BLOBs go to cache. 
Well, may be for such tasks, when you have BIG records, then you have good
performance with big cache too, because the number of blocks in cache still
is not huge.

Valentina server will run on OS X, Windows and Linux.

Valentina clients will run on MacOS 9 also. No problems here.

Valentina client as JDBC 4 type, will run on ANY platform, including e.g.
