Norman, I believe we have this already in Valentina Server.

Let's clarify. What you mean My Server?
Some app made in RB which must be run on server, open some dialogs to
control server, yes?

THIS IS POSSIBLE right now.
Although in fact Valentina server run self as DLL.
You app will be actually just a client. In fact this is great, because it
can be run on any network computer and monitor server.

We offer even more. With Valentina Server you can TOTALLY rename it and tune
it in such way, that user see everywhere MyKillerAppServer.
User even will not see word Valentina. This allow you make very customized
solution.

Again let's clarify.

This is possible say in Valentina Server, because it is SEPARATE PROCESS
which have many threads. REALBasic plugin -- client is single thread.
And is just a bridge.

If talk about V4RB LOCAL, which self contains engine, I think it also will
be single thread.

I see. We was going as first step add Attached Tables from other Valentina
db.

I wonder, how Valentina can use Oracle's tables? Via ODBC?
Then I think this can be feature not of Valentina engine itself,
But of Valentina Studio application. IT already have ability work with ODBC
dbs and Valentina dbs in the same time.

What is the most important features of SQL99 on your opinion?

ok

And result stored as TMP table on disk?
Until original table will not be changed?

Really

+ HOT BACKUP
