySQL, MS SQL Server and FileMaker Server - even with millions of records. Since interface plug-ins to every major development environment are provided by Paradigma, Valentina is able to take advantage of native environment features and frameworks.
