RUNTIME REVOLUTION AND PARADIGMA SOFTWARE ANNOUNCE DATA-DRIVEN
REVOLUTION SOLUTION

Ultra-Fast Valentina Database Technology Available Through Runtime
Revolution

April 8th, 2003. Runtime Revolution and Paradigma Software today
announced two initiatives to bring Valentina Database Technology to
Revolution developers.

Revolution, the premiere cross-platform rapid application development
environment from Runtime Revolution, now incorporates direct access to
the Valentina XCMD component. In addition, Revolution developers can now
purchase Valentina XCMD directly from Runtime Revolution, alone or in a
bundle with Revolution, giving immediate access to the full power of
Valentina databases. Revolution makes it easy to create powerful,
fully-functional, and easy-to-use database front-end solutions.

Paradigma Software's Valentina technology incorporates a unique SQL
compatible database kernel, known for its ability to manage millions of
records with both speed and reliability, limited only by available RAM.
Its modern core lets you build database solutions using any type of
data, including BLOBs (binary large objects), making Valentina the
choice for storing, sorting, and retrieving such materials as numbers,
text, audio, video, and other media objects. Valentina XCMD solutions
work with Windows, MacOS and MacOS X versions of Runtime Revolution.

The Revolution Valentina XCMD solution is available immediately for
purchase through Runtime Revolution.
