I think you're completely wrong here. We need a Client/Server solution  
that
we are waiting for a long time. Some of us have already jumped to some  
other
RDBMS because of that.

Valentina 1.X seems to be -already- a good product, since we use it  
extensively. So
I don't see any reason to wait for Valentina 2 to get Valentina Server  
if my REAL need
is Valentina Server: Valentina 1.X Server is OK for me.

Again, I don't see any reason why RB5 will "beat" Valentina 2 market  
because
of its new ServerSockets ;-) Plus, your argumentation seems to be based  
on future
RB5 Windows IDE users base that is not exist today and will not be  
really significant
before months.

I don't know if I'm the only one to feel that need but basically, if  
Paradigma provides a
Valentina Server based on what I've got today as a standalone RDBMS, I  
would buy it.

Regards.
