YES! we also want get COMBINATION of
        Valentina + FileMaker + Access.

        yes Phyton on start,
        later we do not see principle problems to have also
        Java, and other languages on choice of developer.

Can you talk more about this integration?
How you see this?

For now as near step we have think about CODE GENRATION.
You in Vstudio create db, and can ask Vstudio to generate for you part of
code for any/all language that Valentina support.

SQL's CREATE TABLE
Or RB code for dynamic structure creation
Or RB code with Classes (although here problem -- names of classes, but this
can be as boTableName, fldFieldName)

Correct.
Jochen also dream about UML visual editor.
