[Ruslan Zasukhin]

Hi All,

    http://www.valentina-db.com/download/beta2/3.6b20

We are happy introduce next BIG beta build with Valentina Reports.
I am sending this letter to main Valentina list to attract attention of more
developers and invite you to be beta testers.


So what we have now.

-----------------------------------------------------
* uploaded both MAC and Windows Valentina Studio PRO.
    includes VPROJECT and VREPORT new features.

See a simple TUTORIAL here

And here not completed yet manual

-----------------------------------------------------
* [NEW] Valentina SERVER + REPORTS  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    
Now Valentina Server get big new feature:

    VSERVER self can manage Valentina Project (*.vsp)
    which keeps set of designed in Valentina Studio reports.
    
    Then VSERVER can on request of vclient generate
        a) JPG of single Nth page for preview
        b) PDF which a specified range of pages.
    
    
-----------------------------------------------------
* [NEW] Valentina ADK can get data to generate report as from LOCAL db, so
from remote db under Valentina Server. We have implement support of VREPORTS
in 
    Valentina for REALbasic
    Valentina for Director
    Valentina for Revolution
    Valentina for COM
    Valentina for NET
    Valentina for PHP
    Valentina for C++

So you, as Valentina developer have two choices:

    a) ADK + VREPORT.dll  get data from any Valentina db
        and generate report on client side
    
    b) you use VSERVER + VREPORT to generate reports right on
        the server side.

Each case have own advantages. VSERVER's main advantage as always

    * central place to keep REPORTs to update them if needed.
    * ability use with VPHP
    * Hey, this can work with iPhone? :)


Each ADK have new Examples/Vreport folder with example(s) that show how to
open PROJECT file, and extract VREPORT, then preview it or generate PDF.

    
-----------------------------------------------------
* [NEW] Valentina PHP

Is the only ADK which do not have own REPORT feature.
    so it can work only with VSERVER + REPORTS.



-----------------------------------------------------
* [NEW][SQL]

    * (!!!) Valentina 3.6 introduces complete support correlated sub-queries

    * (!) Stored Procedures now can use EXECUTE command to execute
            query strings created by concatenation inside of procedure.

    * New GROUP_CONCAT() function, as well as
        
* GRANT/REVOKE/SHOW GRANTS
* CREATE/DROP USER


-----------------------------------------------------
* [NEW][VSERVER] 

- Now you can specify to user access to some dbs only using GRANT command,
    so single VSERVER can serve data of few companies.


   
P.S. In the next letter I will provide full list of fixed Mantis issues for
3.6
